Astronomy (and Particle Physics) Lookalikes, No. 39
Well, having got the positive discrimination out of my system (at least for today), I’ll add just one more. I’ve always been struck by the similarity between distinguished former Chief Executive of PPARC, current Chief Executive of the Scottish Universities Physics Alliance and President of the European Research Council, Professor Ian Halliday and actor Jim Broadbent.

Is there a way one can easily look at all 39 Astronomy lookalikes without clicking back through all the months?
I pretty sure the WALL-E one can never be beaten but I’d just like to check.

You can find all the posts in a particular category by looking at, e.g.,

and likewise with other categories if you wish…

Perfect, thank you. Although it was also fun looking through some older posts in general.
No. 4, Brian Cox was also pretty inspired! And no.3 – well they really are just the same person!!
Excellent work.
(ps.You mention comments policy today – the disclaimer on the right hand side of the blog has, I know, gone through several iterations but I think it should be “too abusive” or “to be abusive”)

Thanks for that. I’ve corrected it now. As you will have noticed, I’m probably the world’s worst proof-reader!
