Astronomer, driving The Dish📡 to study pulsars in my PhD. Also, founded SpaceAustralia.com. Also, love a bit of astrophotography. Also, do everything with my little mate, Max. Also, Ultra-Gay. He/Him.

- There was a huge X-class solar flare yesterday on the Sun! You can see it on the right-hand limb in these SDO images. I find it so neat that we live next to, and can study, a star. We take it for granted that it's "the Sun" and it's always in the sky, but there is a star and it is RIGHT THERE. 🔭
- Congrats to Aman Chokshi on being selected as one of Nature’s six striking images that showcase fieldwork by scientists. Aman’s image of the @sptelescope.bsky.social is just stunning, with aurora dancing in the background. Taken on his stay in Antarctica. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
- Continuing on with my obsessions with #magnetospheres — have you seen these incredible new images from JWST that show high-time temporal evolution of auroral structures at the Jovian pole?! Wow! Jupiter’s magnetic field is HUGE and these aurora are from solar wind + particles discharged from Io. 🔭
- The NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope has observed Jupiter’s aurora. The observations help astronomers better understand how Jupiter’s upper atmosphere is heated & cooled, and may prove useful to our #ESAJuice mission, en route to the gas giant. Read more 👉 www.esa.int/Science_Expl... 🔭 🧪
- A few days ago I was once again matched in the @skypeascientist.bsky.social program — with the Nexus International School in Singapore. So this week, I’ll be chatting to the Grade 6 students about astronomy and pulsars! Sent a little talk description over and the teacher replied back with this 🥹🥹🥹
