🇿🇦 Are there 600,000 confirmed #homeless people living on the streets of #Johannesburg & #Pretoria, as claimed by @IOL? africacheck.info/homeless_peopl…
@IOL The figure is attributed to Homeless Solutions, a non-profit organisation based in Pretoria.

South Africa had a sex expo, and we’re here for it, even if we weren’t there! From ‘ooooh’ to ‘awwww’, we’re getting all the feels.

A friend of mine (@hazeldickens) recently asked @HayleyEversKing and I; “Can you see the #Jacaranda trees, which bloom every year in #Pretoria, from space?”…#thread (1/n)
For those that have never seen them; #Jacarandas grow all over #Pretoria & #Johannesburg & each year explode in an incredible purple display between September & November. We saw these when we visited @UPTuks in 2011, on an @Access_HP course & they are stunning! (2/n)
We’re not land remote sensing aficionados (ocean please!), but decided to have a look using @CopernicusEU @ESA_EO #Sentinel2 data. We started by comparing a time of year when we know the trees are in bloom (now), with one where we know that weren’t (July) (3/n)
Mercury will pass between Earth & Sun on afternoon, 11 Nov 2019 Monday. Most of #MercuryTransit2019 can be seen from all of Africa, till local sunset. @SKA_Africa @SAAOOutreach @AfricaAstronomy @Astro4Dev & others are coordinating a Africa-wide campaign for #ToM2019 #ToMAfrica
It is VERY dangerous to look at the Sun directly using telescope binoculars or naked eyes. Looking at Sun's image projected onto a sheet of paper by a telescope is safe. There r a few public events by science centres etc in Africa where u can see #ToM2019 safely (pic @samyukta_m)
An interactive map of public events in Africa for #ToMAfrica, transit timings, a free handbook on #ToM2019, posters, and a podcast on #MercuryTransit2019 are at africanastronomicalsociety.org/activities/tra…, sarao.ac.za/transit-of-mer… and transit2019.saao.ac.za
