#OTD 30 years ago: 6 October 1990, the joint ESA/NASA #Ulysses spacecraft was launched by the Shuttle #Discovery from @NASAKennedy. Ulysses was the first mission to study the environment above and below the poles of the Sun 👉 esa.int/Our_Activities… @esascience @NASAhistory 
During its 17.5 years in space, ESA/NASA #Ulysses rewarded scientists with the unprecedented depth and breadth of its results, not just about the Sun and its influence, but also with surprising insights into the nature of our galaxy and the Universe 👉 esa.int/Science_Explor…
ESA/NASA #Ulysses was designed to last for five years but the mission was extended four times, allowing Ulysses to pass over the Sun's poles for a second and third time, and spending more than 17 years in space.
Today, I have had loads of people getting in touch to say “Oh now I get what you’ve been on about.”
The sight of crowds on the streets of #Soho or cramming into pubs on #SuperSaturday, has made people realise that the govt strategy is STILL #HerdImmunity (also called mitigation)

"But why would they knowingly do it?"
"What's their goal?"
"What happens when we follow the money?"
"What can we do to stop this"

What is #HerdImmunity?
It is an outcome NOT a strategy
Virtually every virologist or epidemiologist will tell you this
To slow down the spread = mitigation = going for herd immunity
To stop the spread = suppression = not going for herd immunity

A new #comet was discovered last month by amateur astronomer Micheal Mattiazzo from Australia. Just, he did not look at the sky to do so. He inspected images from #SOHO, our Solar and Heliospheric Observatory.

Here is a photo of the comet from 2 May 👇
Today, it reached its closest approach to Earth at around 85 million km, and it is headed towards its closest point to the Sun on 27 May. It is now faintly visible to the naked eye. Will it become brighter?

It can be extremely difficult to predict the behaviour of comets, but scientists are hopeful that Comet SWAN will remain bright enough to see as it continues its journey. If it survives, star gazers should look for it near the bright star Capella in the constellation of Auriga ☄️
