As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

#MayThe4th be with you! These images from @JEPNews Photo collection, held at #JerseyArchive, are of the first screening of the phenomenon that is #StarWars when it arrived in #JerseyCI in March 1978. There are also 2 images from 1980, when ‘The Empire Strikes Back’ was screened.

Go big *and* go home. 🏠
On this day last year, Webb successfully completed the million-mile journey to its current home base. Since then, it’s hit one home run after another — from the deepest, sharpest infrared image taken to its first rocky, Earth-size exoplanet confirmation.
🏠 Home, home on Lagrange! We successfully completed our burn to start #NASAWebb on its orbit of the 2nd Lagrange point (L2), about a million miles (1.5 million km) from Earth. It will orbit the Sun, in line with Earth, as it orbits L2. blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2022/01/… #UnfoldTheUniverse

Cancelled giving evidence against the person who assaulted my 88 yr old aunt in her own home. Couldn’t take the risk with the person back living a few doors away from my aunt despite three months of trying to get her moved @VS_WestYorks @WDHupdate @MyWakefield @WestYorksPolice

Here it is: humanity’s final look at @NASAWebb as it heads into deep space to answer our biggest questions. Alone in the vastness of space, Webb will soon begin an approximately two-week process to deploy its antennas, mirrors, and sunshield. #UnfoldTheUniverse

#NASAWebb is safely in space with its solar array drawing power from the Sun! Its reaction wheels will keep the spacecraft pointed in the right direction so that its sunshield can protect the telescope from radiation and heat: blogs.nasa.gov/webb/2021/12/…

The @Ariane5 that will launch #Webb was moved from the Launcher Integration Building to the Final Assembly Building at @EuropeSpacePort!
In this same building Webb will be placed on top of Ariane 5 before launch 👉

Are you burdened by legacy applications? Do you have the right tools for digital change? These questions and more were explored in the IoD Jersey Digital Adoption Webinar today. A recording of the webinar will be available on iod.je tomorrow.

Asking ourselves these six questions while shopping helps us #reduce our overall waste! In the words of Pal Martensson at #CRRA2021, "You cannot talk about waste reduction without talking about consumption." #MindfulShopping #WasteReduction

The #RedArrows have performed a flypast to mark the unveiling of the new British Normandy Memorial in Ver-sur-Mer, #France. It records the names of the 22,442 service personnel under British command who fell on D-Day and during the Battle of #Normandy in 1944. @britishmemorial

The counter at St Peter’s Grand Marche is a concession run by a local fisherman who sells his own locally caught fish. St Helier is managed by us and has local shellfish & fish available.
We have space outside some stores if any local fishermen want to sell direct to customers. – at Bailiwick of Jersey, United Kingdom
