Guillo Gutierrez ’18 takes a turn down the Clifton rock slide near an observatory in Bristol, England. As described by The Guardian “this natural slide is nothing more than a sloping band of rock polished to shiny slipperiness by decades of dedicated bottoms.” Guillo is cheered on by classmates in the travel-learning course “Space Exploration: Past, Present and Future,” taught by professor of physics and astronomy Robert Harmon, (from left): Zoey Rosenthal ’18, Julia Anne Caple ’20, Haley Talbot-Wendlandt ’18, Dexter Allen ’21, Alec Martin ’19, Gracie Clevenger ’21, Emily Ehrhart ’20, and Sami Bates ’20. The group visited England and Germany in May and toured European Space Agency facilities and other European observatories. (Photo by Reilly Wright ’20)
