Thank you to our speakers, weekly delegates and to everyone who took part in Scilly Dark Skies Week (in person or online), for making it such a huge success. Yesterday, we opened the solar can that has been on the roof of the warm room for the past year tracking the sun.

Worth looking out for tonight.

[BBC Sky at Night Magazine @skyatnightmag]

This evening is a good time to spot the famous Lunar X and Lunar V on the Moon.

The effects will be formed around 19:20 BST when the Moon is just to the west of south in the daytime sky.

@CarolynKennett Wow that's a stunning image

[Carolyn Kennett @CarolynKennett]

Cruthers Hill has three entrance graves on it. All positioned with commanding views over the Islands, this is the better preserved one. Picture taken earlier this year on a balmy October day, hence @JamieAshle in shorts. 🩳 #megalithic #tombtuesday #IslesofScilly
