On This Day In HistoryToday in 1783, 240 years ago: simultaneously arrives in Paris (France), Turin and Padua (Italy) the acidic cloud from the Laki volcano (of Iceland), which exploded on June 8 and will erupt in the next 8 months. In the following two years it will cause a great famine, which will leave a balance of 6 million deaths worldwide. It has been described as “one of the greatest environmental catastrophes in European history”.

James FeltonYou have never known true horror until you are sat on a public toilet with a toddler you are responsible for in the cubicle, whom you are trying to convince with rational argument not to open the cubicle door
@drvgraber Hi Vanessa, I was looking at your website and love your slides on Neutron stars - Extraordinary cosmic laboratories. Do you have this recorded? I'd love to read more about the vortexs/spin down.
Hi everyone! I'm Rose (she/her). I've been lurking for a few days but this is my first post - so here's my #introduction.
I am a data #programmer, but back to uni part-time to study for a masters in #spaceScience, hopefully doing my dissertation on #neutronStars or #eclipsingBinaryStars or #blueStragglerStars, as yet undecided.
When I'm not on my computer, or wiping toddler faces (ages 2 and 3), I love #knitting, reading #scifi, and pretending that I like to #run.
Great to meet you all!
