I'm at CERN. I'm shiny. I'm looking forward to beam.

Enlightening visit to “the Dark Side” in the Gran Sasso 🇮🇹 National Laboratory deep inside an Abruzzo mountain today - meeting lots of talented scientists including many from 🇬🇧 universities researching the approx 27 per cent of the universe that is dark matter…🇮🇹🇬🇧🇮🇹🇬🇧

Hello hello 👋 #IWD2023 is nearly here, and so are companies' cut-and-paste platitudes. And once again we're bringing you the data to see whose support for #InternationalWomensDay is genuine, and who's still got work to do.

Here's a reminder of how it works ⬇️ (1/8)

#TolkienReadingDay The Black Land in "Lord of the Rings" lends its name to the north pole region of my largest moon. #Charon's distinctive red-brown cap, called Mordor, is 475 km (295 mi) in diameter & resembles the shape of Sauron's realm.😃📖#Space https://t.co/Ie4JMiP2BJ

Fritz Zwicky is often credited for coining the term 'dark matter' but that's not quite true: the term had been in use for *decades* when he published his famous 1933 paper, and he was well aware of that. A #Thread on the early history of #darkmatter https://t.co/K1HT1e1SsL

I have been thinking about how different people interpret data differently. And made this xkcd style graphic to illustrate this.

Venetia's grandfather passed her name suggestion on to an astronomy professor friend of his, Herbert Hall Turner, who then sent a telegram to Lowell Observatory. It was perfect timing since everyone was consumed with the question of what to name the new planet.🤩#Pluto #Space

[The Pluto Diaries @Plutoliveshere]

#WhatsInAName #OTD 3-14-1930 Venetia Burney, an 11 yr old British girl who loved planets & books, suggests the name #Pluto for the new 9th planet. The name has it all: connections to mythology, dark undertones, & the initials of Percival Lowell. Perfect!😊https://t.co/Ie4JMiP2BJ

[The Pluto Diaries @Plutoliveshere]

Though Clyde Tombaugh discovered me 2-18-1930, the Lowell Observatory director, V.M. Slipher, decided to postpone announcing the discovery until #OTD 3-13-1930 so results could be verified. In this authentic memo ⬇️Slipher details the decision. Reminds me a bit of modern times😄

@PayGapApp @RoyalHolloway I’d rather see the plan for fixing that 22% gender pay gap!
