It's #NationalPollinatorWeek! Evidence suggests that light pollution may be interfering with this important interaction between plants & bugs. Learn more about how artificial light affects nocturnal pollinating insects like bees, moths, and beetles: darksky.org/lights-at-night-…

A magnitude 6 nova has appeared in Perseus. This is the brightest nova visible from the UK for nearly 5 years and should be visible in binoculars if you have a clear view of the NW sky Here is a guide which shows you where to find the nova: popastro.com/main_spa1/blog/…
