Earth is where humans and cats come from, but it might not be the only planet with life... there are so many amazing places in our space neighbourhood! My Solar System book is purrfect for young scientists who want to learn more about the planets. flyingeyebooks.com/shop/prof…

Happy #DinosaurDay! These incredible creatures walked the Earth for way longer than humans have existed - millions of years longer in fact! It was 65 million years ago that an asteroid wiped many of them out, but they were around for about 165 million! #facts #WednesdayWisdom

This is the circulatory system...MY circulatory system, to be precise! This vast network of blood vessels allows your body to move essential nutrients and oxygen around easily - rather like roads. 🚗💨 #science #biology #HumanBodyOdyssey

Whenever someone is moving outside of a spacecraft (also known as a #spacewalk), it's very important that they are tethered with a strong cord. Without this, they might float away because it's very hard to control your movement in a vacuum! #space #science #physics

When do you think we'll be going back to the Moon? 🌕 Astro Mouse is certainly hoping it's soon, although I've told him many times that our neighbour isn't really made of cheese...

NASA has big plans to go back to the moon and one of the prime spots is its southern pole. This photo, taken by NASA, shows the Shackleton crater in the center—one of several craters in the south that likely contains a large amount of water ice. 📸NASA wired.trib.al/ayIRtpT

Whatever germs and microbes try to get into your body, your skin is the first line of defence: a thick wall of cells that helps keep your delicate organs safe! #WednesdayWisdom #biology (learn more amazing science in my books via profastrocat.com)

Summer is almost here, explorers ☀️ Make sure to protect your eyes and skin from ultraviolet rays by using sunglasses and sunscreen: the atmosphere protects us from most of the radiation, but we need to top it up too! #science #sun #astrocat

#WednesdayWisdom! Blood is one of the body's most important delivery systems: your blood can carry oxygen, engulf and remove germs, and so much more! Each type of blood cell has its own specific jobs - learn more in my #HumanBodyOdyssey: bit.ly/2LoPT8r

We have an image of a #BlackHole! This is even more exciting than the time I found a can of tuna I'd forgotten about in the back of my rocket... 😻

Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87. The image shows a bright ring formed as light bends in the intense gravity around a black hole that is 6.5 billion times more massive than the Sun
