If you’d like to know more about comet 3I/Atlas, you’ll find the latest observations released as pre-prints at the link below. This is the place you should look if you want detailed, reliable information. These are not yet published in journals and care is still required, but it’s as good a place as any to see fast-developing research in action, and if you have questions you may find answers here: https://t.co/2Df6ZtUPSs

After a year of scientific scrutiny, a rock sample collected by the Perseverance rover has been confirmed to contain a potential biosignature. The sample is the best candidate so far to provide evidence of ancient microbial life on Mars. https://t.co/0BAO1dhMG8

[Great British Energy - Nuclear @GBNgovuk]

We're thrilled to announce @RollsRoyce SMR as preferred technology partner for the UK’s first Small Modular Reactor.

This will accelerate secure #cleanenergy, create thousands of jobs, and position Britain as a global leader in #nuclearpower

@pete_savin Wow, a big cat?

Me suomalaiset ymmärrämme Ukrainan taistelun vapauden ja itsenäisyyden puolesta. Ukrainan asia on meidän.

We Finns understand Ukraine’s struggle for freedom and independence. Ukraine’s cause is ours.

For too long, the blockers and Nimbys have strangled our chances of cheaper energy, growth and jobs, leaving us hostage to Putin.

I'm putting an end to it.

We are changing the rules on nuclear to deliver cleaner, more affordable energy across the UK.

[Maps & Kings @mapsandkings]

I’m beyond grateful for your support on my last post! That map was a test, and you seemed to enjoy it. Following your suggestions (special shout-out to @August_Evo!), I’ve updated it with fixes and more info.

Part 2 is coming soon!

Little something I’ve been working on for while…

The Angles, Saxons and Jutes as they began to set foot on Roman Britain!

@KathrynPorter26 @MarkDampier @CoppiceJT I agree we'll need gas as a responsive rotating source, but I would disagree with you that wind is a waste of money. What ever gas can be displaced by wind is a good thing, and the market should be allowed to determine if it's profitable. Ultimately, lots of nuclear is the way 👍

[Elliott Thompson @TheAngloFinn]

This is Britain, where tolerance is expected by all and a willingness to fight on that basis is past mooot.

[Elliott Thompson @TheAngloFinn]

@CoppiceJT Very cool, is the power kept off the grid?

[Mikael Niku @MikaelNiku]

It’s ~impossible to explain how we in Finland feel about Russia to someone who didn’t grow up here. A couple of years ago, my new PhD student was worried about the war, and I tried to reassure her by telling how it is. Half-way, I realized it’s going to be inexplicably complex:

[Elliott Thompson @TheAngloFinn]

@Vivantive @AngelicaOung What's the guaranteed system availability of solar per year? Or wind? In the 20-40% range... Nuclear is in the 80-94% range
