Looking forward to chairing a conversation between Astronomer Royal Martin Rees and best-selling author Dr Una McCormack for the 2024 Cambridge Festival! We'll be chatting about science fiction and science fact. You can watch on YouTube tomorrow at 8pm: youtube.com/live/FKT5lOFJj…

This looks like a great opportunity for secondary science students. Schools take a look. m.facebook.com/story.php?stor…

ESA - Webb discovers methane and carbon dioxide in atmosphere of K2-18 b esa.int/Science_Explor… Well done Nikku Madhusudhan and team from Cambridge.

DMS dimethyl sulphide was detected.

Click on the ESA link and open it. Near the end of the script there’s another link referencing the publication details.

Far too slow in realising his judgement is suspect.

Thank you Matt. Your input is always very welcome. Very much looking forward to your next visit. I will ask Jayne. I’m hoping to catch up with her in Oxford.

Literally speechless at the #aurora over the UK right now. Sat in a field taking pictures (and made friends with some hedgehogs). What an evening

I served with military and we were all surrounded by skilled voluntary personnel. I would not have felt at all happy standing shoulder to shoulder with a press ganged teenage conscript. Is this idea possibly not thought out?

I'm going to be celebrating the launch of my newest book, Astrophysics for Supervillains, with a children's talk at the Royal Institution Royal Institution (now on Bluesky)! It's at 6pm on Wed 17 Jul, and you can get tickets here: rigb.org/whats-on/can-y…

Redshift 14! 🤯

It's so great to be hosting this! Thanks to everyone at National Space Academy for making this possible. Hopefully this is the first of many Cambridge Space Camps 🤩🚀

This is an incredible piece of work by Jonathan Pie. From the research, to the sequencing, to the performance. You want to know why so many people are turning away from vapid MSM and looking to political comedy & alternative news? Look no further. 👇

Great after school session with a few Y5 primary school children. Building on recent solar astronomy visit to the school. Titled: Solar Physics and Aurora. Including PP chain, triple alpha and CNO fusion reactions and much more. It’s looking good for tomorrow’s scientists.

Strongest “missing link” in black hole physics discovered at last Here it is: our first surefire intermediate mass black hole! Not stellar mass, not supermassive. At no less than 8200 solar masses at the core of Omega Centauri, it's a huge discovery! bigthink.com/starts-with-a-…

IT’S FINALLY HAPPENED 😍🤩 JWST HAS OBSERVED MY FAVOURITE GALAXY! 🚨😍🤩🥳

This was fun :)

Musk you stupid man.

📸☀️ These images show tiny magnetic bright points embedded in the darkest regions of the solar granulation, the so-called intergranular lanes. There, the gas moves downwards into subsurface layers. ️ More info on Quiet Sun Bright Points 👉🏻 tinyurl.com/Quiet-Sun-Brig…
