So proud of the work done by this wonderful charity. Working hard to ensure that fewer and fewer families have to endure the pain of losing a baby. A decade old and going strong!

Pontius Pilate. How much do we really know about him? A podcast with @ancientstristan and Prof Helen Bond 🎧: podfollow.com/dan-snows-hist…
Today in 1016 Aethelred the Unready was succeeded by his son, Edmund Ironside. That's a massive epithet swing from lame to awesome.

By coincidence I have a podcast out today in which @TimHarford and I discuss marauding bands of Englishmen dealing with cavalry charges. Please listen to the story of Crécy right here: podfollow.com/dan-snows-hist…

I wonder if this band is expensive, obsolete and will sink into obscurity, utterly failing to meet very high expectations.
Huge honour to do some guesting on this brilliant pod. Long-time fan, first time caller.

As Alan adroitly discusses here, the economic benefits of Empire to Britain have been attested at exhaustive length by real economic historians for decades upon decades, & cannot be dismissed by fake economic historians working for dodgy dark-money lobbyists.

Amazing that a chip bricked in 46-yr-old Voyager I, preventing it from sending data, and NASA figured out how to split up and reallocate its functions to other hardware, sending code 15 billion miles away (45 hours round trip!)--and Voyager's back online. blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/0…

#HolidayReading1 Just finished shaking myself out of my steel navy comfort zone (@kejamieson_ take note) with Roger Knight's Convoys, what a fantastic read & throughly deserving of @NauticalHistory 's Anderson Prize. So many unexpected similarities with 20c convoy & escort work.
A carbonised scroll has reportedly been scanned to reveal the burial place of #Plato. It's in the Academy, as thought, but specifically in a garden near the shrine to the Muses. Also suggests Plato's capture took place c.12-15 years earlier than we thought greekreporter.com/2024/04/23/loc…

Voyager has travelled 15 billion miles in 47 years - going at about 35,000 miles an hour (50 per cent faster than the moon missions). At that speed it would take 80,000 years to reach the nearest star after the sun. (1st human writing c5500 years ago - pyramids c4500)
NASA has recently regained communication with Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object located 15.1 billion miles away. The Voyager probes, launched in 1977, continue to surpass their expected lifespans, venturing into the unknown realms of interstellar space.
