Tonight Oor Big Braw Cosmos is visiting Skye, ane o the brawest places in the cosmos seall.co.uk/events/seall-l…

Oor Big Braw Cosmos just got a fab review by Journal of the Brit Astro Assoc

Should be a great event at GSC Sunday 6.30. Acc to Journal of BritAstroAssoc Review Oor Big Braw Cosmos is 'one of the most aesthetically and intellectually stimulating books our field has ever seen' while Dava Sobel (of Lpngitude) calls it truly 4 dimensional

Love all the pics./vids of Patrick's party. Will try to find time to help ID some folk for you. That evening I also did the black hole magic for Prof Carlos Frenk of Durham who called me several times wanting to know the secret. A fun night all round

Dear Dr Marc Esq
Is 'fun' a JR-M forbidden word, like Mr?I
Does 'everything' not by defn include 'fun'?
I commend to you the Teacher on Trial sketch in Pink Floyd 'The Wall' and John Cleese remarks re Chartres to Muggeridge & an archbishop on TV after the debut of Life of Brian

Space being 3-D makes parking easier. Though unless BoJo funds filling of pot-holes (as well as other promises from his money tree) the roads will soon be 3-D not 2

Hi Mark, Paul etc
1) VERY dodgy analogy. Cars aren't transparent
2) Spiral galaxy warps are common -astronomy.swin.edu.au/cosmos/W/Warps - also for warp causes. Dark matter NOT a candidate - too uniform in space
3) M31 warp clear in 1st ever photo (1900)

So Milky Way warp is no big deal

Also, while we're being annoyed by people hard binding your new theory of cosmology which argues against using maths will not make it more true. Nor will it make me more likely to read it.

It takes all sorts. Almost all readers enjoyed the selfie insight as a nice piece of fun, as intended.

Hi Chris. I can't see the point of Twitter when most content is trivial while Johnson is creating a cabinet advocating a return to Imperial units, God help us

Enjoy this and other nice insights in our book combining science poetry art and fun while sticking to fats and debunking the fashion for conspiracy nonsense

But meantime watch for this evening's partial eclipse of the moon

Read the Apollo story with different slants in Oor Big Braw Cosmos (Brown and Wilson) from Armstrong's Clan's cattle rustling history to his taking the first ever lunar selfie, and Roosa's Apollo 11 Moon Trees

Happy 50th Apollo XI launch.... only about 4.3 days till touch down's 50th
