Japanese engineers developed a “Sword Tip Visualization System” for the Fencing World Championships, and it makes fencing look absolutely incredible to watch.

Looking forward to this one. John’s books are real page turners. I’ll see what my grandparents went through in Croydon. I did hear some stories, it sounded horrific.

RT for chance to win a signed copy of BLITZ - out in May.
For too long ‘The Blitz’ has been framed as a few desperate months in 1940/41 mainly affecting London. But attacks were far more widespread, far more devastating, & for most of the war.
The BLITZ story is now told afresh:

Love a good arch. So visually appealing and ruthlessly functional at the same time. The compound curve on the face of this tunnel is also very nice!

Meet “Roadrunner,” a new 15kg (33 lb) bipedal wheeled robot prototype featuring multi-modal locomotion: side-by-side and inline wheel modes and and stepping. Its symmetric legs articulate at the knee for obstacle avoidance.

Some decent aurora from #Ellesmere in Shropshire tonight. I saw more than I photographed and didn't catch the real peak.

I've photographed an ISS transit of the moon before, mainly for the love of the challenge, but this is next level...

I’m proud of this one.
I brought a solar telescope to Florida to capture a Falcon 9 rocket launch transiting the sun. While these have been captured before, never with the details of the sun’s chromosphere, which makes this one the first!

My two fave pics from @airtattoo 25. Getting up close and personal with live and current fighter jets is quite an experience. Seeing some rare and frankly weird looking aircraft is also very cool. To do it with my son on a day we stayed mainly dry was the cherry on top. #RIAT25

Is there anything more frustrating than a broken unsubscribe link? It immediately makes me think 'conspiracy' followed by rubbish company management and dreadful customer focus. I've had 2 in the last 2 days and whilst I can make a rule to delete any emails it's not right.
