We are the South East Physics Network, a group of six universities across the SE of England working together to broaden the horizons of physics and physicists.
Check out our blog on the fantastic Moon Palace project and its recent visit to SEPnet partners. A converted school bus turned art exhibit and working observatory, it lets people explore space in their own way 🚀
