NASA’s brand new telescope is about to do in one month, what would’ve taken the Hubble space telescope a century to do.

What’s scarier than a supermassive black hole? How about a supermassive black hole on the run! Ejected from the centre of its galaxy at over 3.5 million miles per hour and leaving a trail of newly formed stars in its wake? At least that’s what one research group of astrophysicists think is responsible for this faint line of light first seen in an image taken by the Hubble Space Telescope in 2022. When this happens, you’ve got two main questions to answer, 1) is it real? And 2) how far away is

I’m so excited to announce Cosmos, an exciting new space book for which I’m so proud to have written the foreword for! ✨ Cosmos is a tour through space, starting with the Sun and inner Solar System then moving through the outer planets and into the Milky Way and finally the realm of distant galaxies. With up to the minute images from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope, it’s the ultimate guide to all things in the Universe for any space enthusiast out there. This is the kind of book that inspired

Are you in love with it as I am? 😍 In this book I chart the scientific breakthroughs that have uncovered the world of black holes, from the collapse of massive stars to the first photographs of a black hole in 2019, along with debunking misconceptions along the way. The book explains why black holes aren't really
