  3. Giving a talk tonight for my #astronomical society

    How many #astronomers do you know who are cool enough to rock #tattoos, 12 #piercings and a leather suit?

    Shirt by RSVLTS - #Disney Fantasia "Night on Bald Mountain" 75th anniversary

    For more information about the society visit msas.org.uk

    The full talk will be broadcast on nomenloony.tv very soon.

    My degree is in astrophysics by the way. Yes. I'm that nerd

    "This is a photo of Bernie sitting up and using a wheelchair yesterday. Today he is being discharged from the Rehabilitation hospital in Portland and he is moving into an assisted living center in Kennebunk. He enjoys having visitors as he continues his recovery process.

    "He is very grateful to everyone of you who have donated to help him offset some of the medical expenses he has already incurred, and the towards the monthly cost of the assisted living facility."

  5. Dear @starrytimepod , could you spread the word about one of my favorite teachers, #BernieReim? He was in a bad car accident and needs help paying for rehabilitation. The #Maine #Stargazing community adores Bernie and wishes him a speedy recovery! TY!

  9. Not only does #QueensUniversity have an asteroid named in honour of the university, but now that asteroid has been observed to host a small orbiting companion!

    Nice way to start the day, learning about both of these things.
