Sad to hear the news that Peter Higgs is no more. Had the privilege to meeting and talking to him during visits to Edinburgh serving on the board of advisors for the Higgs Centre for Theoretical Physics The University of Edinburgh - a lovely soft-spoken, brilliant and warm person - he will be missed RIP Peter

Intriguing but incredibly unsuccessful eclipse iphone photo video attempts 😪

Its just started here the 🌙 is slowly gobbling up the 🌞…. Awe-making… I have seen many of these solar and lunar eclipses in totality but each one is wondrous

Prepped to head oit and start looking up and out… don’t miss the other planets and stars that will come into view if you are along totality

Eclipse watching with Yale Astronomy - total totality but will still be awesome….

Last minute decision to chase eclipse to even more northern bit New Hampshire or even Maine...imprudent given traffic and may need to miss work tomorrow as return traffic is going to be crazy. Hoping for benevolence from the weather gods for later this afternoon....

Was lovely talking to Elizabeth Dias Elizabeth Dias of the The New York Times about this collective experience of awe we are all slated to experience tomorrow. Praying for clear skies...for everyone who has raced over to the path of totality across the country.

Had a lot of fun chatting to PRX The World's Carolyn Beeler about the new lunar time standard that President Biden asked NASA to develop..LTC like UTC here and why moving clocks tick differently; and clocks in gravitational fields tick differently ..
