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...... Continue Reading →

On my trip home the other week I also got to go to Portsdown hill. From here there's an amazing view all over Portsmouth, the Spinnaker tower is easily visible and I've always loved this view - even as a child. This time I took a few snaps.. They're not great - but they're ok.... Continue Reading →

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 🙂
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.

I'm knocking the the Murphy's Law on the head for Mondays. It was getting harder to find stuff to Murphy and besides that everything I wrote about was happening so being that I'm getting a bit sick of that I'm going to try and look ahead on Mondays to more positive stuff. This week is... Continue Reading →
Although only a sliver of Saturn's sunlit face is visible in this view, the mighty gas giant planet still dominates the view. From this vantage point just beneath the ring plane, the dense B ring becomes dark and essentially opaque, letting almost no light pass through. But some light reflected by the planet passes through... Continue Reading →
I used to post these on a regular basis, but I've been leaving them lately. But the big news for this week is really about the last stages of Cassini's Saturn mission.
