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!

I just wanted to share this gorgeous photograph – Jupiter and all four of its Galilean moons clearly visible, behind our own Moon with the sunlight illuminating the bumps and ridges on its surface. I love photographs like this. Sometimes it’s … Continue reading

Journey to Jupiter
Amateur astronomers really do accomplish some fantastic things. Things like this gorgeous little video! Between December 2014 and March 2015, 91 astronomers from around the world took over 1000 photographs of our planet’s largest sibling and arranged them into this … Continue reading
Tiny Volcanic World

Secret Oceans and Hidden Lakes
I’ve written surprisingly little here about Europa. Surprising, because it’s easily one of the most interesting objects in our solar system. Perhaps I have a habit of favouring the underdogs, but if there’s any other place in the solar system … Continue reading
