TONIGHT is the last chance to join in our beginners' stargazing challenges 100hours.online . It looks like there will be clear skies in the North East up from Leeds and into Aberdeenshire. Look up, it's a treasure hunt in the sky!

It's the last day of 100hours.online ! If you have clear skies, pop outside or peek out a window and see if you can complete any challenges to add to our stargazing map. Best region looks like the North East and up to Aberdeenshire but there are gaps in the clouds in other places too.

I'll be at Norman Lockyer Observatory in Sidmouth tonight talking about 100 Hours at their public observing event. I've heard the view through their telesope is AMAZING (and I heard that from a keen amateur astronomer who's played with a lot of telescopes) normanlockyer.com

Had great fun this week meeting the team at Brighton Astro and giving a talk about sharing our passion for space. Love their fresh take on an astronomy society; am feeling very inspired! Check them out if you're in the area: brightonastro.com

Fulldome Festival Brno here we go! Probably my favourite event of the year (other than the Andover Astronomical Society Star-b-cue, obviously)

Nice to see two of 'my' shows featured by Edinburgh! For Voyager, I helped rewrite the English translation and with the voice direction. And I led the National Astronomy Week 'Chasing the Moon' planetarium collaboration that spawned this live show, which was presented across the UK.

Sweet. I have a pair of those in white

Learning about meeting astronauts at science museums, in Spanish. The adult, Eddy, is very excited - for him astronauts are Apollo era heros. The child, Junior, is not - for him anyone can be an astronaut if they are rich enough.
