  4. Some of my scientists use open-access coding tools such as @healpy to analyse my data: github.com/healpy/healpy - many thanks to @andreazonca
  5. Today is the 22nd anniversary of the launch of the Hubble Space Telescope - a joint NASA/ESA project.
  6. Many happy returns to Max Planck, after whom I am named, who would be 158 today. (ht to @Entrepenante & @astronomyblog)

  9. There's an article about me in the May issue of @skyatnightmag, which is on sale now bit.ly/HUZr43
  10. @AnneRuthmann I don't know of any, but local institutions might be able to help. Do you mean Cambridge, MA, or Cambridge, UK?
  11. @hdawnx That was actually the ATV control room - couldn't find a photo of mine at short notice...but it would have looked similar at launch
  12. @DrStuClark :-)
  13. @DrStuClark I guess I have more monitors in total, but they're not as compactly arranged, e.g.: bit.ly/IAue2i :-)
