Watching the election commentary, waiting for the results to come in, @Emmiillaayy turns to me and asks ‘How do you spell Liopleurodon?’ 🤦‍♂️

[Nick @astro_amos]

@jps_astro @ISSLancaster Well, that certainly explains it.

[Nick @astro_amos]

@jps_astro @chanmc_astro @HMO_Stevo I got curious and traced back through my research masters too. There are a couple of surprising names there with Kapteyn and Russell (yes H-R diagram Russell) along with Eddington🧐

@jps_astro Was very enjoyable to give this talk, the workshop was also a great tour of galaxies through cosmic time

[Nick @astro_amos]

Was great to be able to present this work in extragal1 at @nam2022warwick hopefully it was well received! #NAM2022

@jps_astro Looks like that’s its escape velocity at the equator, do they just pick a random velocity property? 🤔

@jps_astro @rcrain_astro You’re just missing the Staffordshire oatcake there lad

[Nick @astro_amos]

@astro_calhau That’s me out then

[Nick @astro_amos]

@jps_astro Not really no…

[Nick @astro_amos]

@jps_astro Booooooo, great you’re mobile with work again but still… booooooooooo 😆

[Nick @astro_amos]

@astro_calhau But the last one was so successful, I don’t know why you’re worried

[Nick @astro_amos]

@jps_astro Also loving the 4:3 vibe

[Nick @astro_amos]

@jps_astro Those 2016 MacBook screens… honestly won’t be getting another. The time I’ve wasted over the last 12 months troubleshooting instead of working is horrendous.

[Nick @astro_amos]

@jps_astro @NewsForAllUK It’s been threatening for a while now, very concerning

@astro_calhau @Iz_garland 🎶 he’s a semi-aquatic egg laying mammal of action 🎶

[Nick @astro_amos]

@astro_calhau @Iz_garland Peeerrryyyyyyyy

[Gavin Coote @GavinCoote]

A brief pause on #COVID19nsw to bring you some platypus content. They’re going to be re-introduced into Royal National Park after being absent for 50+yrs.

Thanks to my laptop essentially giving up (shortly before I’m due to give a talk at NAM) I’m forced to complete a long awaited computer upgrade. Will be adding some nice fast storage for ⁦@ubuntu⁩ and getting it ready for science!
