[BepiColombo @BepiColombo]

Right now, #BepiColombo is just 165 km from Mercury's surface. This is the closest the spacecraft has ever been, and the closest it will ever get.

Having just passed the planet's north pole, the spacecraft will soon capture its first-ever images of the south pole. Stay tuned!

@whippletom I have fallen for one: medium car accident when I was hit at a roundabout. Car written off and was due the remainder of the road tax back. Had a message saying to click to claim it about three days later. Moment of clarity about an hour later and phoned bank. Common apparently!

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

The PM really does need to understand that he is now further damaging U.K. science by not immediately rejoining Horizon, presumably to placate some know-nothing fringe bloviators who know nothing about science, its value or how it’s conducted. As Lord Rees says below, it is baffling. Get on with it.
