Great little museum in San Juan , Argentina. Visited on June 30th. Enjoyed a good hour there. Thanks to Steve Brusatte for the tip off.

Spectacular collision of suns will create new star in night sky in 2022

At the beginning of the 3rd century civil war raged in Britain as the Roman emperor Septimius Severus sought to quell unrest in the north.

Wow!! Seemingly a successful landing. Phenomenal achievement!! Well done ESA.
Tense wait for Rosetta's probe to attempt a landing.
Fingers crossed that "burned out Bertha" doesn't ruin tomorrow night's Perseids!
We have been both lucky and privileged - thanks Alan, well done the organisers!!
Alan is Project Manager for New Horizons to Pluto. Amazed that he can give the time to a small astro soc in the East Midlands.

Enjoying 40 degrees in Fethiye but sorry to miss the great coup by NNHS Astro on Monday with Alan Stern live on Monday.
And all the speakers of course!
Well done the Webb Society (Bob, Steve, Stewart and Owen) on putting on a great day at the IoA.
