I don't like the look of that, I've got a load of jobs to do I've been putting off until the next time the planets align.

As in, the planets are in an actual line.

Is that Mars that's just above the southern horizon, right now?

That new telescope thingy they put into space looks like a prop from a 1970s sc-fi show, happy

I just love the hexagonal segmented mirror. They use software of course to compensate for the fact that it isn't a perfect concave curve.

Blasts of flashing radio waves coming from mysterious nearby object in space.

Scientists have spotted a “mysterious” object letting out giant blasts of energy, three times an hour.

Whatever the object is – which is relatively nearby, at 4,000 lightyears away – it is nothing like astronomers have ever seen before.

“This object was appearing and disappearing over a few hours during our observations,” said Natasha Hurley-Walker, from the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, who led the research

“That was completely unexpected. It was kind of spooky for an astronomer because there’s nothing known in the sky that does that.

Just sounds like a pulsar to me. Though I'm sure Natasha Hurley-Walker knows what she's talking about.

I don't know what it is but it sounds scary...

Looking forward to seeing some pretty pictures from the James Webb telescope, maybe even some risqué pictures.

Photos from the James Webb telescope are going to be published today. Excited

Above the dawn that I was admiring earlier was a bright planet - Venus, in its 'morning star' role.

She can't be Sirius.

Or just not that bright.
