Fancy A Great Night Out?
Check out all my Night Sky Show dates in 2026 and beyond.
With over 60 sold out UK shows and one of the longest running live shows of its kind. Thousands love it!
Find dates, info and book here nightskyshow.co.uk
Unfortunately, the Night Sky Show at Caird Hall Dundee and Glasgow Royal Concert Hall next week and the week after have been rescheduled to the 13th and 14th of March 2027.
I hope the venues have already contacted you if you are a ticket holder. I'll see you in Scotland, then :)
I just rescued a toad in the road. It was going to get run over so I did my best lolly pop lady impression, picked him up and helped him on his way safely.
Here's my concern. Did picking him up and the oil/ acid in my skin injury him in any way. I heard years ago our skin is harmful to them? Old wives tail @Chrisgpackham ?
Just heard that Michael Palin has unfortunately had to cancel his tour.
I've heard he's fallen over in the bathroom and broken some ribs and fractured his pelvis. I really hope he recovers quickly, and we'll see him in the future.
Get well soon Michael.

Currently getting my new website and the new shiny app built and ready.
As I do, I've just got to double-check with you guys to make sure I'm putting everything in there that you want.
Please let me know if you have any ideas or any likes or dislikes in an astronomy app or website, and I'll put them in or take them out.
Looking for something special to do this Saturday? 🌌 The Night Sky Show: A Sky Full of Hope is at Royal & Derngate on Saturday 17 October. It’s a journey across the universe on a giant screen and a fantastic night out.

The Northern lights near Whissendine in Rutland this evening. Very odd being exactly 2 years since the last big display in October 2024. #aurora #northernlights #rutland

Gorgeous aurora visible in Northumberland during this ongoing solar storm. Catch this current show, as views will likely dim soon for a little while. Likely more aurora is coming though because this is a very complex set of storms passing over us. Thanks for reporting!
