“Solar eclipses have been recorded for millennia across the world and remain an exciting experience.” Senior Lecturer Dr Jeff Grube (Jeff Grube) from KCL Physics discusses the total solar eclipse happening across North America today. #KingsQs🧵⬇️

Has any bit of London been quite so comprehensively transformed by pedestrianisation as this bit of Strand?

Curtailed observations with VERITAS last night. At least we have a spectacular reason! I was feeling envious of all the photos coming from Ireland and never expected we would see the #aurora from southern Arizona (31 N)!

Still some Tickets for the Higgs Lecture given by Jocelyn Bell Burnell tomorrow here at King's College London eventbrite.co.uk/e/higgs-lectur…

Love a mystery? So do we. Astronomers recently looked at 13 years of Fermi data, expecting to see the effects of our solar system’s motion through the universe. Instead they saw something totally different … and are still puzzled over it. More: go.nasa.gov/3Xk25eu

If you are at WOMAD tomorrow and Sunday, you can stop by the World of Physics area from 10am to lunchtime and use telescopes with Malcolm Fairbairn and myself. We're listed in the line-up as Daytime Astronomy. Thanks to Kaj Siebert for organizing.

thankfully the weather at @WOMADfestival has been lovely, and looking forward to tomorrow (Sunday) from 10am to 1pm for more radio telescope fun.

Big queue to see the sun through a solar telescope @WOMADfestival today.... Jeff Grube also detecting radio waves from the Milky Way

You may have heard that tonight is your chance to see a rare 'blue supermoon'. A reminder that: - The term 'Blue Moon' was invented in 1937 and has no astronomical significance. - Supermoons look just like any other Full Moon - Looking at the full Moon is always fabulous!

A rare blue supermoon promises to brighten UK’s skies tonight.🌕 But what is it and how does it happen? Senior Lecturer Dr Jeff Grube (Jeff Grube) from KCL Physics explains #KingsQs🧵🔽

A piece I wrote on the 100th year anniversary (this weekend) of Hubble's announcement in the New York Times of the distance to Andromeda being outside the Milky Way theconversation.com/its-100-years-…

if you can read Portuguese, or like me aspire to learn some, my piece is on the Brazilian site: theconversation.com/os-100-anos-da…

tomorrow I'm giving a talk for KCL Physics and Maxwell Society on observing the Hubble constant - the current rate of expansion of the Universe.
