As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

As Lucozade is trending, I’d just like to say that I still absolutely stand by the fact that you can roughly determine the age of someone by whether they see Lucozade as a sport energy drink or something their mum let them have as a kid when they were poorly.

Mirrored sunset hues. One of the best shoots which I’ve enjoyed here. Three prior visits were wrecked by mallards & scullers. I’m glad I persevered. Even though I ran out of depth charges by the end :) @ThisisDurham @CultureCounty @DurhamCouncil @durhamcathedral @VCDBusiness

Yesterday I spent hours capturing this: an intricately detailed photo of the sun shot using a specially modified telescope. Here it is in the full 164 Megapixels, so you can zoom into every nitty gritty detail. That sunspot group on the top is currently pointed right at Earth!

I spent the morning freezing my butt off on the side of the road to get a shot of this: That’s the International Space Station moving Mach 25 in low earth orbit transiting the moon 1000x further away! – at Arizona, USA

Following the terribly sad news of the passing of a true hero yesterday, our beloved Johnny Johnson, only one place was suitable for some low flying and airdrop training today in the A400. The whole crew joined me in remembering him as we flew. Lest We Forget. RIP Sir.

BBC reporter asking what they thought was a random guy if he remembers the 1967 FA Cup match and he was actually the Liverpool goalkeeper who played in it!

When you lay bricks like dominoes at the proper distance, on top of the obvious domino effect, you get an unexpected opposite wave starting as soon as the last bricks falls down [Learn why https://xitter.cf/t.co/Rkc16Wc2CA] [📹 Satisfrying: buff.ly/3OLUVcG]
