A dream came true today. Asteroid 446500 now bears my name. I am absolutely thrilled! 💙🔭 #jpl #asteroid #space #NASA #happy

A few weeks ago I was in conversation with Robin Rees about #astronomy & cats! Robin sent me 3 books written by @DrBrianMay @deicherstar & Brian's PhD thesis! The two small packages are from Brian's @londonstereo Company which include astronomy themed stereoscopic cards. Thank U!

I am writing a short article about the pronunciation of Edmond Halley's surname. Was it Halley, Hailey or Hawley? I would like to find out how you pronounce it. Please use my poll below! #writing #halley #comet #pronunciation #astronomy

@DrJeniMillard I am currently going through a divorce and despite friends and family support, it can be a very lonely experience. An absolute rollercoaster of emotions and an exhausting process. But it was the best decision and I am in a great place in life that I never thought I would be!

[Dani Robertson @DaniDarkSkies]

Kids are absolutely hilarious.

Me (to group of kids): ‘Can anyone see the Man in the Moon?’

Kid (6yo): ‘See him? I know him. Lives in Penygroes. Nice boy.’

So there you have it. The Man in the Moon apparently has relocated to Penygroes 😂🌝🌙
