Walked on April 16 and 24, 2021 When Lockdown 3 was introduced last January further Swale walks had to be curtailed. But with the easing of lockdown on the April 12 and the beginning of fine sunny weather it was time to get walking again. The only problem was the lack of public transport. My solution was to develop a method of driving to where I wanted to get to, leaving a bicycle there, driving back to the start of the walk, doing the walk, then cycling back.

When we look at the night sky, how far back in time can we see? January 8, 2021 at 11:22 am When we look up at the stars, we are looking back in time.

Advertisement With enormous modern telescopes and sensitive detectors, professional astronomers can see far beyond what most back garden telescopes are capable of. The Hubble eXtreme Deep Field (XDF) was created by using 10 years of Hubble Space Telescope images and reveals galaxies spanning 13.2 billion years in time: about 0.6 years after the birth of the Universe. The deep field captures such distant light, most of the galaxies are seen as they existed in their infancy. Credit: NASA, ESA, G. Illingworth, D. Magee, and P.
