The cardboard Mora Jai box in its off state. The inside of each dome LED diffuser is coloured black and a small tactile button is next to each dome

A day off has coincided with some dry and mild weather, so we are once again doing the Sisyphean task of grass cutting…

I’ve just been looking at places to rent and no, I wouldn’t ether. I’ll stick to my planetarium in Glasgow for now

It’s amazing that somewhere the size of London has only one Planetarium. This is tempting to apply for but London is so expensive to live in 😒

You mean we have to go to social events now to meet new people?! Don’t they know about astronomers’ working hours? 😭

Tabby cat in sharp focus sat on a walkway railing. Behind the cat is an area filled with tall, green, leafy plants with small purple flowers

Don’t even know whose cat this is, it just looked cute for me

When you work in a planetarium, it’s only right to take the odd β€œcool scientist under the stars” selfie (pretending to give a talk to a full audience).

I appear to have taken up jogging. Not very well, but we all start somewhere. Not pictured: the little toad I saw at the last minute and managed to avoid stepping on

Finally processed my quick snap of last night's conjunction of Venus and the Moon. First picture is with the big lens, second is just with phone night mode.
