Nothing quite as mind blowingly frustrating as this type of message with no way of getting more info. I'm sat in my home office by the front door and the neighbours just had a courier delivery so we're VERY accessible. @RoyalMail @parcelforce

Yes, what a great day for Avgeeks in Ellesmere. Looks like we've been a holding area and turning point for the hundreds of aircraft lobbing in to #Sleapkosh. I had a feeling this lovely little Cub would be heading our way... #avgeek

Japanese engineers developed a “Sword Tip Visualization System” for the Fencing World Championships, and it makes fencing look absolutely incredible to watch.

Looking forward to this one. John’s books are real page turners. I’ll see what my grandparents went through in Croydon. I did hear some stories, it sounded horrific.
RT for chance to win a signed copy of BLITZ - out in May. For too long ‘The Blitz’ has been framed as a few desperate months in 1940/41 mainly affecting London. But attacks were far more widespread, far more devastating, & for most of the war. The BLITZ story is now told afresh:

Love a good arch. So visually appealing and ruthlessly functional at the same time. The compound curve on the face of this tunnel is also very nice!

Meet “Roadrunner,” a new 15kg (33 lb) bipedal wheeled robot prototype featuring multi-modal locomotion: side-by-side and inline wheel modes and and stepping. Its symmetric legs articulate at the knee for obstacle avoidance.

Dear @Tesco why, for the love of god, is the 250g Marmite no longer available? It’s in other supermarkets. I won’t be dm’ing you, let’s have it out right here in public please!

Some decent aurora from #Ellesmere in Shropshire tonight. I saw more than I photographed and didn't catch the real peak.

Hi @elonmusk @X #Grok agrees with me that the recent X Video UI tweaks have ruined the user experience. I often admire your management style of getting stuff done quickly and efficiently but how are the huge backward steps acceptable to you?

This is how absurd train travel is in the UK.

I've photographed an ISS transit of the moon before, mainly for the love of the challenge, but this is next level...
I’m proud of this one. I brought a solar telescope to Florida to capture a Falcon 9 rocket launch transiting the sun. While these have been captured before, never with the details of the sun’s chromosphere, which makes this one the first! See the video or get the print below 👇
