#AD The best cabins to escape to come with their own telescopes! recently I got to stay with @Canopyandstars at the Ursabear cabin on the edge of Exmoor National Park (a designated dark sky site) in Devon. It was set up perfectly for stargazing (like all the Canopy & Stars cabins are) and I had great fun observing the quarter Moon the best time to observe the Moon with a telescope is when its not full, and the shadow line known as the terminator throws up lots of detail on all the craters. Have you managed to see the Moon through a telescope yet? Or escape to somewhere with darker skies? If not, check out the cabins that @Canopyandstars have!

$How do we define a second? #shorts #science How do we define a second? It used to be as a fraction of the length of a day, i.e. how long it takes Earth to turn once on its axis. But that wasnt precise enough for scientists, especially since the length of Earths day changes! So instead, since the 1950s the second has been defined by the number of spin transitions of electrons in a Caesium atom. ‍ Im Dr. Becky Smethurst, an astrophysicist at the University of Oxford (Christ Church). I love making videos about science with an unnatural level of enthusiasm. I like to focus on how we know things, not just what we know. And especially, the things we still dont know. If youve ever wondered about something in space and couldnt find an answer online - you can ask me! My day job is to do research into how supermassive black holes can affect the galaxies that they live in. In particular, I look at whether the energy output from the disk of material orbiting around a growing supermassive black hole can stop a galaxy from forming stars. http://drbecky.uk.com https://rebeccasmethurst.co.uk$
