Chris Lintott’s Universe

It’s (almost) Christmas, and buying presents is a nightmare.

Fortunately, here at Oxford Astrophysics we have a solution. Beautiful vintage prints of Palomar Sky Survey plates are available from Operation Skyphoto, set up to raise money to help treat Alexander Thatte, the son of two Oxford Physicists who has leukaemia. All money raised will go toward Alexander’s treatment or to research into leukaemia, so treat the astronomer in your life this Christmas.

For a little extra, you can even have your edition autographed by Jocelyn Bell-Burnell, or ‘gift wrapped by real astrophysicists’.
