I'm in the Sunday Times today with a story about searching for dark skies, sea air and desert sands in Morocco, and getting to know the disputed Western Sahara region. www.thetimes.com/travel/desti...

Today is the 60th anniversary of Star Trek! 🚀 Our upcoming issue of Nightscape celebrates Star Trek's 60th anniversary and is themed on how science fiction has influenced the dark sky movement and humanity's global interest in and appreciation of the cosmos.

My almost accidental iPhone shot of yesterday's diamond ring just as the eclipse reached totality. What a surreal day.

Totality. Near Frómista, Spain. Now, time for some local culture.

€5.50 for a...shall we say GENEROUS...copa of rosado in Madrid. I just hate Brexit and inflation and the bigots of Britain for fucking us over for access to longer stays in this wonderland.

How truly thrilling to walk into @waterstones.bsky.social flagship Piccadilly store and find my book displayed together with works by incredible writers like @calflyn.bsky.social, Olivia Laing and Michael Palin. Still living in a dream come true. 📚🌌💖

The Royal Astronomical Society awards dinner every year at the National Astronomy Meeting is a fun excuse to get into glad rags, and what a location this year in the Great Hall at the Univ of Birmingham.

I plucked this research out of nearly 800 conference abstracts and wrote the press release. The astronomer is a 1st-year PhD student. His headline has now been covered by media all over the world. Grateful to do this job! 🙏🙏🌌

It was great to finally meet @planet4589.bsky.social today after following each other on social media for years. And great to hear him this evening arguing to make the far side of the Moon a protected site of scientific interest preserved for telescopes & protected from commerical development.

My Google search history is always, let's say...unpredictable...but around this time of year, when I'm reading all the research abstracts for the National Astronomy Meeting to find potential news stories to curate for the press, the history bar gets really fun. 😂

The temptation is extremely strong right now to depart from my existing life & go spend several weeks at a Korean templestay. I am absolutely sick of my own mind at the moment. Maybe 108 prostrations a day would sort it out. (Yes I've done it before. Yes I'm currently writing about this experience)

Arrived home from Uzbekistan at 6:30pm (via Gatwick). Repacked for Western Sahara by 9pm. Will be back at Gatwick by 1pm tomorrow for my Morocco flight. For now, sitting outside cooling off in my chosen home city, thanking myself for choosing this amazing life.

With how much and often I do it, sometimes I can get a bit cavalier with my travel packing. Was quite glad to find I had, in fact, packed a decent first aid kit with eye drops bc the wind/dust/allergies in Yerevan have been hardcore today...

Last time I was at Sabia Gökçen airport it was 2018 and I'd taken the night train from Sofia to spend Christmas in Istanbul. It snowed and my flight to Göreme was delayed a day but so worth it for the magical snowy horse ride among fairy chimneys and hot air balloons. 🤩🐴 (Airport pic from tonight 😭)

Long shot, but I am looking to connect with a PR or DMO for Norway, specifically around a news article I'm writing for Outside Magazine about the Arctic Northern Lights Train. Please give me a shout if you know anyone! Thank you. (My pic of the aurora in Norway last year for good measure!)

Always a pleasure to spend time with @jonathancampion.com and today we tried Gulnar – excellent Uyghur and Central Asian noodles near Liverpool Street. Also, legit Himalayan-style salty butter milk tea. Always grateful for good company & good food! 🍜
