Amazing photo with the phone, I can't get that detail on my phone..(!) This is one I took with binoculars and phone, and then lunar corona and lunar halo with my phone. I tried to get a photo of the lunar eclipse a few weeks ago in the UK but was cloudy unfortunately....

Had a great time presenting our poster at #SRNT2025 about #smoking in people in recovery from drug/alcohol #addiction. V high prevalence and smoking related harms in this group. People are stopping smoking but more to do to further #support this.

"Tobacco is still our biggest killer. This Bill will represent a sea change in terms of reducing harm caused by tobacco."
Our policy lead for addiction, Alison Challenger, Director of Public Health @wsccnews.bsky.social, has this afternoon given evidence to the Tobacco & Vapes Bill Committee.
Smoking kills.
