Just texting someone about spacetime diagrams of the Universe (conformal diagrams if you really care) and the autocorrect called the beginning of the Universe The Big Bag. Which amused me more than it should have.

‘Welcome to Mumps Spaceport. The home of the tubular bandage’.

President Trump says it perfectly. A patchwork of 50 different state systems creates a maze of conflicting regulations, resulting in chaos. Follow me to join the conversation on leading the AI revolution.

This paper - which is really technical but is in my view exhilarating to at least read through (if not fully understand to say the least!) if you have an interest in quantum gravity / black holes / holography etc etc, contains what is surely one of the great footnotes. ‘We leave

This was such a fun photo to set up, to get the right lighting angle as we circled Earth, and to make time during the frenzied docked schedule. It was taken on a film camera by cosmonaut Thomas Reiter through Sergei Avdeev's sleep station window on the Mir space station. The sun

We've just released the latest images of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, as observed by eight different spacecraft, satellites, and telescopes. Here's what we've learned about the comet — and how we're studying it across the solar system: https://t.co/ZIt1Qq6DSp

LIVE: See the latest images of comet 3I/ATLAS, the third object we've ever seen passing through our solar system from elsewhere in the galaxy. We’re sharing what we know about this visiting comet, how we’re studying it, and what we can learn from it.

This is superb. It’s easy to get confused and over-complicate, or perhaps over-interpret, what our observations of nature can tell us. Alain Aspect is so clear and precise here - a wonderful insight into what experimental physics is all about. And also a great historical tour of

On Wed., Nov. 19 at 3pm EST (20:00 GMT), we’re hosting a live event to share new imagery of the interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, collected by our fleet of @NASA space missions! Use #AskNASA to submit questions for NASA leadership to answer on-air. Details: https://t.co/hcWn028A8D

There is no one better than @ErikWernquist at imagining wonderful human futures in space.

#3IATLAS update: we've just pinpointed the comet's path with 10 times more accuracy, using data from our @ESA_ExoMars Trace Gas Orbiter spacecraft.😎 https://t.co/M5kAleOMsq @esascience @ESA_TGO @esaoperations

Congratulations @blueorigin - wonderful !

Should be on the way to Mars in about 6 minutes :-)

Blue Origin are hopefully launching NASA’s ESCAPADE spacecraft(s) towards Mars this evening (UK time) at around 8pm ….

45 years ago today we got our first closeup of the Solar System’s very own “Death Star!” Captured by Voyager 1 on November 12, 1980 as it passed Saturn, this image (PIA01968) shows the moon Mimas with its 139 km wide, 5 km deep Herschel crater. #OTD @starwars

Another two day simulator check complete and licence signed so I can go flying the real thing again 😎 What did we have to deal with this time? Fuel pump problems. Hitting a flock of birds just as we took off leading to a stalling number one engine which recovered then completely

I just used the DVLA website and it’s very good. Thought I’d say something positive on here :-)

This is really wonderful. A visitor from another solar system that may well be older than our solar system. I think with all the nonsense around this comet we’re in danger of missing how fascinating it is (and how much we’ll learn from a scientific point of view!)

I've summarized the truth about Loeb's 10 "anomalies" about 3I/ATLAS in one post. Thanks to @Deschscoveries, Michael Busch, @aciqra, and @TMEubanks for contributing their expertise! https://t.co/psonqLVhd0
