Sakshee’s acceptance into this program is a remarkable achievement and a reflection of her hard work, dedication, and passion for space science and exploration.

Congrats again Sakshee, we are very proud of you!

Please join us in congratulating Destiny Howell for her outstanding presentation at the UTSA COLFA Research Conference and Showcase in the poster category.

Her project, "Research on the Earth’s Magnetopause: Determining Where and When Magnetic Reconnection Occurs," received top marks across all evaluation areas—earning the highest possible scores.

Destiny’s participation exemplifies the high caliber of research being conducted by our students.

TONIGHT!

Join us Wednesday for our next Astronomy on Tap where we will have 2 new PhD’s giving talks! UTSA/SwRI’s Dr. Kylie Sullivan will discuss magnetic reconnection and UT’s Dr. Aanu Adeloye will discuss modeling volcanoes on Io. See you all Wednesday at 7PM Star Brewing Co.! 🧲🌋🍻🌌
