If you come to The Night Sky Show. You will see how much Star Wars and science fiction in general has influenced me. The sequel to the first show is in production and a very special part of it starts production today, #StarWarsDay. It's going to be epic! Get tickets here www.nightskyshow.co.uk

May the Fourth be with You! It's #StarWarsDay Star Wars had a massive influence on me and it shaped shaped my world. My love of the night sky, Space and beyond has been pretty much kept alive by it. I always wanted my very own Millenium Falcon and to fly around the galaxy as a child. I still do!

Aurora activity is extremely high. If you have clear skies this evening, go outside and look up. You might spot some...

113 years ago this very evening, the RMS Titanic struck an iceberg and sank 2 hours 40 minutes later resulting in the deaths of approximately 1600 people. Becoming the most famous maritime disaster and ship wreck in history

The daytime moon

The Moon is looking fabulous over in the eastern daytime sky. You can see it sometimes in the daytime due it being illuminated by the sun. The moon doesn’t emit its own light. Check it out.

Will social media ever be good? I’ve just had the most revolutionary groundbreaking idea to make it so! I can only share it with certain billionaires though, once we’ve sorted out the paperwork Seriously!

ATTENTION PEOPLE IN LONDON AND BIRMINGHAM The Box Office for The Night Sky Show is now open! Get your tickets here: Wimbledon: buff.ly/1fRS2eh Birmingham x 2 shows: buff.ly/mGyXmZz The Cosmos has Never Been So Much Fun!

I just heard a penguin chatting with a polar bear about how Narnia and Middle Earth are both facing 35% tariffs. Both have agreed not to buy a Tesla.

I’m so sad to hear Val Kilmer has died. He featured in many films of my childhood and teenage years. Top Gun, Top Secret to name a couple and he was even Batman. He will be sorely missed.

After an amazing Night Sky Show in North Wales on Saturday, I am now looking forward to the next one, at the Regent Theatre Stoke-on-Trent this Sunday. There are only two individual seats left! Get them here buff.ly/w2UVKSk and see you there 😀

PHWARRR! That’s a nice piece of Axminster

Back at the hotel after a wonderful evening of Q&A at the Anglesey Astronomical Society @AstroOnAnglesey 2 year birthday celebrations. Thank you so much for having me. If you are in North Wales, give them a follow and a visit.

Thank you so much to everyone that came to the Night Sky Show at @VenueCymru last night. A wonderful venue and a fantastic audience. I really can’t wait to return. It was epic! 😀✨✨✨

Today’s dressing room

Good morning Llandudno.

Is @benandjerrysUK Cherry Garcia still available in cinemas? The best flavour in the entire universe!

There's nothing wrong with cash, it's just been a very long time since I used it. Always waving a phone or piece of plastic around. I'd forgotten about old fashoioned money 😂

In hindsight, it wasn't a great idea putting the cat litter tray near my desk.

Reminds me when Jeremy found a fifty down the back seat of the Range Rover. Loose change to him of course.

Ordered a Chinese by phone from a local takeaway and was told it was cash only. Found a cash point and realised, it's actually been years since I handled cash. I actually felt a little vulnerable and dirty. I had to wash my hands after. Technology has well and truly taken over.
