Bright aurora observed tonight with rays of green and pink observed near Dornoch. The W shape of the Cassiopeia constellation can be seen in the middle at the top of the pink rays. #Auroraborealis #northernlights

Fascinating thread about aluminium production. I didn't know that if the power is off in an aluminium smelter for 5 hours the molten metal in the electrolytic cells freezes and you have to rebuild the entire plant.
🚨 Here's a thread about ALUMINIUM. Why this commonplace metal is actually pretty extraordinary. How the process of making it is a modern miracle... ... which also teaches you some profound lessons about the trade war being waged by Donald Trump. And why it might be doomed. 🧵

First hint of the Northern Lights this year poking through the clouds near Dornoch, Scotland. The plough constellation just visible above the green aurora, with the moonlight reflecting off the snow a bit. #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #Aurora

How kind. Always celebrate the people who do turn up vs being annoyed there aren’t more people in the room.
One thing I learned from @RichardWiseman very early on in my career is that you have to be able to laugh at yourself. We did a gig together in UCD and the thing was supposed to be packed. Walked out on stage from the green room to pumping music ... 🧵

Great night for stargazing. Milky Way seen overhead. Saturn's rings and Jupiter's moons observed using telescope and the Northern Lights visible in the north with the Plough constellation above the green glow. #northernlights #auroraborealis #dornoch #scotland
