Happy Valentine's Day! The most romantic place in the night sky is within the constellation of Cassiopeia: the Heart Nebula! The beautiful heart shape is created by the bright hot stars in the centre pushing away all the gas #valentines #astronomy #space Image Credit: James Maynard

If you're interested in astronomical paradoxes, then have a look at my astronomical paradoxes series on YouTube: they're short and sweet, and cover both solved and unsolved mysteries! #astro #space #stem #science www.youtube.com/playlist?lis...

Soft Gaia, warm Gaia, little ball of fur, happy Gaia sleepy (de-commissioned) Gaia, whir whir whir! (Psst, I've improved my Gaia Pattern which is available to purchase on my Ravelry!) #crochet #space #astro #crocheting

If you've ever looked at a galaxy's classification and wondered what all those letters mean (and why are some bracketed!), then this video is for you! #astro #space #stem #galaxy www.youtube.com/watch?v=34RA...

Nebula are some of the most colorful and pretty features of outer space! Most people know about emission nebula, but did you know there are many more types? You can learn more here + see some of the best examples! #space #astronomy #astrophotography #astro #stem www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Exi...

My take on the supposedly edible British dish called Stargazy pie, a major improvement if you ask me! #baking #astro

The phase spiral blanket is inspired by the actual phase spirals in the Milky Way discovered using Gaia, and is now a free crochet pattern! Find the free pattern here: www.ravelry.com/patterns/lib... #crochet #crocheting #freepattern #freepatterncrochet #space #astro #milkyway #Gaia

While galactic spirals are cool and all, you can't beat a good homemade cheese and herb spiral on a rainy day! #baking

Had a little trip to the Durham botanic gardens during #NAM2025, and got to see my favourite plants! And of course, obligatory pic of the river Wear.

Working on a new blanket pattern, based on some of the wildest plots I've seen in papers this year #space #crochet #stem

Space kitty! His name is Herschel 🪐 #caturday #cats #space

So sad that Gaia's come to the end of its life! If you want to learn about Gaia and its amazing discoveries, I made a little tribute video you can check out 🌌 #space #gaia #astronomy #MilkyWay youtu.be/jbdHUjEWpOI

If you want to learn more about Euclid's new images, this video is for you! #space #astro #photography www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zhx...

Forgot about the eclipse, was too busy cat-sitting this goblin. Before and after I said no more treats #caturday #cats

Very obsessed with the new #Euclid images, I think my favourite is the Cat's Eye nebula. You can easily forget many images use X-rays, UV, etc to highlight activity, so it's striking to see a violent site appear so calm in optical + NIR! #space #astronomy #science #stem

A proposed industrial complex could be disastrous for the Very Large Telescope and astronomy research! Learn more about the impact here: spacewithseti.com/2025/03/23/i... #astronomy #research #stem #astro

Launch date: 2009. Just slightly off #jwst #space

Finally got round to adding a little charm to my sweater, now it's fully complete! I'm definitely not procrastinating instead of finishing a chunky paper (it's 57 pages!!) Pattern is Spírall by Védís Jónsdóttir, knitted with Léttlopi. #knitting #astronomy

As a little goodbye tribute to Gaia, I made some cinnamon "phase spiral" buns (snúðar). Wearing my matching sweater of course! #MilkyWay #Space #Astro

My partner got me the cutest night sky glass, it even has the Milky Way on it!
