Last night's #LunarEclipse from my balcony.

Using DSLR + Telescope.

Cursed clouds parted just enough to get a few nice shots in!

Now, I need EVERYONE to do whatever they have to do to ensure there are no clouds on 22 July 2028 - total solar eclipse over Australia!

There’s a total #LunarEclipse coming tomorrow evening and the east coast of Australia, NZ and the Pacific Islands are in a grand position for it!

Looks like we have a bit of cloud in Sydney but it may be patchy.

Best part of the show is between 10-11pm. Max eclipse at 10:33pm.

If you get a chance and the clouds clear, look up and the Moon will be blood red!

That's because all of Earth's sunrises and sunsets are projected onto the Moon at once.

The power of persistence and community unity! What a great win for #Astronomy American company (AES Andes) was planning on building an industrial facility in the Atacama desert. This would've produced light pollution affecting the pristine skies where some big telescopes are. Well .... no more! Amazingly, this company canned a $10B project and flipped from Green Hydrogen (whatever) to investing in renewables. That's whiplashing! #Astrodon https://www.mpe.mpg.de/8134359/news20260127

Excited to share my first #SpaceAustralia feature article for 2026 about an exciting and ambitious project that is unfolding 1km below the surface in regional Victoria. Last year, I had the incredible opportunity to visit the Stawell Underground Physics Laboratory (SUPL) with Dr Katie Mack and explore the ambitious efforts of the SABRE South experiment. Shielded from cosmic rays by a kilometre of rock, this lab offers the ideal conditions to search for the faint whispers of dark matter, which still accounts for 25% of all matter in the Universe—and yet remains completely undetected. Check out the article (and yes, check out our funky boots in the clean room!) and keep a lookout for exciting news of the detectors switching on later in 2026. https://www.spaceaustralia.com/feature/australias-dark-matter-quest 📸 F.

Excited to now share this story; papers have been accepted!

Apep is an awesome system, unlike any other we know about. It is named after the Egyptian God of Chaos - because, well, it is chaos!

Two Wolf-Rayet systems orbited by a third supergiant. As all their winds collide, they form these beautiful structures that have now been observed with #JWST and ESO's VLT.

I had a chat with fellow student from Macquarie Uni. Ryan White who has led one of the two papers that are released about this.

My latest for #SpaceAustralia

Well, here's some very exciting news!

I've been wanting to share this for a few months, but had to await the pre-print to drop.

A NEW GLITCH EVENT ON A MILLISECOND PULSAR HAS BEEN OBSERVED!

These events are extremely rare - only two others since MSPs were discovered.

Glitches are more commonly observed in the younger, canonical pulsar population as MSPs are much older and should have sorted out these types of disruptive events over their evolution.

That's what makes them so stable!

OR ... maybe they're not as stable as we once thought ...

This new paper predicts that we should see a glitch per MSP once every 400 years or so.

Glitches, profile changes .... as our instruments become more sensitive and datasets expand in time, we're starting to see that MSPs might not be as stable as we once thought ...

That's really important!
