A glowing full moon hangs low in the dark night sky, its surface tinted a rusty red as Earth’s shadow casts a total lunar eclipse. The moon’s edges glow softly against the blackness, creating the striking effect known as a Blood Moon.

Don't miss tonight's celestial show...πŸŒ•πŸͺ

The Corn Moon, our last full moon of summer, will rise in total lunar eclipse...glowing deep red as a Blood Moon.

Catch it climbing the horizon from 19:30, with Saturn shining close by, shining brighter than usual.

Another visit from a right wing group to Liverpool. Another counter demo. This time it was UKIP. Their leader was in there somewhere too, apparently.

10 years of urban goals. 10 years of tales to tell. From attempted carjackings to being chased by sex workers. It's all gone on. Over 40 major cities and towns across the UK visited on the way. I've lost count of the miles I've covered and the estates I've been to. Totally worth it.
