@AndySaunders_1 OMG there’s stars! 🌟

Left - Apollo 17, 1972 Right - Artemis II, 2026 Two photographs taken by one of us, of all of us, over half a century apart. What's changed?

@NASA @NASAGoddard 🚀🌍🌒 APOLLO vs ARTEMIS stats: 🕦 APOLLO 11 took 8 DAYS in total, from launch to land. This included 21.6h stop on the surface. ⏰ ARTEMIS II takes 10 DAYS total, incl. 24h initial Earth orbit. Why is Artemis taking 2 days slower to travel there?

We see our home planet as a whole, lit up in spectacular blues and browns. A green aurora even lights up the atmosphere. That's us, together, watching as our astronauts make their journey to the Moon.

Good morning, world! 🌎 We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.

@latestinspace 🚀🌍🌒 APOLLO vs ARTEMIS stats: 🕦 APOLLO 11 took 8 DAYS in total, from launch to land. This included 21.6h stop on the surface. 478,000 miles, avg 3,412 mph. … ⏰ ARTEMIS II takes 10 DAYS total, incl. 24h initial Earth orbit. 500,000 miles, avg 2,450 mph.

Note: Comparison of actual TRAVEL TIME journeying to/from moon for each… APOLLO 11: 140 hours 🏎️ ARTEMIS 2: 204 hours 🚗

@Rod__Mason I wouldn’t get in that thing even if it were just a prop for a film set! 😮

Can you believe that this contraption landed men on the moon, back in 1969?

@EndWokeness Then it took another 57 years from the first moon landing to a 5,000 mile away fly round the moon…

It only took Americans 66 years to get from the first flight ever to the moon landing

@CollinRugg Why is this written like Gru’s pitch list for money? “And then I will sit on the toilet…”

NEW: NASA's Artemis II has successfully blasted off, launching toward the Moon for the first lunar voyage in 53 years. Here is what to expect next: - Mission is 10 total days. - The crew will get 5000 miles from the Moon's surface. - The crew will sleep in two four-hour periods. - On Day 2, Orion engines will accelerate the spacecraft to escape velocity and send them toward the Moon. - On Days 3-5, the crew will fine-tune the approach to the Moon. - Day 6 is when the crew flies by the Moon. They will be about 250,000 miles from the Earth. - Days 6-7, the crew will fine-tune their approach back to Earth. - On Day 10, the crew will put on their proper suits and get ready for reentry. - They will reenter Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 miles per hour. - Two parachutes will slow the capsule to 17 miles per hour. - They will splash down off the coast of San Diego, California.

@gmhales Are there any stats on the disproportionately of male vs female stop search? Would be interesting to compare across different protected characteristics.

A couple of things to say about the fall in stop and search disproportionality...

@Batfox_Pictures Rage For the Machine

Released in November 1992, “Killing in the Name” appears on Rage Against the Machine. Captured here at Pinkpop Festival in May 1993, the performance showcases the raw intensity that defined Rage Against the Machine’s early years.

@Thedrivenman F1 2020 Bahrain 🏎️ Romain Grosjean 🇫🇷 67g crash on first lap 🤯 Escaped with minor burns on hands 🙌🏼 🔥 He retired from F1 shortly after that. 🏁

Just when everyone believed he was gone, he did the unthinkable

@JayW132 At this rate in 2050 it’s going to cost £4. And will be the size of a lozenge.

A Mars Bar cost 28p in 2000. Today it's £1.05, and it's 18% smaller. Price up 275%. Size down 18%. Most people accept this as normal. It shouldn’t be.

I’ve never seen this before, it’s great.

@WorldAndScience Unfollowed. I thought this was a science account, not “The Science” account.

Which is the better climate bet: carbon capture or reforestation at scale?

@Brick_Cop @gmhales @ukhomeoffice Best wishes and thanks for keeping my timeline informed with down to earth police perspectives. What’s next for you?

And just like that, 12 years, 2 medals, a whole bunch of memories and wonderful friends later; I’m done. Policing you were my childhood dream. I’m so proud to have been one of you and do my small bit. You’ll always be part of me, but time to live and move on. #ThinBlueLine 🚨

@Johntheduncan How many will this affect?

This is a cruel, sick move pushed by cruel, sick people

@NadiaWhittomeMP How many trans girl guides will be excluded exactly?

It’s devastating that Girlguiding has announced plans to exclude existing trans girl guides from September. The Supreme Court ruling is being weaponised to bully previously inclusive organisations into abandoning members of their own community. The government must ensure that the statutory guidance enables organisations to be inclusive and protects them from expensive anti-trans lawfare.

@ONS How much has all this investment so far changed the global or U.K. temperature? How much has it increased or decreased rainfall or sunshine hours based on the settled science?

Using the headline industry approach, we estimate that there were 652,100 full-time equivalents (FTEs) employed in UK green jobs in 2024, an increase of 27.8% from 510,100 FTEs in 2015, the earliest year with comparable figures. Read more➡️ ons.gov.uk/economy/enviro…

@metoffice So no big deep blue graphic based on ‘deviation from average’ this time? Huh 🤔

Time to get the 'big coat' back out 🧥 Temperatures are dropping widely below average but in brisk northerly winds, it will be feeling closer to freezing for many of us 🥶

@forallcurious If they can do this for a molecule, where’s a clear picture of a virus?
