Aurora visible from Devon (on camera, not to the naked eye) for at least the last hour or so, mostly a red glow but occasional pillars #aurora

Don't forget to take your gas and lecky meter readings by the end of tomorrow and submit them to avoid paying a higher price on what you've already used before the price hike.

@JanHattenbach That’s a fantastic image Jan 😊

@KathyHa05461891 I’ve always had them with Worcester sauce. Possibly a bit of an acquired taste..

@IanDenton12 Thank you for your efforts @IanDenton12 , I’ve found these charts fascinating over the last few months. Am getting worried I haven’t seen one for a few days though 😊

@Dave_StarGeezer Damn Dave... just spent a short while wondering hat nebula that was... ;)

@bryantom61 @jburnmurdoch @MattHancock I believe it is being used but I suspect staff shortages aren’t helping :)

[James Mackay 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @MacAstronomer]

@bryantom61 @jburnmurdoch @MattHancock Exeter’s hospital is pretty packed at the mo with Covid cases and the Covid rates aren’t great in East Devon for example. But.. that doesn’t explain Dorset..

[James Mackay 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @MacAstronomer]

@JanHattenbach Fingers crossed that it doesn't get that bad Jan, hope you'll all be OK and that the fire can be brought under control..

@8WeekBloodSugar @DrMichaelMosley @theJeremyVine @BBCRadio2 For me it was reading 20 Diet Myths Busted by @zoeharcombe Never looked back, lost lots of weight. Finding out that carbs were the problem, not fat, was massive..

Another Comet Neowise pic :). Seems fainter than a week ago, but the ion tail is more obvious...

[James Mackay 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @MacAstronomer]

@JanHattenbach It is, even here in south west England. Bet you’re glad all that dust cleared away :)

[James Mackay 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @MacAstronomer]

@JanHattenbach Lovely photos Jan, I really like the first one widefield one 😊

[James Mackay 🇬🇧🇺🇦 @MacAstronomer]

A comet! Finally! After several false alarms so far this year with comets that just ended up fizzling out we've got a real one... Managed an image of Comet Neowise very low on the northern horizon. It was visible… https://t.co/z19BR4fpYt

@MacaesBruno I've no idea what, if anything the 'radicals' respect or otherwise. I just don't agree with your suggestion that he's only suggesting people keep away due to any lack of respect to Churchills achievement.. :)
