Want to help discover a black hole? Our scientists are calling on amateur astronomers to join the Black Hole Hunters project. No telescope needed - just a phone, tablet or laptop and your curiosity. 🔗 tr.ee/Pu83kY @spacesouthcentral.bsky.social @ukspaceagency.bsky.social @esa.int
A young woman with long brown hair smiles next to a large black telescope on a silver tripod. She is wearing blue jeans and a black T-shirt with the logo "University of Southampton" printed in white on the front left. A black hole against the Milky Way, shown as a dark circle surrounded by warped rings of starlight. Brown, gold and pink clouds of gas and dust and distant stars fill the background.

Another thing you need to know is that Simon Clarke supported Liz Truss's Tory leadership bid. That ushered her in as PM for 49 disastrous days. Clarke has the political judgement of a lettuce.
