No description of Piazzi Smyth’s researches would be complete without mention of the Apex of the Sun’s motion.

We love this! Dirleton Solar Walk is a scale model of the solar system installed on a section of @JohnMuirWay.

Discover the planets and learn about the night sky as you walk, cycle or wheel between Dirleton village & Archerfield Walled Garden.

This aurora has a "get your kids out of bed to see it" rating. So good! Don't miss it.

[Astronomical Society of Edinburgh @ASEdinburgh]

There's going to be another good aurora tonight it seems. This from west of Edinburgh. Not even dark yet and it's starting to show.

This year's #DoorsOpenDays was another big success with over 2,700 people visiting @RoyalObs over the weekend. 🎈🎊

A fantastic opportunity to engage with the public on astronomy, engineering and science. ✨🛠️🔬

I think comet C/2023 A3 is starting to appear on the SOHO LASCO C3 images now. Just appearing on the right hand edge ☄️

The story continues - one of Piazzi Smyth's more "colourful" interests was in Pyramidology, not something universally welcomed. #histsci
