Yeh hoping the sky stays clear and it’s visible tonight. And I’m sober enough to remember.
University of Lancaster has a website. Aurora watch UK or something.
Saw one (meteor fall) tonight while on an evening walk...resembled the one above in Portugal but didn't last as long or was as bright as the videos above. Reported to the geeks over at the International Meteor Organization. Someone will be metal detecting by the weekend I imagine.
Rocks, innit.

A new planet which could potentially support human life discovered 
They state that it would take 300,000 years to get there which is a bit of a drawback given you would be long dead before you arrived

New planet that could support human life discovered 'close' to Earth by UK scientists
The planet, called Gliese 12b, is around the same size as Venus and will help scientists understand more about other Earth-like planets in outer space.

I went to a course run by Keele Uni about 15 yrs ago on the subject of exoplanets (amongst other stuff). If you think some of the footy nerds here are ace, those lot are another breed entirely. Genuinely inspiring such is the depth of knowledge they had for all things space.A new planet which could potentially support human life discovered

I asked the obvious halfwit question 'when will life outside of our solar system be confirmed?' the answer was very explicit... "If we haven't found it in the next 50 years, it doesn't exist" (or wtte) they are/were building their hopes on detecting ozone in the atmosphere of exoplanets as a basis for confirming life...
...or something similar
Big ol' spaceship about to do its thing.
Hope it fairs better than their ropey planes...
Finally, after 3 attempts, Starliner is away on its first crew carrying mission.
Fantastic stuff.
Fantastic stuff.
Florida to Newfoundland in 8 mins - rapido.
how long is the test flight? not been keeping up with this at all.
It's a bit of a misnomer as its heading to the ISS mate, so I'm guessing the 'test' concludes on its return.
Decent show that will make sceptics feel justified:
Great video, thanks for sharing. I was initially slightly put off by the seemingly click baity description with the capitalised "THEY". But it was a really interesting watch.
