Paignton Library Coding Club update
Paignton library have announced the new code club, this will be will only be ONCE A MONTH & aimed at 9-16 year olds, a parent or guardian MUST attend.
Please get in touch with Paignton Library for more information.
The Library are still looking for a leader to support myself and Helen to run the sessions, if we can get more people to come forward it also opens up more clubs and increases the pool of expertise.

New Superheavy Element Synthesis
Interesting post found on Matrix today, :-
New Superheavy Element Synthesis Points to Long-Sought ‘Island of Stability’ you can read more about this in the scientific American article published on 24th September
Seems interesting, as I read a paper a few years ago suggesting element 120 was present in Przybylski's Star. In fact, a number of papers on arXiv have suggested some interesting properties and chemistry.
Here is a link to the Matrix Physics Room where I found the link mentioned above

STSCI Public lecture – Sept 2024
NASA's Next Big Thing: The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope
Date: Tue 3 Sep 2024 Location: Virtual Time: 8:00 PM – 9:30 PM EDT
**Speaker: **Ori Fox (Space Telescope Science Institute)
More information can be found here
NASA's upcoming Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope (Roman) is readying for launch in late 2026. Roman will be able to survey the sky 1,000 times faster than Hubble. It will collect near-infrared imaging and spectroscopic data with Hubble-quality resolution and sensitivity over fields of view 200 times greater than the Hubble's. Roman's data will enrich all areas of astrophysics by enabling studies of nearly every class of astronomical object, phenomenon, and environment across the observable universe. Dr. Fox will discuss the details of the Roman mission, with a focus on its scientific goals. These exciting studies include the discovery of thousands of new planets and pinpointing the source of a mysterious force called Dark Energy that permeates our Universe.
I will try and share some thoughts on my Matrix Science Room

Upgrading mint 21.3 to 22
Following the recent release of Linuxmint 22 [1] Users can now upgrade directly from the previous 21.3 release to Linuxmint using these instructions [2]. The usual warnings with regard to backups apply. Thank you to the support channel [3] on matrix for these instructions.
