Enquiry from an 8yo asking what the Fulton Orrery planets were? Apparently the #Kelvingrove museum staff didn't know, so he e-mailed the Astronomer Royal to find out! I also didn’t know, but the AstroSociety of #Glasgow did (after watching an old VHS recording on the topic!) 🔭 #histsci 1/2🧵

3I/ATLAS is the first interstellar object bright enough for amateurs to image: so fabulous to see the delight ☄️😍
I got it... I actually got it... Interstellar comet 3i, imaged from the middle of light-polluted Kendal, at 6am this morning, using my Seestar S50... This comet was already billions of years old before our Sun was even *born*... Very chuffed with this!

A #CosmicVision mission, #ESAEnvision will be the first mission to provide a complete view of Venus from its inner core to its upper atmosphere.
Its goal is to determine how and why Venus and Earth evolved so differently.

Note - there is a Measles vaccine available across Australia!
Even if you were vaccinated when you were younger, if you get another round (2 shots, several weeks apart) it will not harm you, and boost your protection.
Measles is a *terrible* illness and you do not want it.

You can disagree and argue as much as you like but the point of evaluating something scientifically is that not every statement should be given equal credence because evidence matters
JD Vance: "Science as practiced in its best form is that if you disagree with it, then you ought to criticize it and you ought to argue against it."

This is what gender solidarity & collective action to oppress women looks like, Part 4:
Jeffrey Epstein funding conferences specifically to exclude & disadvantage women scientists.
Many men knowingly participated in this & it wasn't out of class solidarity--physicists aren't billionaires.
