No words to describe the experience of seeing an overhead corona aurora at THE SAME TIME as a total lunar eclipse--this happened last night on our aurora workshop. Crazy experience. The aurora was so bright and the snow glowed green under the blood moon.

Trump's comments about the UK go to show why you should NEVER try to pander to him. He is a narcissistic psychopath who will expect more and more each time you placate him.

How cringe giving him that fake 2nd state tour looks now. As we all said it would.

The Aurora over Norway last week was absolutely breathtaking! I was onboard Fred Olsen’s Balmoral cruise ship working as one of the onboard astronomers.

"Mr Furness, this month Zia Yusuf said that Reform would restore Britain's Christian heritage."

"In 2014, when David Cameron, then Prime Minister, said the same thing, you accused him of dog whistle politics and said that he was trying to assert a religious hegemony."
