Aurora Zoo and the Southampton @planeterrella will be at the @sciencemuseum this Saturday 25/05, Tuesday 28/05 and Wednesday 29/05! Come and chat to us in the Information Age gallery, and do some real aurora research - everybody welcome
Excitingly, the museum is celebrating the return of #Soyuz and the 50 years of the Moon landing with Summer of Space, a summer-long packed programme of events, family festivals and more: bit.ly/2HLymTd

Showing our @planeterrella auroral display to Red Arrows squadron leader and swapping stories of his views of the #aurora from flights. It looks very different through night vision googles! Come to @unisouthampton stand to learn more! @planeterrella #FuturesDay18 #FIA18

After a spectacular flying display, Red Arrow pilot took time to visit our @unisouthampton stand #FIA2018 and discuss the physics of the #aurora and our @planeterrella

On the way to Farnborough for #FIA18 to showcase the @AstroPhysSoton @planeterrella. Come to @unisouthampton stand 3492 in Hall B to learn more about our auroral physics work as well as wider Space Science and Astronautics expertise

It is the nucleus of a comet, rotating underneath a spacecraft that is taking pictures. Except for the part in the brilliant flash at upper left at beginning, we are looking at the night side of the nucleus, lit only by sunlight that has reflected first off of coma particles. xitter.cf/dylanlscott/status/988…

Having legacy or sharing plans should be valued but is not the same as being able to continue resource-intensive delivery.

Funders: Stop telling applicants that outcomes need to be "sustainable", this undermines the value of the skilled work needed for delivery of most engagement activities.

Welcome to @RAS_Women! A new account set up by @RoyalAstroSoc in order to celebrate women at the RAS and #WomenInSTEM. We will be tweeting one woman in STEM a day with the hashtag #STEMlegends find out more at women.ras.ac.uk.

Hey peeps, give @futuremartianUK a follow and tell any teachers you know to get involved! I'll be running the twitter along with @Space_Bacon #STEM #space

Destroy the idea that scientists can't show off their work AND themselves. #SciComm helps them disseminate information, and having followers who like you for you AND your work plays a huge role. Social media helps people engage with science AND scientists. That's the point.
