@mathewjowens Just after midnight.

@a_d_e When was that on?

Still some very fast solar wind at Earth, but magnetic fields remain relatively week. I'm heading to bed folks. Have fun.

Today I begin my epic #traintoAGU journey across Canada and the US! I'll be stopping along the way to talk about mine and @jim_wild's research into space weather impacts on railway signalling, with the trip ending at the 2023 @theAGU Fall Meeting in San Francisco. #AGU23

@stpkav I was taken here last time I was in Leicester: Spice Bazzar 0116 270 5110 goo.gl/maps/KyjR1d76o… Apparently one of the best in town (I was happy!)

@mathewjowens Me too, although the probably-getting-too-big-for-this child that was on my back holding on to my neck might have something to do with it…

Ah. I appear to be "my neck and back hurt from looking up at fireworks" years old.

@stpkav @jim_wild What a fortunate coincidence!

@jim_wild Even cheaper option on Amazon: amzn.eu/d/fSVu6QW

Hit the sub £15 nineties indie nostalgia eBay motherlode. Bottle of Hooch anyone?

I asked the new Bing to tell me about Joule heating in the style of Trump

The 2022 Lunar #Occultation of #Mars! This is a crop of a wider image, and shows the red planet on it's descent behind the eastern lunar limb captured last night from home. Sinus Gomer is central with Syrtis Major at top. See thread for processing. What an event!#astrophotography

@HildebrandTech there’s something wrong with the cost data in the Bright app. Day rate seems to be getting doubled. Night rate timing is off by an hour. Time zone and rate info look correct. Any ideas?

@stpkav That’s an impressive collection of typos in such a small number of words!

@jonny_nichols @SLSingh I’m 99.999…% certain that it is.

#Maths Twitter: 11yo daughter just stumped me. Is 0.999.. recurring = 1? Not obviously, but the difference between the two numbers is 1/∞ = 0. So are they the same or not? @SLSingh any idea?

Two lectureship positions in astrophysics at Lancaster are now being advertised. One with a focus on gravitational wave/multi-messenger astrophysics hr-jobs.lancs.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx?r…

@jonny_nichols @stpkav It crossed my mind. I have no recollection but then I probably wouldn’t I suppose…

@stpkav Sorry I missed you, Kav! Who got you kicked out of the pub? Was it @a_d_e ?

@jim_wild @LancasterUni Thought I spotted you in the distance this morning… #itsgrimupnorth

Morning estuary run. Bonus points for spotting @LancasterUni tucked into the background.

@jps_astro Probably about time you found a better pizza place 😆

@vaxsupport the drive belt on our Vax carpet cleaner is broken and we’re struggling to find a repairer in the north west. Can you advise?

@BarclaysUKHelp you recently emailed me to tell me that you’d sent me a letter telling me that you’re having difficulty contacting me. I received both the email and the letter. Neither mentioned what the difficulties were. 40 min wait on the phone. Can you advise?
