Buy me a coffee?
Writing this blog is a labour of love, and one which I evidently need a little encouragement towards on occasion. If you like what I write, the best way to show your gratitude would be to fuel my caffeine addiction and buy me a coffee to say thank you. All coffee donations are gratefully accepted!

The Crunch
Well… A crunch anyway. Perhaps not the crunch… So feedback on my report was pretty good. All the critique I was hoping for, anyway; I certainly wasn’t expecting everything to be spot on first time (that would be miraculous). Still, … Continue reading
Top 10 most unusual life forms
So a big puzzle in astrobiology is where exactly we might find life and what form it may take. Most scientists regard life as having a few prerequisites to exist in the first place; notably water, oxygen, carbon, a temperature … Continue reading
Interstellar Deluge
Interestingly, about the time I first started writing about near Earth supernovae, this fascinating paper was already published. Though by some quirk of fate, I’ve only just been able to get a copy of it to read! So as I’ve … Continue reading

Pumpkin volatiles
Because it’s seasonal… Food pairing with pumpkins! The major classes of compound that flavour fresh pumpkins are aliphatic alcohols and carbonyls, furan derivatives and sulfur-containing compounds. Major constituents (and foods that will match them) are: (Z)-3-hexenol – broccoli, sweet peppers … Continue reading
Supernova Condensate
So this blog’s called Supernova Condensate, but I realise I’ve never actually written about supernova condensate! Time to fix that, I think… Supernova condensate, often abbreviated to SuNoCon (which sounds like it should be a convention somewhere), is exactly that. … Continue reading
