Lovely crescent Moon and bright Venus below it in the twilight this evening.

Go see.

It was a long night under beautiful clear skies last night.
I like to look after my skin, especially when outside in the elements.
I’ve just slapped this lot on to do just that!

Nice big meteor over the UK at 12:30am.
Video from Cara Crick and Yorkshire Weather.

While watching the ArtemisII Splash down yesterday evening, I was working on some shots for my new show.

I can easily say, the CG planet Earth I was working on looks better than the one the astronauts could see out of their window 🤣 🤣 🤣

Well done NASA
Well done ESA
And well done to the four Artemis Astronauts, safely splashing down and safely home.

Looks like a still from a sci-fi movie. Amazing!

[alt text by NASA] The Moon, seen here backlit by the Sun during a solar eclipse on April 6, 2026, is photographed by one of the cameras on the Orion spacecraft’s solar array wings. Orion is visible in the foreground on the left. Earth is reflecting sunlight at the left edge of the Moon, which is slightly brighter than the rest of the disk. The bright spot visible just below the Moon’s bottom right edge is Saturn. Beyond that, the bright spot at the right edge of the image is Mars. Credit: NASA

Whoa 🤯

The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

ALERT!

After a successful flypast of the dark side of the Moon, no Nazi's, or aliens were spotted!

We all know where they actually are don't we! ;)

Happy Easter Day to all of my wonderful followers.

Like many, we are not a religeous family and enjoy celebrating all the original pagan festivals. For their more earthly or seasonal meaning.

Enjoy your chocolate eggs, lamb roast dinner, or whatever you do on this fine day. :)

Soon, I wil embark on a brand new online endeavour, with regular videos posted on all networks.
Lot's of silliness, lot's of me and content specially created by a team of magical elves and bits of brain, from the Roswell Aliens.

On X earlier today, I mentioned that America does not own the Moon. Which is accurate and true. Nobody does.

I received over 500 of the most vicious, vile, stupid and disgusting replies from Americans. Only 3 were civilised.

What the hell America!
What has happened to your once great country 😔

Trump is up to no good this evening.

Nothing new there then....

What's he going to break now???

Busy working on content about bringing us all together and mankind's future in the stars.
As a fleet of US bombers armed to the teeth, fly overhead on their way to the middle east.

We really need to change, or we will never evolve into something better.

Original and very collectible 1977 Star Wars R2D2 and C3PO action figures purchased as a nice surprise for me today, by the lovely and wonderful Mrs Astro.
These will take pride of place in my studio. 😊
