Happy Halloween 🎃

I'm devastated to hear Sir Patrick Stewart has passed away.

I'm numb hearing this news. He was one of my hero's! A Star Trek and Marvel Legend and an amazing actor and person.

The world and Science Fiction will be at a loss without him.

Farewell Captain Picard.

California Redwood trees giant sequoias at Westonbirt Arboretum as seen at the start of my new show. Im actually looking at them for real and these are incredible

@slacka1967 There are still tickets. We stopped selling them when I found out I wasn't going to be able to do it. Yes, the show is on March 13, 2027, at Caird Hall, and there are tickets available. We will be pushing them again soon, so grab them when you can.

[VirtualAstro @VirtualAstro]

If you are on your way to my Dundee show this evening. Stop, turn around, and go home.

You should have been told by the venue that the show has been rescheduled to March 13, 2027. I am poorly at the moment and unable to do shows for the rest of this month. I've been unwell for a short while, nothing serious, but I can't do the Scotland shows this side of Christmas. They're just a little bit too much for me.

Your tickets are still valid for the new date, and if you are travelling now to the show, please turn around, go home, and be safe. See you then.

I just told Mrs Astro that I love her little quirks.

She turned around to me and said, My entire being is a quirk!

I don't know if that's an insult or a compliment???

[VirtualAstro @VirtualAstro]

ATTENTION, EVERYBODY IN AND NEAR DUNDEE.

The Night Sky Show was due to play at Caird Hall tomorrow evening. Unfortunately, I'm unwell and the show will now play on the 13th of March 2027, with Glasgow Royal Concert Hall the day after. Your tickets are still valid, so see you in March.

[VirtualAstro @VirtualAstro]

Unfortunately, the Night Sky Show at Caird Hall Dundee and Glasgow Royal Concert Hall next week and the week after have been rescheduled to the 13th and 14th of March 2027.
I hope the venues have already contacted you if you are a ticket holder. I'll see you in Scotland, then :)

I just rescued a toad in the road. It was going to get run over so I did my best lolly pop lady impression, picked him up and helped him on his way safely.

Here's my concern. Did picking him up and the oil/ acid in my skin injury him in any way. I heard years ago our skin is harmful to them? Old wives tail @Chrisgpackham ?

[VirtualAstro @VirtualAstro]

Just heard that Michael Palin has unfortunately had to cancel his tour.

I've heard he's fallen over in the bathroom and broken some ribs and fractured his pelvis. I really hope he recovers quickly, and we'll see him in the future.

Get well soon Michael.

"Wholesome"

God I love that word.

[VirtualAstro @VirtualAstro]

Currently getting my new website and the new shiny app built and ready.

As I do, I've just got to double-check with you guys to make sure I'm putting everything in there that you want.

Please let me know if you have any ideas or any likes or dislikes in an astronomy app or website, and I'll put them in or take them out.

@Lyren0613 Shush, I’m busy!

[VirtualAstro @VirtualAstro]

Sorry about that outburst earlier. I don't usually get political on social media, but we all have to share our thoughts occasionally. And many people agree.

Regardless, this social media feed and all its channels have been neglected as I've been really busy. But that is about to change, so hold on to your potatoes, Dr. Jones. It's going to get wild.

You're going to get so much content thrown at you guys. Keep following, get your friends to follow, and get their friends to follow also, because it's going to be awesome.
