Manic Monday – Planet Simon, the week ahead

So this week there are as always a few things going on. However, unlike other weeks there's one or two things of importance that I can't say much about now but let's say things might be about to change a bit and who knows where that may lead me? Last week I managed to do …

Earth Day

In case you didn't know, today is Earth day. A day where we focus on this self supporting spacecraft whizzing through the cosmos that we call home. We need to help this world keep us alive and looking amazing... As usual I like to see things a bit differently. What better way than from Saturn... …

Where my feet have been – Portsdown Hill

Birds amazing way of reusing

My dog is very hairy and often needs a trim which is done outside. I've noticed how some Great Tits have Ben using this fur for their nest materials. I took these pics of them collecting the fur. The way they reuse stuff puts us to shame.   Simon 🙂

Hubble Spots Auroras on Uranus

What Hubble can see these days is amazing! This is a composite image of Uranus by Voyager 2 and two different observations made by Hubble — one for the ring and one for the auroras. Ever since Voyager 2 beamed home spectacular images of the planets in the 1980s, planet-lovers have been hooked on auroras …
