3I/ATLAS, just the third interstellar object detected from earth. Captured from London , 12 hours after its 5 billion year journey towards us from some remote solar system. Now heading back into the void, and will likely never be seen again by any sentient creature

Stephan’s quintet - a group five galaxies ~280million light years away. Captured from Bethnal Green over six nights

The squid nebula - discovered in 2011 by an amateur astronomer. Captured over five nights from London and Italy

Ink poisoning turned out to be much less of an issue than it seemed when I was a kid

Whenever possible! Which in London is not very often sadly, but makes the opportunities more precious when it happens

This one was captured over 3 nights from London and Umbria, Italy

The wizard nebula, captured over several nights from London and an eleventh century Italian watchtower

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that can slow its progression and transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC.

Good morning everyone! I have a feeling today is going to be a good day 🌅

A highly preliminary Saturn from my new telescope

The Ghost of Cassiopeia captured over 6 nights from Bethnal Green. It’s interstellar matter interacting with the middle star from the constellation’s W #astrophotography #astronomy

Wow the future turned out amazing. You get to go on the computer every day

I fondly remember my previous incarnation as a kingfisher. Halcyon days

My opinion on all competitive sports

Galaxy C30 in September 2024 (top) and last night (bottom). A star exploded 40m years ago and its light reached earth 2 weeks ago as supernova SN2025rbs. Taken by me from Bethnal Green #astrophotography #astronomy

It is to be hoped (but, based on past experiences, not expected) that this decision will be a cause for reflection on the best way for the HD community to muster & focus its resources. Plenty of drugs designed for HD & targeting central disease mechanisms need testing now and soon. Time to move on!

This will be disappointing to many, but it’s the right decision. Regulators consider data. After 6 negative trials it’s time to admit the data don’t support pridopidine as a symptomatic (2006-2015) or disease-modifying (2015-2025) treatment for #HuntingtonsDisease
