Research Fellow in Astrophysics @ the University of Leeds. Interested in all things Radio Astronomy! Currently working on Galactic filaments. Owned by two dogs, two cats, and two guinea pigs. 🐶🐱🐹 Will post both science and personal. She/herhttps://bsky.app/profile/astronemma.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/astronemma.bsky.social/post/3mtdwu7l6f22aEveryone should know what happened with the Infinite Monkey Cage. One of the best-known science communicators in the UK is married to a prominent transphobe; we can only assume he shares her views. The BBC has a lot to answer for here too.

We’re heading down to Spain to (hopefully) see the Total Solar Eclipse!! 🇪🇸🛳️🌞🌚10 Aug 2026 16:56 +0000at://did:plc:5ft2mdl3d247nie4mafc4lpk/app.bsky.feed.post/3msqky3a6c22zhttps://bsky.app/profile/astronemma.bsky.social/post/3mrpraesirk26We had a plenary talk on HiPERCAM last week at the National Astronomy Meeting. Some really cool science (and the technology that enables it) — ending on the dismal note that it’s a victim of the cuts.

It’s been a tough few weeks as her health declined (chronic kidney disease), but she’s at peace now. We’re gonna miss her so much. ❤️25 May 2026 22:12 +0000at://did:plc:5ft2mdl3d247nie4mafc4lpk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mmpiqgls5s2phttps://bsky.app/profile/astronemma.bsky.social/post/3miy555gdls2lFYI: the abstract deadline for NAM has been extended until the 16th! Includes a session on radio astronomy and the SKAO (with a particular focus on work by early career researchers).

The Moon will be less than 9 degrees elongation at sunset, but other conditions are favourable. The youngest crescent I’ve ever seen was 18 hours old; this will be 17h! 🔭🌙 https://www.skyatnightmagazine.com/news/moon-venus-march-202618 Mar 2026 09:39 +0000at://did:plc:5ft2mdl3d247nie4mafc4lpk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mhd6xptlis2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/astronemma.bsky.social/post/3mf4ptgw3mc2bArticle I co-wrote which covers the astronomy of new crescent Moon visibility in the Islamic calendar! #Ramadan Mubarak to those observing the month ☺️🌙 [contains quote post or other embedded content]18 Feb 2026 09:02 +0000at://did:plc:5ft2mdl3d247nie4mafc4lpk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mf4ptgw3mc2bhttps://bsky.app/profile/astronemma.bsky.social/post/3mdfo3kovbc2p@astropotamus.com hi please can you stop following and unfollowing?
