Andy’s work is beautiful in the gallery - and on offer the new Space Shop too
Delighted to finally reveal the new SPACE gallery at London's @sciencemuseum.org.uk!
It was a pleasure to help - providing what may well be the largest photo of the🌖on🌎!
The gallery is stunning, and it's so special to see the Apollo 10 Command Module alongside Soyuz.

Very sorry to hear Tim Radford has died. Great journalist with a vast range.

A global survey of attitudes towards science is reassuring, though suggests scientists need to do more to engage with the public, says Science Director, Roger Highfield.
