Thank you Eric ! And if you couldn’t get tickets for this evening then we’ve just released a few guest seats that we didn’t use and some seats at the back rows - but the screen is big! so if you go to the O2 web site you can pick them up axs.com/uk/events/3974

Say what you like about young people of today but I know of no previous epoch or generation where a major scientist could sell out the O2 (again). The future is literally in their hands. Congratulations to @ProfBrianCox on tonight’s huge crowd coming to consider the Universe.

Born #OnThisDay in 1871 was Ernest Rutherford PRS. He was the first to theorise the existence of the atomic nucleus, and worked on the first experiment to split the atom. In our collection we have his homemade potato masher, though this is not what he used to split the atom...

My Horizons Arena shows begin a week today in the UK. Tickets still available at some venues. Hopefully near to you. But then again, space is likely not fundamental, so what is 'nearby' anyway? briancoxlive.co.uk

I agree. Superb from

. As an aside, E. O. Wilson’s book ‘Consilience’ made a big impact on me when I first read it in the late ‘90s.

Ready for the next giant leap? Hear where the next steps on the Moon may fall. Tune in live for the announcement of potential landing regions for the #Artemis III mission to the lunar South Pole. Friday, Aug. 19, at 2pm ET (1800 UTC): go.nasa.gov/3puuwnW
View of the lunar South Pole. In the center of the image, the Moon's slate grey surface is visible. Dotted with craters the visual is one that is uncommon and from a unique angle. The background of the image is a dark black of space. Radial guidelines permeate from the center of the Moon showing directional degrees from the South Pole. The bottom left of the image states "Clementine Mission. Uncontrolled Image Mosaic. Lunar South Polar Region. Orthographic Projection."

I love flying and think superstition is the preserve of the illogical mind, but even I would think twice ……
