Did you see the first images from @NASA and @esa' Solar Orbiter?
The spacecraft completed its first close pass of the sun and returned the closest photos ever taken of the #Sun: go.nasa.gov/3eAc9Gb

2020 is the year we need to tackle #ClimateChange seriously.
It is impacting farmers today, right here in Australia.
We can change the trajectory. We can live more responsibly. Every person plays a role in achieving this.

More #citizenscience!
Don't forget to record every dead tree you see for the vital #DeadTreeDetective project. Your observations help Aussie scientists understand widespread tree death and how we might reduce it!

This photo sent to #DeadTreeDetective from Kain's Flat, near Mudgee. This is the impact of #drought + #heatwave, not fire. Just to underline that it is not only fire that our forests need to recover from!

50 years ago today, Neil Armstrong, Mike Collins and I launched into space on a mission of enormous importance. God bless the 400,000 Americans who helped us get to the moon and back. Together, we Americans can do anything! Never forget July 16, 1969! #Apollo50

For the first time I visited today the Gilmour factory. The rocket is ready to fly and touching it was an incredible feeling. I met an incredible team. One dream, one vision. We all have to fly hight now, it is time to make it happen. @GilmourSpace @fleetspace @blackbirdvc

Cool! Our nearest star might have another planet!
You saw it here first, at #Discuss2019. The Red Dots team is publicly announcing a new candidate planet around Proximan Centauri — “Proxima c,” which would be a world with a minimum mass of 6 Earths at 1.5 AU. Needs confirmation, but still... !!!!

That feeling when you’re only one day away from a destination you’ve been dreaming about for your whole existence: 🤩

My student Alfie Nash made this. While looking for supernova with @NASAKepler, 6 different asteroids in a couple of weeks passed in front of this galaxy. There are a lot of asteroids out there!

This is exactly the sort of thing we want to see more of in SA: Adelaide satellite startup @myriotaglobal has secured $15millUS in funding and is set to become a key internet comms network. Congrats to the team bit.ly/2pJcAXv #SAjobs #SAeconomy
