Last month I discussed that one of the most popular methods of exoplanet detection was the transit method. This is the process of looking at the “brightness” of the star, and seeing how it varies when the planet passes over the face of the host star, as seen from Earth. The transit method is the … Continue reading Photometry in Exoplanet Detection
In the last post we discussed how the stars came to be following the Big Bang. Stars are not all similiar and like every good thing in life, there is variety and diversity in the fabric of space that our stars are embedded in. Lads and lasses take note, when you are having a romantic … Continue reading I’m What Lies Between the Stars?

In the very beginning space, time and absolutely everything we can see and feel was compressed … Continue reading The Origin of Time and Everything
What factors determine success? What can science tell us about the best ways to learn? Over the past few months I’ve been doing a little research in this area. In this post, I’ll be discussing how to get into the right frame of mind to learn anything, dispelling a few myths about what it takes … Continue reading So You Want to Learn Science? Pt 1 – Getting in the Right Frame of Mind
Hi. My name’s Gerry and I’m a Physicist and Mathematician. If you’ve just read that and reacted with a groan, a rolling of the eyes or a tinge of panic, don’t worry! It’s not always obvious how high school mathematics relates to the wider world and learning the fundamentals of physics can be a thankless … Continue reading Meet Gerry
