There are two baby stars surrounded by the right ingredients for a dirty martini!

New Space Cocktail - a pretty blue drink for two pretty blue worlds that have suddenly got a much busier neighbourhood!

A space-themed cocktail about the discovery of the brightest object in the universe - quasar J0529-4351

We have finally got an image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way!

On December 21 Jupiter and Saturn will be just 0.1 degrees apart in the sky and will appear as a single object. This is The Great Conjunction. To mark the occasion, I've prepared a special cocktail & mocktail!

On September 14, 2020, Astronomers announced the discovery of phosphine in the atmosphere of Venus. This substance is considered a biosignature, so there's a lot of exciting speculation on what might be creating it!

I participated in the Global Science Show this month and shared my favourite story of the year so far: the merger of GW 190521!

Escape the Earthly turmoil, with some celestial news of the week for #ScienceFromHome. This week has everything! Icy satellites, black holes, mythological unfaithful husbands... There're sweary bloopers too! (sorry, it's been a week!)

Welcome to another Science From Home and this week we talk about galaxy OJ 287 and the intricate dance its two supermassive black holes perform.

Welcome back to another week in Astronomy for #ScienceFromHome. My favourite stories this week are about A Planet That Never Existed & Musical Black Holes. In 2008, researchers detected the light of a planet around the nearby Fomalhaut star, only 25 light years away.

This is my most creative #ScienceFromHome yet. Enjoy "Dance of the Exoplanets", my musical episode about 6 exoplanets moving in harmony! (Don't worry, I don't sing! 🤣 )

Today we focus on the planetary conjunction between Venus and the Pleiades, as well as the likely discovery of an intermediate-mass black hole (the most elusive type) mid-snacking on a star!
