I got taken to the planetarium for my birthday last week (by ‘taken,’ I mean I dragged my wife along)

It was a lot of fun & confirmed for the 1,000th time that I am definitely in the write job 🔭✨🪐

This was the only photo either of us took & I love how janky it is!

Can’t stop looking at this awesome photo I wrote about yesterday — a ‘letter E-shaped’ aurora in Alaska created by rare black ‘anti-auroras’ that shoot electrons out of the atmosphere 🤯

Just got back from watching the amazing @sydonahi.bsky.social deliver the 2024 Caroline Herschel Prize Lecture at Bath Uni!!

It was a fascinating talk on the benefits (& surprising limitations) of using AI in astronomy & was expertly delivered

(I took this awful photo just before my phone died 🤦🏼‍♂️)

I also run Live Science’s weekly ‘Earth from space’ series, which shares old satellite images + astronaut photos of our planet & explains the amazing science behind these amazing aerial shots
