Describe your favourite movie as boringly as possible. I’ll start: Ape throws a bone in their air, and later on a spaceship goes to Jupiter and after that this astronaut turns into a baby or something.
936. Yes: The Yes Album. Remastered with bonus stuff. This is such a great album!!! That’s why I bought it (again). #CDsAtoZ 💿
935. Phil Collins: Hello, I Must Be Going! ‘Take A Look At Me Now’ 2 CD edition with live versions and demos. This is my favourite solo album from Phil and it sounds so good remastered. Live performances are fantastic. #CDsAtoZ 💿
Dark Emu/Milky Way, stretching from Scorpius in the eastern sky (bottom) to Crux at zenith (top). July 5th 2026 #astrophotography
Dear Northern Hemisphere #astrophotographers and amateur #astronomers: How are your summer skies? We are jealous down here. It’s been weeks. WEEKS. ☁️ 🌧️ 🥶
932. Eagles: One of These Nights. 50th anniversary 4-disc set, including a full live performance from 1975 and a BluRay with the Atmos mix. This sounds so good! The original mix was pretty muddy; this one brings out the vocals so well. #CDsAtoZ 💿
931. Queen: II. 2026 re-issue with a fantastic remix. Queen at their prog rock heights, with a mix of hard rock and beautiful melodies. Oh yeah pretty good band, you should check them out. #CDsAtoZ 💿
Wore my #sockstakovich to the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra’s magnificent performance of Shostakovich’s 4th #shostakovich #music
My reflection on 'The Magic Faraway Tree' (the movie), and how 'The Magic Faraway Tree' (the book) was my introduction to independent reading when I was seven. #books #movies open.substack.com/pub/asteroid...
Movies You Should Watch Because I Said So
Number 8: The Magic Faraway Tree (Ben Gregor, 2026)

NGC 2903, a beautiful barred spiral galaxy 30,000,000 light years away in Leo. What would our galaxy look like from over there? May 11th 2026 #astrophotography
Two galaxies in Leo: M65 (left), 42,000,000 light years away, and M66 (right), 31,000,000 light years away. Each measures at least 100,000 light years in diameter. Think of the billions of stars within each of these ancient galaxies. May 11th 2026 #astrophotography
The star λ Centauri, 390 light years away, superimposed on the beautiful cluster IC 2944, which is much further away at 6,500 light years. May 11th 2026 #astrophotography
Comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS), May 11th 2026, currently in Orion and 127,000,000 kilometres away. It is now outbound, and is expected to be eventually ejected from the solar system. Farewell then, lonely green traveller. #astrophotography
The arrow points to a green smudge which is Comet C/2025 R3 (PANSTARRS), currently in Orion and 122,000 kilometres away. To the right is M42, the Orion Nebula. I couldn't make out the comet's tail but there's always tomorrow. Canon R6 camera, May 10th 2026 #astrophotography
