This will never stop blowing my mind. A 12-year sequence of real telescope images of a star 133 lightyears away. And around it, four planets slowly orbiting. Four real exoplanets, each more massive than Jupiter, imaged as they move around their host star.

I'm a bit of an Apple fan outside of UK season is the Granny Smith (sharper the better !) But now we're in an odd apple season because of the high temps the 1st season of my favourite apple 🍎 Egremont Russet (my kids call it the potato apple😃) it's crisp, sweet and has a nutty taste. 😋

What does 40 years being on the Railway long service award and being with my wife for the same time mean ? I got £400 of gift cards and apparently I cashed them in ! She did ! She's also been on that 40 year journey with me ♥️♥️😍

Spent its last 12 months as an engineers loco I believe for the ECML electrification work. Had no further use for her so she was switched off for the last time in working order as far as I know. Built as D42 she lasted just short of 26 years, good going for a Peak
