Around 40 million years ago a star (supernova 2026aaiv) exploded in the galaxy NGC 7331. Last Friday I managed to image it from my back garden! 2nd image shows it absent in July. #astrophotography #astronomy #supernova

NEW from me: China's CO2 emissions fell by 1% in the second quarter of 2026, as oil consumption plummeted amid the Strait of Hormuz crisis, with EVs and public transport among the key factors. Oil consumption fell by 9% overall and by 16% for transport. 🧵

It was on a tour of a substation with James that I decided I wanted to write this book. He is a model of the engineer as steward! A hero out there keeping the lights on everyday. Here is how I opened the acknowledgements

A 14th century “bestiary” I was shown at the Bodleian Library in Oxford. A cultural wellspring that continues to flow into our language and imagination - ever been “licked into shape”: see the bear

This exhibition in London (National Gallery / Nov 26 - April 27) is without a doubt one the most important events in years: all known portrait paintings by Jan van Eyck will feature in one exhibition!

The football was 4x as good? A goal 4x better than Maradona’s Goal of the Century was scored? 4x the drama? Shows the divergent thinking here…

On a peaceful evening in Provence we stumbled across a funeral monument dating back to 30-20 BC…. …and a Triumphal Arch dating to 20 AD, illustrating Caesar's conquest of the Gauls. Glanum - Saint-Rémy-de-Provence, France

The church of Wiggenhall St Germans is one of my favourite anywhere. There's nothing grand, smart or fancy about it — just layers and layers of history, displayed with unselfconscious affection — a living, working church as well as a place of immense history and holiness

The lost Saxon church at Bradford on Avon, Wiltshire. The question of whether to use hyphens (or not) in the town’s name remains a popular enthusiasm within local Facebook groups, a has been the case since 1783
