I’ve just spent an enjoyable hour chatting on the phone with my good mate Peter Windsor, the brilliant journalist & broadcaster, putting the #F1 world to rights with him, & while we were chinwagging I persuaded him to join BlueSky. Guess what: he just has. Follow him on @peterdwindsor.bsky.social. 👍
Yes that’s the rosette nebula!
Here is a photo I have taken from my backyard.
That’s an amazing photo!
Has anyone noticed the diffraction spikes on the bright stars?!
They look identical to Bahtinov mask focusing diffraction spikes!
An image of the Rosette Nebula taken by Athanasios Politis, a vibrant cosmic cloud of red and pink gas with intricate dark dust lanes and bright blue stars scattered throughout. The nebula resembles a blooming rose, set against the blackness of space.
✨ Behold the majesty of the Rosette Nebula! 🌌 A celestial bloom of gas and stars, 5,000 light-years away in Monoceros. Cosmic beauty at its finest!

Oh yes! One of my favourite arcade games!
Two motorsport marshals in high-visibility overalls guide a Formula 2 car being lifted by a crane. The car hangs suspended mid-air, as the marshals ensure its safe removal from the track at Brands Hatch.
Surreal moment: spotted myself on national TV while recovering a GB2 car at Brands Hatch during a marshalling stint. What a day! 🚗💨🏁 #Motorsport #MotorsportUK #MotorsportMarshal #BrandsHatch
Image of a motorsport marshal Athanasios Politis clearing debris from Paddock Hill Bend at Brands Hatch during a race. The marshal is wearing high-visibility safety gear and working efficiently to ensure the track is safe for drivers.
Captured in action while marshalling at Brands Hatch during the incredible American SpeedFest! 🇺🇸🏁
A weekend full of roaring engines, thrilling races, and amazing vibes. Honored to play a part in keeping the track safe!

Graham Beveridge, born #OnThisDay in ’48, was killed at Albert Park in 2001 when struck by a wheel flying from Jacques Villeneuve’s BAR. We who love #F1 owe marshals so much. I wrote a #MotorSport column, name-checking Beveridge among others. Click below.
