Important Twitter announcement: I have a new two-part tv doc coming soon (May) to BBC4. It’s called Secrets of Size: Atoms to Supergalaxies, and is rather good, though I say so myself.

#JWST Has completed its telescope alignment and begins instrument commissioning. Just take a look at all those lovely focused stars in the Large Magellanic clouds! blogs.nasa.gov/webb/

In your own words, how would you define “time”? Respectfully, I’m not looking for cheeky answers. I’m looking to put words to “time” in a way you’d describe it to a physicist or philosopher.

The pudgy, lovable, mildly creepy, microscopic Tardigrade “WaterBear” would make a most excellent @Macys Thanksgiving Day parade balloon.

Hubble's Variable Nebula. We're trying to shoot it twice a week. Problem is over the next few days all our guys are clouded out. If you have a decent scope and you are able to spare 4 hrs shooting luminance on this target over the weekend then let us know. Much appreciated. Rory

A new impact flash has been discovered on Jupiter by Brazilian observer Jose Luis Pereira - the flash occurred at Sep 13th, 22:39:30 UTC. It looks quite a bright one. Follow up images of this region will be useful to see if any dark scar was left following the event.

Remember that for the next few days, you can see all the planets in one night! (You'll need binoculars for Uranus and Neptune.) skymania.com/wp/your-chance-…

As you get into the sinister spirit for #Halloween, look to the cosmos for creepy celestial displays. 👻✨ In 2014, active regions on the Sun traced out an eerie jack-o’-lantern’s face, seen in ultraviolet light by our Sun-watching satellite. go.nasa.gov/3dNy3aa
