Many thanks @ITVCharlieP for giving @NLOastronomy a plug during @NatAstroWeek itv.com/watch/news/ste…

C/2032 A3 photographed through cloud and rain gaps this evening (12-Oct).

Today's M Class flare at 11.40h caught on our NLO VLF solar flare detector, seen as the big red shark fin!

Direct Hit! We have an Earth-directed #solarstorm plus two side-swiping solar storms that could bring #aurora to mid-latitudes starting September 2. NOAA/SWPC prediction shows peak impact September 3. The latest storm launch (just now) includes an S1-level #RadiationStorm too.

Comet 2022 E3 (ZTF) this evening taken with a Samyang 135mm lens. 12 x 60s.

If you have security cam/dashcam footage, or saw the fireball, do submit a report via @UKMeteorNetwork at: ukmon.imo.net/members/imo/re… Eyewitness info can be really useful for building a picture of the event, and can help teams like @UK_Fireball do their work.

Sounds like a really nice meteor fireball was seen quite widely over the UK at around 20:01UT. Here’s the first public video I’ve seen of it (below). Quick scan of @UKMeteorNetwork’s excellent live fireball webpage shows it was also picked up by their network cameras too.

☄️Heads up astronomers/meteor enthusiasts☄️ On Friday there will be a @RoyalAstroSoc meeting on the latest advances in meteor science in the UK. Lots being covered, including meteorite recovery, #citizenscience with @UKMeteorNetwork & fireball modelling: ras.ac.uk/sites/default/…

@Spicey_Spiney Welcome back !!

I'm back!!!!!!!!!! After 3 months of being blocked due to my Perseid meteor video being flagged as intimate media, I wasn't able to get my account back unless I admitted to breaking the rule. Huge thanks to the BBC & to everybody who has been tagging support for me :-)

@MartinSLewis Tea is evening meal. At school up north we had dinner ladies at dinner time, they were never called lunch ladies were they? #northisbest

I grew up calling the evening meal tea - I now since I moved darn sarf from Uni time - have to refer to it as dinner or my family wouldn't understand me.

badda boom - this evening's fireball meteor as seen from Oxfordshire @UKMeteorNetwork @popastro

@VisualGPS Hi, have sent you an email :-)

@davy999 Send an email to me and I'll send the key!

@VisualGPS I had a PC failure and am reinstalling nmeatime2 but cannot find my old license key, can you help?

Four years ago, a ten year old girl asked her Mum, “Why isn’t there a statue of Mary Anning?” So many people got behind the vision, supporting @MaryAnningRocks - and thanks to you all - she’s now striding out at Lyme Regis! bbc.com/news/uk-englan…

Hey Twitter! I've just donated to the @decappeal DEC Ukraine Humanitarian Appeal to help provide aid to people fleeing the conflict. Can you help? bit.ly/3tnSOBo

To the person who stole my trainers and hi-viz jacket... You can run, but you can't hide.
