Hey space fans! The podcast I recorded with @ProfBrianCox and other fab folks is out now! https://t.co/fC4zbUU7FK

It’s all about who owns space - increasingly important as we rely on it for so much of our communication.

@chrislintott What’s better than a mission to Jupiter? A mission to its moons 😃😃

@mggtTaylor Damn dirty snowballs getting in the way of the nice sunset.

What a day. What a launch. We are off to Europa! @EuropaClipper #epic

[Carly Howett @CarlyHowett]

Last leg of a metaphorical and literal long journey. First launch opportunity is set for Monday. Yay Europa Clipper 🤞🚀🤞😃

[Carly Howett @CarlyHowett]

@bbcweather You mean hurricane force winds aren’t about to blast Oxfordshire? That’s good 😊 (Thinking of those that this is very much untrue for).

[Carly Howett @CarlyHowett]

So proud to have worked on the new amazing BBC series on the Solar System. I don't think I've made the credits before :-)

If you're in the UK then the whole series is now on iPlayer (~55 mins into the Ice World episode is where it gets really good 🤣)

Cancelling tomorrow’s ticket to head to Florida was hard, but I know it’s the right decision. Hope people already out there stay safe, and I get to see you for the @EuropaClipper launch on the other side. #boohurricanes #bettersafethansorry

@SpaceMarschall @ESA_Hera @SpaceX @NASAKennedy Let’s hope it gets out of dodge before Milton arrives 🤞

Packing my bags and crossing my fingers! #EuropaClipper #yaylaunches #seeyousoon

🤩 One last look at #EuropaClipper as the payload fairings close!

The spacecraft will be on a nearly 6-year journey to investigate if there are habitable conditions on Jupiter’s moon Europa. Liftoff is targeted for Oct. 10 on a SpaceX Falcon Heavy!🚀

With vague apologies for the self-promotion: some filming I did earlier in the year is coming out. It's in different formats in the UK and US. I'm more in the US one, and mainly in the Ice Worlds episode. They're all awesome though! https://t.co/APpjQoEPI6

If you wanted to hear me explain more about supermoons and lunar eclipse while I have covid then today is your lucky day (starting 1 hr & 20 mins in https://t.co/VvzDOECv7j)

[Carly Howett @CarlyHowett]

@DoEfc @chrislintott Even understanding what the surface looks like in detail will be awesome. Is it like a small near earth asteroid, or like a large main belt one? We don’t know! 😃

[Carly Howett @CarlyHowett]

Today @LucyMission flies by it’s first asteroid target, the intriguing main belt asteroid Dinkinesh. I’m so excited, I was lucky enough to have been involved in this mission since early in the process and it’s been amazing to see it through launch and now onto a target. Go Lucy!

[Carly Howett @CarlyHowett]

It’s funny going to the places you’ve seen on the telly, to be on the telly.

[Carly Howett @CarlyHowett]

@DrPaulDWilliams That’s hilarious. I hope you use it as an entrance for every talk you give 🤣

[Carly Howett @CarlyHowett]

@soto97 I miss 🍩

[Carly Howett @CarlyHowett]

Go #ESAJuice (watch party at @RoyalAstroSoc during a lunch break)

[Carly Howett @CarlyHowett]

@jtuttlekeane We just don’t need to go back there with three spacecraft…..
