Christian Jones and Professor Tom Rutherford recently represented King's Burke Observatory at the American Astronomical Society's meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Christian presented his research based on open-source data from the European Space Agency's Gaia mission, which he used to create a 3D model of nearly 800 stars in a cluster roughly 500 light years away. We are so proud of Christian and Professor Rutherford as they carry on Dr. Burke's legacy.
