Noctilucent Clouds looking north at 1230am, 24 June 2024 from South UK Coast, Bournemouth. Dust and ice crystals reflect the sunlight from circa 85 km high ~ long after the sun has set; #noctilucent @_SpaceWeather_ @SunWeatherMan @spaceweather @SpaceWxMonitor @bbcweather

To the north, south, east and west of Bournemouth. Stunning #Auroraborealis @aurorawatchuk

@derekpitman @hengistburyvc ....exciting possibilities for virtual interpretation at H Head

... A seriously good-looking cloud on the South Coast, Bournemouth, circa 5pm. #weather #clouds @bbcweather @BBCWthrWatchers

Amazing to use the Lunar occultation of Venus as a way to see Venus with the naked eye at approx 1040am here in UK. Yay I saw it! - as it reappeared to the right lower limb of the moon.

@phollaholla Me!

So #afcb fans, who do you have in mind to replace Lerma?

@ParksFndtn @gotbeaf_ Have fun - beehive yourselves!

We’re excited to be at @gotbeaf_ festival today 😀 Pop along and say hello to Anna and Daniel at our stand and make a bee home 🐝🌸

@mirandajscanlon Wonderful achievement....lots of hope and encouragement for anyone facing a transplant - well done!

Today is my 17 year #kidneyversary. I’m thankful beyond words to my sister for the gift of a kidney and for giving me all these years living a normal healthy life, especially being a mother to my two amazing daughters, and Nana to an energetic dog!

@mirandajscanlon @SamiraBell76 @Kidney_Research Congratulations!

A key output from the new UK Renal Health Data Research Network - making kidney datasets discoverable. Thanks to my co-chairs @SamiraBell76 #NigelBrunskill and @Kidney_Research

@AiGigachad Yes please DM it to me. 😊

@Spicey_Spiney @BBCWthrWatchers Thanks Mary! I've attended a couple of your talks so I thought you would know.

@itsformark @BBCWthrWatchers This is a fragment of a rainbow with some anticrepuscular rays shining through making it look like spokes from a wheel; anticrepuscular rays converge at the antisolar point. Our ancestors had a good understanding of atmospheric phenomena. Even Copernicus wrote about it!

An outstanding atmospheric phenomena (Hengistbury Head in Dorset) 24th Feb at 1630. A halo-refraction type of event (sun setting behind me to west & crepuscular rays). I wonder what our Stone Age Ancestors on Hengistbury would have made of this? @Spicey_Spiney @BBCWthrWatchers

Another stunning conjunction this evening of the planet Jupiter, a crescent Moon and Venus (lower right). Viewed to SW from Bournemouth. #astronomy @AstronomyNow #JupiterandVenus

Tonight at dusk - Poole Bay. New Moon with reflected light 'earthshine' illuminating the unlit portion of the Moon; plus Venus of course!

Winter Solstice; sunset 4.04pm on Cranborne Chase, Dorset. Yay! - the days are getting longer #Solstice

@DrKathWalker @CoriniumMuseum Wow!

Great fun spending my lunchbreak as a #Roman #gladiator today @CoriniumMuseum.

@GaryLineker Shocking....absolutely shocking!

Awful.
