Sen’s 24/7 4K livestream features in Emergence, @ProfBrianCox’s new world tour - and we’re proud to have Brian as our brand ambassador. 🌎
Exploring 13.8 billion years of cosmic evolution, Emergence takes audiences on a journey from the smallest building blocks of nature to the vast structures of the cosmos - with spectacular visuals, music and lighting bringing the story to life.
From our planet to the cosmos, it’s a whole new perspective on our place in the universe. 🚀

It's the final countdown 🎶
We're one step closer to Roman's first images! The observatory is now fully functional and the team is performing their final checks and calibrations before starting science observations.

The Government’s cash settlement for STFC risks cutting-edge scientific research being dropped and the closure of laboratories and scientific facilities like Jodrell Bank across the country.
We are world-leading in science training and research - to throw that away is foolhardy.

🚨What happens to UK science when its next generation sees a future elsewhere?
69% of the PhD students and postdocs we surveyed seriously consider their next job abroad. Just 1 in 20 are confident about suitable UK opportunities.

The UK government seems blissfully unaware of the damage this will do to the future of physics in the UK. Trust in a research system takes decades to build, but can be lost remarkably quickly. It starts with losing the next generation of researchers
🚨 69% of UK early-career researchers in particle physics, astronomy & nuclear physics plan to leave the country for their next job.
Simon Williams and I spoke to @timeshighered about our latest survey and the consequences of STFC cuts for UK science.

UK soft power latest: Leading Chinese physicists call out @UKRI_News withdrawal from @LHCbExperiment. @ChiOnwurah and the SIT's work on science diplomacy have called this a 'lack of joined up thinking' recently
Leading Chinese physicists have condemned UK Research and Innovation’s “irresponsible” decision to withdraw funding from an upgrade to an experiment at Cern, Europe’s world-leading particle physics facility #UKRI #Cern #physics #research

Our Ramses planetary defence spacecraft has been switched on for the first time, a major milestone on the way to its 2028 launch.
The ESA-JAXA mission will rendezvous with asteroid Apophis and study it during its exceptionally close flyby of Earth in April 2029.

Today, NASA announced PRIMA, a new space telescope that will explore long-standing mysteries around the formation of planets, stars, black holes, and even how water on Earth came to be. go.nasa.gov/3TgGh3W

“The abrupt withdrawal from the leadership role in the next-generation @LHCbExperiment at @CERN is one of many examples of hasty decision-making...” @ProfBrianCox for @kayaburgess in @thetimes thetimes.com/uk/science/arti…

Roman will find around 100,000 new planets beyond our solar system, known as exoplanets. Which one is just right for you? 💙
Can't wait? Dive into our catalog of exoplanets found by missions like Kepler, TESS, and more: science.nasa.gov/exoplanets/

Today in 1977, Voyager 1 took this image of the Earth and Moon in a single frame, captured from 7.25 million miles away. It was the first of its kind taken by a spacecraft.

The LZ dark matter search has observed a single unexplained event
Many discoveries have begun with a single anomalous event, but so have even more false alarms. So we wait. Typically, direct-detection experiments have excellent control over their backgrounds
Our new results are out! We have observed a single nuclear recoil in our detector that we find difficult to explain with our background model. Could it be a hint of dark matter? It’s far too early to say, but it’s certainly intriguing! #darkmatter

We need a stronger Europe with Britain at its heart.
