1/ Light pollution has got significantly worse over the last 10 years, according to an analysis of 51,351 citizen scientist observations of naked-eye stellar visibility published today in the journal Science. #LightPollution #CitizenScience #astronomy


Can't wait to see what the European Space Agency's (#ESA) #HERA mission discovers about the aftermath of the #DART mission to test #PlanetaryDefense techniques at the #asteroid #Dimorphos! Watch the launch, happening imminently: esa.int/ESA_Multimediaโ€ฆ


A pleasure talking with @KasiaMadera on @BBCNews in advance of the @NASA press conference earlier. Not surprised by the decision to bring the crew back on Dragon rather than #Starliner, definitely the less risky option.

Ahead of @NASA confirming the two astronauts stuck in space will return to Earth next year, Dr Megan Argo @AstroMeg talked me through what they had to weigh up. @BBCNews



Today the folks at @festunderstars decorated an amazing 50 mini-moons ๐ŸŒ™ , and helped me experiment with constellations in three dimensions in the Satellite field ๐Ÿ›ฐ๏ธ #utsf2024 If anyone took a photo of our Cassiopeia constellation, please post it and tag me - Iโ€™d love to see it!


I'm running the Chester #RaceforLife to help fund the amazing scientists working to beat cancer. Times are tough, but if you are able to spare a few pounds please consider sponsoring me (or anyone else running!). Thank you ๐ŸŒˆ fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/megans-raโ€ฆ


I am sitting on wet grass with a soggy bum, and I donโ€™t careโ€ฆ worth getting out of bed for ๐Ÿคฉ #aurora

I'm taking part in a โฆ@raceforlifeโฉ 5k again to raise money and save lives. I lost my dad to cancer, and many good friends have been through it. Every donation makes a difference to Cancer Research UKโ€™s groundbreaking work, so please sponsor me now. fundraise.cancerresearchuk.org/page/megans-raโ€ฆ


Good grief. The @SpaceX #Starship test is going amazingly well, and the views (via Starlink) of reentry from onboard are just amazing... #wow

๐Ÿคฃ @bbcnews mixing up #sunak & #putin earlier (fixed now): โ€˜"A nation that is dependent on the whims of dictators for its energy supply can never be truly safe," Mr Putin wrote in the Daily Telegraph.โ€™ bbc.co.uk/news/science-eโ€ฆ A thoroughly depressing story though.

Heading to #London again! This time to talk about exploring the #Moon with a group of #physics #teachers on a #CPD #Astronomy course run by @PTIEducation There courses are always good fun, with teachers who are genuinely interested in their subject and passionate about #teaching


Congratulations @Int_Machines and #Odysseus, nice landing (and nifty problem solving)! There is so much activity around the #moon at the moment, itโ€™s going to be exciting to see the science that comes from all these missions! ๐ŸŒ™ ๐Ÿš€ ๐Ÿคฉ (Letโ€™s not trash the place though, heyโ€ฆ)


And so ends #Astrofest2024! Huge thanks to the @AstronomyNow team, @DrStuClark and @Dr_Lucie for organising another great event, and my colleagues from @UCLan_JHI for manning our stand. My feet are sore, my voice is tired, but it's been fab. See you all again next year!


Looking forward to #EuropeanAstrofest in London on February 2&3. I'll be there with the @UCLan #DistanceLearning #Astronomy stand + on stage at 10.30am Friday talking about exploring the #Moon. If you're attending, do pop by the stand to say hello! europeanastrofest.com
