โWe can actually detect the heat of a bumblebee if it was flying around on the surface of the moonโthat's how sensitive this telescope is.โ

The school moth trap was positively humming first thing this morning! 30 different species so far. Not bad for right by the M40!
Still a few to identify:
1. Is this the tricky double square spot?
3. Is this Oncocera semirubella (isn't this quite rare?!)

The pumpkin toadlet is so small that its vestibular system doesn't function well.
This means it is very bad at jumping.

Here is an article about the decline of the insect population.
Do look up citizen science volunteering roles to see if there is any way you could help!

One way to monitor the effects of climate change on ecosystems is by moth-trapping (ask Miss Venn!) to check numbers of this important order.๐ฆ
Here's a lackey moth on a paperplant (known as a 'high 5 plant' here at JHGS Science HQ!) enjoying the sunshine! #NaturePhotography
"The whole thing will take 7 mins. It moves slowly near the horizons and quickly overhead.
I saw it last night and its amazing how quickly it moves overhead. Apparently it is travelling at 17,500 miles per hour and only takes 90 mins to get all the way round the Earth!" @nasa ๐ฐ๏ธ
Miss Hush recommends trying to spot the space station tonight (sounding like Elrond talking to Frodo!)
"Look to the west at 10:20pm. The ISS will look like a bright star that's moving.
It will rise and go directly overhead and disappear in the east." #iss

Its #blackholeweek . So today's article from the science newspaper looks at 'hairy black holes'! #BlackHoles A novel astronomical theory ๐ @JHGSHW
Want to know what a black hole sounds like? See the @NASA link! ๐:

If a black hole erupts in space and no one is around to observe it, does it make a sound?
Not to worry; the @ChandraXray Observatory is here with new #BlackHoleWeek sonifications from galaxy clusters far, far away. Listen: https://t.co/yGu0RuP7TX
