This is Ascension Island seen from the @Space_Station this weekend. At 408km from earth, when the ISS passes over it's three times closer than our nearest neighbours on St Helena (1200km away).
You know you're remote living when sometimes your nearest neighbours are in space!
@hmsprotector@STHELENANEWS1 Great to see Comfortless Cove and Hood's guns again. No change since my time in the '70's on the Island. Thanks for sharing!
This is a genuinely brilliant initiative. Citizen's Assemblies have worked elsewhere, this should be a great way to stimulate new ideas, and to involve people in the debate. @JessePerchard
The story we are sharing today will help show why our work with @loveheritage to protect and understand the site of La Cotte de St Brelade is so important. It will help us understand this very special population of Neanderthal people. Tune into @BBCRadio4 https://t.co/HdGnJ31Xpm

Teeth unearthed 100+ years ago on Jersey and thought to be pure neanderthal now found to have some Homo sapiens features
First evidence of breeding between neanderthals and modern humans found this far into western Europe https://t.co/7OsFUr7vgX
