You may have seen headlines about an upcoming supermoon, but what exactly does that mean?

I must admit, thereโ€™s a lot of anger, even when people crack the odd joke nowadays. If you are easily offended, f*****g cheer up and give the rest of us a break! I always have and always will post what I want when I want across all my social channels. They are me!

I'd love a big studio one day. Perhaps next door to a small cinema room where I can screen my creations to my friends and colleagues. Of course we would have fine meals prepared in my massive kitchen and eat banquet style in my massive dining room. They could all stay over in one

An unexpected visit to the JR hospital in Oxford today with a poorly Mrs Astro. Walking around the hospital, we couldnโ€™t help but notice the oddest thing. A solitary and random picture of Ewan McGregor as Obi Wan Kenobi, looking a lot like Jesus. ๐Ÿ˜ณ

Looks like the Moon just got a new (decent-sized) crater! Be interesting to see how the area shows up in LRO images.
