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.

NO!

America does not own the Moon nor will they ever do so.

There are international treaties such as The Outer Space Treaty (1967) and The Moon Agreement (1979)
The Moon Agreement explicitly states that the Moon and its resources are the "common heritage of mankind". aking a declaration no longer gives you rights to any territory.

I shall leave you with one of Donald Trump's more serious social media posts...

Anyone remotely agreeing will be ignored and if annoying, blocked. This nonsense need to end. Get voting USA

I say this in my show and I will say it you you now.

Do not look directly at the sun with your naked eyes, telescope or anything like that. Even at maximum eclipse at over 90% Moon coverage, the sun will still damage your eyes. Permanently!

Camera chips can also get damaged if Always wear eclipse glasses and use proper solar filters on equipment

NEVER LOOK DIRE`CTLY AT THE SUN! EVE DURING THE ECLIPSE

Eclipse in 2 days. One rule matters more than all the rest:
Never look at the Sun. Not once. Not through sunglasses.
Even 90% covered, what’s left will damage your eyes.
Safe: ISO 12312-2 glasses, or a pinhole projector. #eclipse2026

That streak of light is a piece of a comet.
Mostly grit — smaller than a peanut. But it hits the air at 59 km a second, and that’s enough to make it glow white hot 100km above your garden.
Something older than our species, ending in a flash above your head. #meteorwatch

How to watch a meteor shower, complete guide:
1.Lie down. Don’t stand — you’ll last 15 minutes.

2.Wrap up warmer than you think.

3.Look UP. Any direction. It doesn’t matter.

4.Phone away. Screen light kills night vision.

5.Give it an hour.

You don’t have to wait for the 12th.
The Perseids are already running. Clear sky this weekend? Go out for an hour after dark.
Fewer meteors than peak night — but no crowds, no pressure, and it’s good practice. #meteorwatch

The most common thing people say to me about meteor showers:
“I haven’t got a telescope.”
Good. Don’t use one. It narrows your view to a keyhole.
Your eyes take in half the sky at once. That is exactly the right tool. #meteorwatch

One week today, something rather special happens.
On 12 August the Moon passes in front of the Sun and gives the UK its deepest eclipse since 1999.
Then that same Moon leaves the sky completely dark — right as the Perseids peak.
Same Moon. Two shows. One day. #meteorwatch

We were at The Cure Concert in Cardiff last night and I'm not surprised to hear it was the warmest night on record for June, in Bute Park.

The Cure were epic! A brilliant evening.

There were loads of people fainting and flaking out in the heat. I hope it didn't ruin it for them well.

If you look closely you can see me in the audience.
