Interesting plain-language summary of the amazing results from the #Saturn #DYNAMICO #GCM, well done Dr. @deborah_bardet! #LMD @Sorbonne_Univ_

@dahlek88 @NRoweGurney @arrate_wp01 @spacecentre @WebbTelescopeUK @PhysicsUoL Yep, hope to see you there!

Spent the week targeting @ExoMars_CaSSIS, a colour/stereo imager on board the @ESA_TGO in #Mars orbit imaging areas like Oxia Planum, landing site of the Rosalind Franklin @ESA_MarsRover, @uniofleicester @ESA_MarsRover

To Shanghai! Excited to be heading to the 13th UK-China Space Conference in Ningbo - with @HughMortimer and @NRoweGurney: https://t.co/BH5or9pthL

Good morning from Charlotte NC! I can tick another state off my list now, as we set off over the mountains to #DPS18 in Knoxville. With Nick Teanby and @NRoweGurney navigating, what could possibly go wrong?

Wrapping up the second and last day of the Aylesbury skill fair with @nigepb, it seems people really like what we had to offer! Result!

[Padraig Donnelly @PTDonnelly]

Kicking off the skills fair in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire. Hopefully @nigepb and I can entice people to physics at Leicester!

[Padraig Donnelly @PTDonnelly]

Here's one I brought from home. Normally I'd take it to be good luck but sadly this means that the clouds are up here - not good for observing! #NASAIRTF

[Padraig Donnelly @PTDonnelly]

Daaaamn, looking well! https://t.co/8gjX5gU0pt

The @PhysicsUoL Leicester Planetary Atmospheres group. Shaping up rather nicely.

The @BBCStargazing team joined us for last month's @europlanetmedia #RASJuno meeting in London - catch @jonny_nichols, Candy Hansen, Fran Bagenal, Anthony Wesley, Chris Go and I talking about #Juno's latest discoveries (BBC4 7.30pm Thursday): https://t.co/zrW6gn4cNA

Image PJ13_44 obtained by @NASAJuno on May 24, 2018 when the spacecraft was 54000 km from Jupiter's cloudtops. Approx true color/contrast & enhanced versions. Processed to test a new version of the software I wrote to process the JunoCam data. Everything seems to work as planned.

Marco Vedovato put together a great gif from May 15th to June 4th showing demise of the "connecting flow" just left of the #GreatRedSpot (the South Tropical Disturbance):

Very nice work! https://t.co/Kzrbe4tdfJ

Sad to say that tonight we have finished observing at the #VLT. Goodbye PJ13 and thank you Jupiter! Now to find a pint of Guiness in Santiago to test the inverse square law...

[Leigh Fletcher @LeighFletcher]

Jupiter data streaming in to UT3/Melipal - we're seeing a very narrow North Equatorial Belt, bright southern auroral heating, and a weird isolated stratospheric hotspot in the north... Juno's perijove longitude is 70mins away....

[Leigh Fletcher @LeighFletcher]

Calling #amateur #Jupiter observers, particularly those in S. America: @PTDonnelly and I are heading to @ESO's #VeryLargeTelescope for 4 nights of Jupiter infrared observing (May 24-27), but we need visible-light images for context - if you can help, the times are below!

[Padraig Donnelly @PTDonnelly]

Excited for the kick-off of #RASJUNO workshop hosted by Leigh Fletcher and John Rogers!
