This evening at 01:00am on BBC4 - the repeat of this month's The Sky at Night - as we delve into the universe's laboratories of extreme physics - Pulsars. #skyatnight #queenofpulsars

Is an egg just like a neutron star? Vanessa Graber explains on The Sky at Night: Queen of Pulsars. Available on iPlayer now.

Squash the population of planet Earth into the size of a teaspoon and you get two things - 1) well acquainted with your neighbours 2) the density of a pulsar.

With thanks to Dr Alex Andersson, Dr Kaustubh Rajwade, Dr Adriana Dias and Lucie Robbins #pulsarfacts #skyatnight

A standing ovation for the pianist Nick Naian, who delighted us at the institute's Xmas party with inspiring songs from space movies and beyond. 👏

An exceptional way to end a year full of science! 🚀
