I mentioned on #BBCBreakfast yesterday that I would see in the #SturgeonMoon with a moonlight dip. Being in water is a wonderful vantage point to observe the sky.

Great chat this morning on the #BBCBreakfast sofa with Nina Warhurst and Roger Johnson on the #UKSpaceIndustry and the importance of funding #Physics and #SpaceSciences.
Physics sector is an engine of our #economy, not a drain on it. Without it we'd have less money for schools, hospitals, etc. 🧪🔭

Regarding how we might move such an object - the NASA DART mission did exactly this in 2022 by slamming into #Dimorphos, a rather larger asteroid than #2024YR4. Here's a (truncated) clip of me talking to #BBCbreakfast about it, hours before the impact. 🔭🧪
