Lights off, eyes up 🌍✨
This Earth Hour, switch off your non-essential lights for one hour and give the night sky a chance to shine.
On March 28, from 8:30 PM to 9:30 PM local time, people around the world will take part in this symbolic moment for the planet.
Earth Hour is more than just turning lights off — it’s a reminder to be more mindful of how we use energy and how even small actions can help protect our world. And for skywatchers, it’s also a perfect time to step outside, look up, and enjoy a darker, starrier sky.
Tonight, let’s celebrate our planet by dimming the lights and reconnecting with the universe above us. 💙🌌

I don't tend to post much on X these days, but I thought I would let my UK followers know that I have a new TV offering: a 2-part Horizon special on BBC2 going out on 29th Sep and 6th October. It is called Secrets of the Brain. See bbc.co.uk/programmes/m002k78…

🌕✨ All You Need to Know: Total Lunar Eclipse (Blood Moon) — Sept 7–8, 2025
What: Earth’s shadow will turn the Moon a deep red — a classic Blood Moon.
When: Night of Sept 7–8. Totality lasts ~17:30–18:52 GMT, with partial/penumbral phases before and after.
Where: Visible from most of the world — Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia, parts of the Americas, plus the Pacific/Atlantic/Indian Oceans.
Moon’s spot: In Aquarius.
How to watch (no special gear needed):
● Look soon after moonrise in your area and follow it through the night.
● Pick a spot with a clear horizon and dark skies.
● Binoculars or a small telescope show color and shading beautifully.
● It’s 100% safe to look at a lunar eclipse with the naked eye.

🚀✨ Yes, the Apollo astronauts walked on the Moon… but they also hopped, bounded, shuffled — and, yep — fell. A lot. 😅🌕
In low gravity, even the best-trained astronauts had their balance tested. For the engineers who designed the suits, these wipeouts were nerve-wracking. For the rest of us, they’re just a reminder that even heroes have clumsy moments.
So if you need a laugh today, enjoy this hilarious supercut of Moon tumbles — brought to you by history, science, and 1/6th Earth gravity.

I’m very proud to announce my new series #Scandinavia
will start on @BBCTwo on 18th May … and on @BBCiPlayer of course.
It’s Sweden, Denmark, Norway, and what I’m calling ‘the wider Nordic family’ — Finland and Iceland as well.
From Svalbard in the very far north down to southern Denmark… 3 huge journeys.
Thanks to the wonderful team inc @TheGardenTV who made it possible, and the brilliant Scandis we met along the way.

Today is the #SummerSolstice in the Northern Hemisphere! ☀️
It marks the official start to summer and the longest day of the year. Why? Our planet rotates on a tilted axis as it goes around the Sun, which changes how long a ‘day’ is. go.nasa.gov/3RD64zf
