Flew from Stansted Airport near London, to Copenhagen. This is after landing in Copenhagen.
Wonderful, short flight, essentially on time.
The scenery from the taxi to DTU.
A sign in the Danish language.
This is a large meteorite sample that Professor Marcel Somers showed us. The magnification in all the images is x1.
The meteorite was discovered by Professor Vagn Fabritius Buchwald of DTU back in 1965 in Iceland.
Shows the lovely Widmanstaetten pattern typical of incredibly slow cooling through the transformation temperature. In geological terminology, it is the transformation from taenite to kamacite.
Professor Somers' sample was as big as a book and we could see the structure in three-dimensions along the edge.
A careful examination shows Widmanstaetten ferrite exhibiting a plate morphology for those crystals that have traces on both surfaces.
Harry has asked Marcel to arrange for a careful re-polish so that we can see the three-dimensional shape with greater clarity.
The location where the meteorite was found.

There is a unique facility at DTU, where additive manufacturing machines are constructed in such a way that the hardware can be modified easily, unlike commercially available machines. This is very good for research, or for industry to try experiments not possible on standard machines.
Walking through Cophenhagen towards an Indian restaurant, courtesy of Professor Marcel Somers. John Hald, Matteo, Matteo Villa, Basit Ali, Dirk Ponge (Max Plank Dusseldorf), Marcel and I had delicious food and lots of discussion about life and its meaning.
Walking
Copenhagen is a bicycle city, with lovely cycle paths
The Indian Restaurant
Pay particular attention to the picture on the right.
The scene from the Comfort Airport-Hotel where Dirk and I stayed overnight to depart in the morning, after a nice breakfast.
The terminal is just five minutes gentle walk from the hotel.
Arrival at Stansted, from which I took a train to Cambridge, followed by a bicycle ride home to Comberton.
