  1. @LRO_NASA Brilliant images of the Apollo landing sites! http://bit.ly/YSG0m
  2. @ESAHerschel Seems fitting for Uranus to be one of the principal calibrators for SPIRE given your namesake.
  3. About 1,457,500 km (4.86 light-seconds) from Earth.
  4. Photos from the @Planck & @ESAHerschel part of the @SummerScience Exhibition in London http://planck.cf.ac.uk/node/85 #sse09
  5. First light images and spectra from @ESAHerschel http://herschel.esac.esa.in...
  6. @AndromedasWake 09:00 UT tomorrow.
  7. RT @ESAHerschel First SPIRE images, PACS & HIFI spectra and new PACS images will be released at 09:00UT http://herschel.esac.esa.int/
  8. "Like measuring the heat of a rabbit on the Moon" :-) http://bit.ly/hT5om
  9. @photographworks Radiative cooling takes me down to about 50 K. Then three stages of refrigeration. See http://planck.cf.ac.uk/cryo...
  10. RT @SummerScience Missed Chris North's lunchtime talk on @ESAHerschel and @Planck? Listen online now: http://tr.im/sse09hp1 #sse09
  11. Completed the manoeuver to get into my final orbit around L2. Currently about 1,432,000 km (4.78 light seconds) from Earth.
  12. If you're in London today, you can talk to some of my scientists at the RS @SummerScience Exhibition. It's free! #sse09
  13. My coldest parts are now at 0.1 K (that's -273.05°C or -459.49°F). Brrrr.
  14. My teams are celebrating being the coldest (known) place in space! http://bit.ly/n1EIt
  15. Be sure to check out the latest episode of @365DaysOfAstro when it goes live today (July 2): http://365daysofastronomy.org/ #IYA2009
  16. LFI has been tuning its amplifiers over the past week or so. The 4K cooler stroke and 0.1 K cooler flow rate were set to full on 27 June.
  17. RT @SummerScience Today's 1pm BST talk: Chris North of Cardiff Uni on the @ESAHerschel and @Planck missions http://tr.im/sse09events #sse09
  18. You can also see yourself in the infrared and explore the Universe from my perspective http://tinyurl.com/sse09planck #sse09
  19. There's a 1:4 scale model of me (and a 1:10 of @ESAHerschel) at the RS @SummerScience Exhibition in London right now #sse09
  20. The 4K and 1.6K stages of my HFI have reached their nominal temperatures! http://bit.ly/uiUQY
