Got up early to look at Comet Lemmon. It's OK and should get better this month.

Alt: Phil Hartman sitting at a table eating cereal and drinking orange juice. The cereal box is labeled 'Colon Blow' My only regret visiting England was probably down to lacking a product like this. Tbf one of our goals was to test out Tunnock's tea cakes and meat pies so I've only myself to blame

What's your favourite British things? I need a load of iconic stuff and I'm rubbish at patriotism or remembering. Stuff like the Mini or the Queen or the Beatles or Jaffa Cakes or the Hay wain or Big Ben, what are the first (good) things you think of?

Actuellement deux comètes présentes dans notre système solaire semblent se tirer la bourre. Leur nom de code : C/2025 K1 ATLAS (à gauche) et C/2025 R2 SWAN (à droite). En réalité leurs trajectoires respectives sont très différentes.
