20 SECONDS OF SCIENCE: The #Orion Nebula is a huge stellar nursery where #stars are forming 1,344 light years away. And we mean HUGE! If the Earth-Sun distance was represented as 2.5 centimetres then the Orion Nebula would be 20.3 kilometres across! #STEMinAction #sciencefacts
20 SECONDS OF SCIENCE: Your #brain constantly eats itself! Known as #phagocytosis, it's where cells envelop and consume smaller cells to remove them from the system. Phagocytosis is not harmful and actually helps preserve your brain's functions. #STEMinAction #sciencefacts
#Ingenuity is the little helicopter on #Mars that @NASA hoped would fly just once... It flew 72 times & covered 17km! Here's an animation tracking the 1.8kg craft's path over nearly 2 years of guiding the #Perseverance rover on the Martian terrain. youtu.be/U7DFnNimSfw
Happy Earth Day! 🌍🌎🌏 Doesn't our blue marble look beautiful? 🙂 #EarthDay2024
20 SECONDS OF SCIENCE: A #cloud typically weighs around a million tonnes with a volume of around 1 cubic kilometre & a density of around 1.003 kilogrammes per cubic metre, around 0.4% lower than the air surrounding it - that's why it floats! #STEMinAction #sciencefacts #STEM
A quick stop in @blackrockcastle on my @CorkAstronomy visit today! ⭐🔭
20 SECONDS OF SCIENCE: There are 2 (main) types of blood vessels... Arteries carry blood from the #heart to the body, and veins carry #blood back to the heart. Swapping oxygen &CO2 at the lungs in between. Laid end to end your vessels would circle Earth 4 times! #STEMinAction
Making Bionic Hands that work using science with art and craft at my Easter Science Camp this past March. #STEMinAction #STEM Hosted in @BirrCastle with lots of other activities over the week.
20 SECONDS OF SCIENCE: A #platypus has electrical receptors in its snout. #Stargazer fish shoots #electricity from its eyes. Electric #rays can generate 220 volts to stun their prey. Electric #eels can generate 650 volts that can kill a human! #STEMinAction #STEM #scienceforkids
Excerpt from last week's radio interview about the #SolarEclipse - in video! Even though the eclipse has passed, we talk about safety when viewing the #Sun, important in any regard! Thanks to @103wf Faulkner and @Midlands103 for having me again. youtu.be/rrYovrYQSRM?si…
20 SECONDS OF SCIENCE: Sweating is your body's response to regulating temperature and keep your body at 37° Celcius. Your #feet have around 250,000 #sweat glands alone and can produce at least half a pint of sweat per day! #STEMinAction #scienceforkids #sciencefacts #STEM
20 SECONDS OF SCIENCE: Tiniest vertebrate! #Paedophryneamanuensis is the smallest #frog AND the smallest vertebrate on #Earth. An adult measures almost 8mm. It was only discovered in Papua New Guinea in 2009! #STEMinAction #sciencefacts #STEM #scienceforkids
20 SECONDS OF SCIENCE: Human #hair is made mostly of a protein called #keratin. It grows up to 13 millimetres a month & is remarkably strong, too. A head of human hair is strong enough to lift 12 tonnes of weight! #STEMinAction #sciencefacts #sciencecommunication #scienceforkids
Prof. Peter Higgs passed away. Awarded the 2013 Nobel prize for Physics for his revolutionary work showing how the Higgs boson helps bind the Universe together. First theorised in the 1960s & confirmed in 2012 by using the Large Hadron Collider at CERN. bbc.com/news/science-e…
20 SECONDS OF SCIENCE: #Saliva moistens food before swallowing, helps with digestion, keeps your mouth clean, and is a natural painkiller. It is also 98% #water. You will produce 1 to 1.5 litres of saliva per day! #STEMinAction #scienceforkids #STEM #sciencefacts #sciencecommunic
ON THIS DAY, April 12th... Exactly 20 years after #YuriGagarin's first space flight in 1961, @NASA launched the first-ever Space Shuttle flight in 1971 with #Columbia. April 12th is celebrated as #InternationalDayofHumanSpaceflight, or Yuri's Night. 🚀🧑🏽🚀
ON THIS DAY... 63 years ago on April 12th 1961, Russian cosmonaut #YuriGagarin sealed his place in history as the first human to leave Earth and enter space. His #Vostok 1 mission orbited the Earth for 'only' 108 minutes before safely touching down in southern Russia.
Day 15 of Lucy's fruit-powered clock. She brought this home from my Easter Science Camp in Birr Castle. The orange is not looking so appetising! #stem #steminAction #scienceforkids

@SeanieMorris @club_galway @MLSastronomy Georgia is fantastic. You’ll really enjoy her talk and come away inspired to act on light pollution.
Big thank you to @SeanieMorris for an excellent talk last week - "What was it REALLY like on Apollo 11?"
A very successful night for @offalycoco at the @LAMAAwards. I’m honoured to play a small part in the incredible work that Offaly is doing with STEAM through its schools, libraries and community centres. Thanks to all those that have supported us to make this programme a success!
Well done to our Robotics Club that participated in the Midlands Regional VEX Robotics Competition in Tullamore today. @EmoParish @PointatPort @offalycoco @VEXRobotics
First VEX Robotics competition @QUBelfast Thanks to Dr Cowan from @QUBSSESW, John Conaghan from @atu_ie and Dean from @offalycoco & @MTU_ie for putting this together. Maybe a team from @QUBelfast will get to @MTU_ie in 2025 and onto the world's in Texas. @hugh_mcglynn
Congrats to all teams in the VEX IQ and V5 comps held @ATUDonegal_ today & yesterday. A special thanks to @_GaryCullen & @worlds_worst who persevered after having to cancel these events due snow and storm Isha. @atu_ie @MTU_ie @OFlynnATU @hugh_mcglynn @offalycoco @VEXNorthWest
@SeanieMorris And that's why it's the twin of the KH-11 spy sat 😉
Jupiter close to the first quater moon this evening will be a wonderful sight. “Wonderous” was the view Galileo had in Jan 1610 as he observed the nightly changing aspect of the planet’s largest moons, while Simon Marius was to name them soon after. galileo.rice.edu/sci/observatio…
