I found some #planets!
Say hello to Jupiter and Venus 🪐👋
A sunset sky ranges from dark blue in the top right to pink in the bottom left by the horizon. The outline of trees and a building form silhouettes against the sky. In the top left a small white dot is the planet Jupiter and in the middle another small white dot is Venus.

Happy #Caturday from Pumpkin and the radiator.
Stay toasty everyone!

A ginger stripy cat looks at you sleepily as he lays out on the windowsill, in the sunshine, and above a radiator. His front paw hangs down between the radiator and the wall.

I heard that's the trouble with tribbles 🤣

Ever wondered what it feels like to be in the heart of a #particle #accelerator? ⚛️
This week, my boss Andy got as close as it gets! Here he is, inside the accelerator tank at Dalton Cumbrian Facility, replacing the inner generator to keep our Pelletron accelerator running at peak performance. 💪
Inside a larger vacuum vessel, resembling a tunnel, a technician is working. He's wearing a safety harness, head torch and nitrile gloves for some delicate work. He lies on his back and reaches up to adjust the inner parts of a particle accelerator that loom over him; the accelerator inner tubes, although made from a substantial amount of metal, appear to be floating above him in mid air.

I completed my #BigGardenBirdwatch today. Unfortunately, only 2 blue tits landed in my patch, but they were checking out the bird box! Hopefully, this means there'll be some chicks in the spring 🏠 🐦 🐣

A blue title cocks its head looking at you quizzically. It is perched on a lichen covered branch. It yellow belly, white face and blue cap are vivid and bright.

Starting this new account with a relevant #physics and #cat comic. Enjoy!
