Made a banger of a comet today for space camp with National Space Academy ! Not sure my pics are as good as ESA Rosetta Mission’s though! Telescopes and earth observation tomorrow might even dig out the IR camera! #ScienceCommunication #Outreach

We're having an awesome time at our #SpaceToLearn Space Camp in Preston, at @UniLancs! Here the students are using air pressure to keep water & paper floating, and enjoying using gravitational lensing for portrait drawing in The MoSAIC UK's wonderful session!

An exciting week for space. Blue Origin hitting the news with their all female space flight, claims of Life-marker chemicals on alien worlds, and Hubble's 35th Birthday. If you want to get involved in space, look at the Space CPD course I'm supporting: space-park.co.uk/space-cpd/

Oooh an exciting new space book! It’s very well written I wonder who I should congratulate… hint: it’s me! It was a pleasure writing this with Sophie and the DK team. Available in all sorts of good book places.
