@Worthington_Me Form the pics and reports I’ve seen it seems to have been vandalism 😭

@DanielMonk91 I'm hoping against hope there was a reason not just sheer wanton vandalism - have you heard anything?

Woke up to the sad news this morning that the iconic sycamore gap has been felled overnight. Living just 5 minutes down the road, it has been a place of solace for me on dark starry nights. It was a symbol that represented the unrivalled history and beauty of Northumberland.

The Blue Supermoon rising over Bamburgh Castle in Northumberland this evening! 😍

Check out these shooting stars I caught on camera this weekend @kielder_obs

The Strawberry Moon rising over Dunstanburgh Castle last night! 😍

The milkyway core rising @kielder_obs 😍

@RoyTroothe It’s an airplane heading towards the camera which makes it looks like it’s not moving much and then it turns. It’s also a timelapse, so everything is sped up.

@DanielMonk91 Great clip. What would this be?…….(20 secs)

@DanielMonk91 @BBCLN @bbcweather @BBCJustinR @BBCNews @BBCScienceNews Did you see any fighter jets trying to shoot it down?

At around 3am this morning there was a newly discovered 1-meter asteroid expected to hit Earth’s atmosphere over northern France! I just had to try and get a shot of it.. and here it is from Northumberland, UK 🤯 @BBCLN @bbcweather @BBCJustinR @BBCNews @BBCScienceNews

A moonlit sky at Hadrian's Wall last night 😍

@DanielMonk91 @kielder_obs Thank you! What time was it filmed?

WOW! An amazing display of the northern lights captured at the observatory last night! 😍

@StoryfulNews @kielder_obs Hi, it was me that took the timelapse. That’s totally fine to use. Credit - Dan Monk, Kielder Observatory

@kielder_obs @DanielMonk91 Hi, I'm a journalist with Storyful news agency. Can you please confirm who recorded this amazing footage? And, may it be used with credit to that person as owner, as per the agreement on storyful.com/clearance? Thanks!

The Northern Lights captured last night @kielder_obs in Northumberland!

@katie_baggott @kielder_obs Possibly, there is a chance, but it's looking cloudy right now :(

@DanielMonk91 @kielder_obs Amazing! Do you know if its going to be the same tonight Dan? We're thinking of driving up thats all ☺

The northern lights and a meteor in one shot! @kielder_obs Last night we got a brief glimpse of the aurora when a very obvious spike appeared to grow from the horizon. I set my camera up ASAP and was incredibly lucky to catch a green perseid meteor at the same time! 😍🤯

Double rainbow @kielder_obs @metoffice @bbcweather
