The Science, Innovation & Tech committee have written the most amazing letter to DSIT/UKRI/STFC:

"What is clear is that, despite your assertions to the contrary... widespread cuts have been proposed before adequate consultation with those affected was undertaken. This is wholly unacceptable" 💪🔭⚛️🧪

An overview of the three impulsive quiet Sun events (labelled Events 1–3) captured with NuSTAR on 2020 February 21. Top row: AIA 211 Å images of the flaring regions, with NuSTAR FPMA + FPMB contours shown in green. The AIA light curves were found over the grey dashed boxes. Bottom row: NuSTAR and AIA light curves showing the X-ray and EUV evolution of the events. Shaded regions represent the time intervals used for NuSTAR spectral fitting.

🔊 Exciting news! The 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿Scottish #DarkSky Observatory will live again! We were all so upset when it burnt to a cinder back in 2021, but yesterday we bought the land for its new home, deep within the Galloway Forest Dark Sky Park! 🧵1/3 🧪🔭 #astrophotography

Some stuff in the distance

And putting the solar filter to good use

Some 3D printing and a bit of crafting and I’ve now got two wee solar filters

Hypnotic yet noisy 3D printing….

Streets closed for filming in Glasgow - new running man?
