If you can't see it, you can't be it. How mentors and inspirational people have helped me in all areas of my life.

Wow, I’ve actually had some ideas for writing today! It’s been about 10 months…

Aaaannnd this years @openuniversity.bsky.social study begins. I'm studying SXPS288 this year which is the remote experiments in physics and space level 2 module and I can't wait to get stuck in.

The store is open to everyone! 🥰 VHSpaceArt.com 🧪🔭📷🖌🎨🐡

For anyone who is on the fence. I’ve ordered @vickypaintsspace.bsky.social art before and it’s amazing quality and beautiful to look at. If you want something unique for that art lover or space nut (or both) in your life, check out the limited run print for sale below. 🧪 🔭

LESS THAN TWO HOURS TO GO FOR EMAIL ACCESS!!! AHHHHH!!! I've just framed one to see what it looks like and omg. I might go get another print just for me, I freakin' LOVE them!!😍😍😍😍 VHSpaceArt.com 🧪🔭📷🖌🎨🐡

This weekend has been a good weekend…

Not been flying on my own for ages but after the last student flight tonight I took the Nynja up for a bit of fun and freedom. Managed to catch this perfectly timed photo of our nearest star ⭐️ ☀️ reflecting off Morecambe bay too! 🧪 🔭

Been to Oldham @parkrunuk.bsky.social this morning for 1st time in 11 years and ran 21:37 for 16th place overall and 6th in V45 (hate that im a “vet”). Just nicked Elektra’s bacon for breakfast and now working out what I’m gonna do with the rest of my wkend. No flying as the weather is gash 😭

This is a serious piece of kit! I can't wait to see what we discover using the data it captures. 🧪🔭 And it's some welcome good news amongst all the current war, fighting and geopolitics that is currently dominating the airwaves... www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Huge implications here… 🧪 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Phew… @openuniversity.bsky.social #s217 #physics exam done ☑️ That was a very long, tough exam covering EVERY topic in physics… Now the waiting begins and I’ll give myself a break before thinking about what to study in October 📕 🧪 🔭

Do people using gen AI in their 'books' realise that every single post about these 'authors' now has comments saying, 'This is what you get with self-published work' and folks are now swearing it off? It took us years to fix the stigma and you brought it back. Thanks. 📚💙

The BBC has interesting piece on the the possibility of conscious AI in the future today. 🧪 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm excited to be attending the @newscientist.com #EmergingTech2025 summit on 20th May in London. I'm looking to network and discuss the future of #AI, in many contexts, not least of which the social impact and how it will influence early careers. Who else is attending? 🧪 #NewScientistSummit

So, not sure how this is even a question... Obviously we are the cool ones! www.vogue.co.uk/article/what...

What an absolutely fantastic night. #blackhoney were brilliant in a really intimate gig at Night & Day Cafe supported by #Lacuna - Kaz and I along with a few hundred other nutters sang and danced all night. Can’t wait for the new album after hearing some of it tonight! #indiemusic #indieartist

I love this! An image that combines my fascination with space 🔭 and my love of dinosaurs 🦖 I want to work with these people one day. 🧪

Well today I was supposed to do a half marathon race but forgot to enter one, so this was my best solo effort with no race ‘encouragement’ absolutely knackered now but happy with 1:39… Still hoping to raise a bit more money for Breast Cancer Now if you can help @ www.justgiving.com/page/dannyro...

Managed to shoot some decent photos of the partial eclipse from Manchester today but the clouds built towards the end. #solareclipse2025 🧪 🔭

Eclipse ongoing right now! And Manchester weather is just about playing ball! 🧪 🔭

The Wombats were absolutely off the scale Saturday night. They played everything I was hoping for and the atmosphere was amazing. We both had an absolute blast and sang our heads off! Happy late birthday Elektra, I think it was worth waiting for! @thewombats.co.uk @aoarena.bsky.social

Solar eclipse on 29 March 2025 will be visible from the UK. Useful observing guide from Sky at Night magazine. 🔭 🧪 www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/partial...

This is a very interesting potential development… 🧪 🔭 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Been to Judd Books near Russell Square… again. One of my favourite treasure troves in London. 🦖 📖 📚

And for completeness, here’s tonight’s 40% waxing crescent moon too! 😊 🌙 🧪 🔭

Had another go at the Orion Nebula (M42) tonight and done a little post processing with Lightroom. Not sure I’m totally happy with the results yet… 🧪 🔭

Aviation hath been committed today! Four fantastic flights with three fantastic students and on potential student! Simply breathtaking. #flying #pilot #instructor #aviation

Tonight’s best captures with the #seestar. The Orion Nebula and Betelgeuse - look at all the stars around Betelgeuse that you. Can’t see with the naked eye! There are tons of them! 🧪 🔭

Another fantastic sky for astronomy at the moment! Telescope 🔭 is out and trained on the Orion Nebula at the moment! 🧪

And here are the preliminary results - no post processing, straight off the SeeStar. I’m pretty pleased with Bodes Galaxy! 🧪 🔭

So far tonight I've had time on NGC2403, M81 "Bode's Galaxy" and now I'm about to hit M64 which I prefer to call "The Black Eye Galaxy" - what a night for #astronomy here in the North West UK! 🧪🔭

Venus, Jupiter and Mars captured with my iPhone just now. Time to get the scope out I think! 🧪 🔭

And Saturday was a great last night in Manchester. Alice Lily played surperbly and @emmablackery.bsky.social put on a fantastic show. It was great to hang out with Emma’s tour manager, PWEI bassist @daveydreads.bsky.social too who was super helpful to the band and an all round good guy. Tired now. 💤

A fabulous first night in Glasgow! The sound in the venue at Stereo was superb and ALICE LILY smashed out a fantastic set which warmed the crowd up nicely for @emmablackery.bsky.social’s energetic crowd pleasing performance. Next up, Manchester! #pastandpresent #indierock
