Cheers Bintel for a great post.

“OCTOBER IN SPACE : The highlight for the month may be the annual Orionid Meteor shower that peaks after midnight on Oct 21-22 with “shooting stars” appearing frequently from nearby Orion’s belt. These meteors are remnants from Halley’s comet! Speaking of comets, there are at least 5 available for keen imagers to photograph, the brightest being Comet 46P/Wiraten. ALL planets are visible at some time during the evening and Uranus is at opposition. Mercury wll have some close encounters with Venus and Jupiter this month. A decent month to space out!”

International Space Station
NASA astronauts Ricky Arnold and Drew Feustel and Russian cosmonaut Oleg Artemyev return to Earth after a 197-day mission spanning 3,152 orbits of Earth and a journey of 83.4 million miles. During their time on the space station, they performed science experiments ranging from physics to biological studies and ran tests to expand navigation capabilities for future travel far from Earth.

Some are calling for Pluto to be re classified as a planet again. What’s your thoughts? 🌏

Pluto is most definitely a planet -- and should never have been downgraded, say some scientists
Their research suggests the rationale used to downgrade Pluto from a planet to a dwarf planet was not valid.

Australia! This November I’ll be touring Australia where we’ll crack the code on astronomy, futurism, interplanetary colonisation and string theory.
