Astronomy news for spooky season: a zombie planet orbiting a dead (but still hostile) star. Evidence suggests the following: Star dies, expels outer layers, becomes white dwarf. Gas giant forms from the debris. White dwarf is now blasting planet with radiation, shearing off some of its atmosphere.

Suspected Second-generation Planet Solves NASA Hubble Cold Case - NASA Science

New analysis of archival Hubble data points to the possibility of "dead" white dwarf stars hosting second-generation planetary systems.

Agreed. We had about half an hour in hot weather this summer as the queue seemed to move very slowly, so didn't help feeling underwhelmed. Been quite fun the past couple of years taking each of mine on finishing their A-Levels.

The hold moment at the top is superb in that no matter how many times you've done it, the rush still kicks in. Nemesis always been fab, however don't get sucked in by Nemesis sub-Terra. It's not very good.. .

Either the joke is that the gif never loads or unfortunately your polite reply just isn't coming up for me. Thought it was service in the stadium at first but still no dice. Was looking forward to seeing your riposte too 😂

I've remembered I've got a 1:7 scale unfolding copy of the tapestry from visiting Bayeux almost 40 years ago. Thinking I could unfold it outside and charge a fiver a view for anyone wanting to avoid the queue #entrepreneur

Predicted he wouldn't get driver of the day when it should clearly have been him. Glad he refused to accept the early order to box without a challenge (and amazingly that Ferrari let him given their past form)

I always remember that set as I was revising for my finals sat on a beanbag in my flatmate's room. The Sasha set that preceded it was also a banger, and he'd flown in straight from playing Twilo in NYC

That was such a bizarre decision. He's talented and young, so they turf him out after just one season & in which he went off the boil while playing in an underperforming team.

It's a somewhat dubious Porsche diving around but the background scenes seem believable. Would be annoying if fake!

Churchill specifically wanted ‘corkscrew’ thinkers. He believed that the Germans were too conventional, conservative. Too ‘straight’ Geoffrey Pyke. Prolific inventor. Very beardy and weird Turing. Code breaker. Gay. Dudley Clarke. Invented SAS. Bonkers. Cross dresser

Good news to end the week as one of Mrs H77's best friends has seemingly had the best outcome the surgeon could've hoped for from liver cancer surgery. The prognosis beforehand has been pretty bleak, this gives a fighting chance. A glass of something suitable will be raised tonight in celebration

Thanks, interesting thoughts as Tom P said. We've got what's probably an unusual client bank in this regard given their commitment to RI, but boy is MAG7 a bane right now.

Yes, that feels instinctively right as I'm sure some players had surprisingly short stints at the club

Simon H @simonh77.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

I read something maybe a year or two ago which suggested the possible benefit of good but not absolute elite players getting the opportunity to train and learn from the latter, elevating them beyond where they might've got elsewhere. And only being able to do so because of the cooked books

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.

The Stanley Building by Kings Cross might fit the bill. I've used it once, smart and clean. Mine was a room for 4 for an hour, £70+vat booked at short notice. Not sure if they've smaller rooms or if that's out of budget, only one I know of though

Yep we've got TRVs, thermostat tbc though would expect we'll keep it where it is now which is effectively at the heart likewise.
