A short moon-filled night, but still able to pursue my fascination with car-crash galaxies: here is NGC 5394/5395. Such spectacular collisions are rare in a galaxy’s life, which is why the examples we can see tend to be quite distant: this pair are 180 million light years away. 🔭🧪

Right up there on a hill in North Bedfordshire is a tall church with a steeple, way above the farmland and hedges that surround it. A little dot in the big blue sky today

The shape is thought to be the result of leftover fuel released into space as the Falcon 9 rocket returned to Earth.

At a time when the rule of law is under global attack, those electronic books people have made the Sunday Times bestseller #FakeLaw a Kindle Monthly Deal, a stonking 99p.

Those in power misrepresent the law to advance their own agendas.

Don’t let them lie to you.
