The moment you crash a @BBC_TopGear interview without realising 😂. I'd just followed this incredible Lamborghini up the hill at Goodwood Festival of Speed on a @UKTriumph Daytona 765 and was curious to find out more. Sorry for the interruption guys! @fosgoodwood
What a race in incredibly challenging conditions. Congratulations to Christian Blummenfelt of 🇳🇴 & @Lixsanyee on your silver for #TeamGB . Great work Alex 👍👋🇬🇧

There’s a cracking @Space_Station pass coming up in less than 20mins over Northern Europe. In the #UK, from west to east almost directly overhead London. Starts at 22:49 BST for over 6 mins. 🔭#SpotTheStation
2Some more great passes of the @Space_Station tonight over Europe. Timings here are for the UK; 1st is at 21:59 hrs BST. Most of what you see on these passes is sunlight reflecting off the giant solar panels that provide power to the station. 1/2
