    Ad astra, Patrick Stewart ✨

    I've met many of the cast of Star Trek – The Next Generation over the years, but unfortunately I never had the chance to meet him.

    I hope he knew how influential that programme was across astronomy – it's no coincidence that the observatory now known as JWST was originally and for many years called the Next Generation Space Telescope.

    My email folder spanning almost thirty years involvement is still named "ngst".
