  3. Been up in space for just over 193 days. It sure does go quickly.
  4. Is it a bird, is it a plane...no it's me (and @ESAHerschel): http://planck.cf.ac.uk/node...
  5. RT @EuroSpaceAgency: Check out our new look YouTube page at: http://www.youtube.com/esa
  6. @TaviGreiner I've seen 58% of the sky but I'm not half way through the first survey (in time) yet due to the way I scan.
  7. @ESAHerschel Congratulations for making #7 on TIME's list.
  8. Completed 58% of the sky.
  9. RT @ESAHerschel Herschel is bigger, but @Planck is brighter. See this in http://bit.ly/3kfVCM

  17. As I slowly scan the sky, things move into my view. In the past few weeks I've seen Mars, Jupiter and Neptune. Very useful for calibration.
  18. Many of my scientists & engineers who aren't at the Data Processing Centres are meeting in Bologna this week to discuss the mission so far.
  19. RT @chrisenorth Just bought some snacks ready for tonight's shift on the Bridge---I mean in the control room of @Planck HFI
