What UK tax do I pay on my overseas pension?
What UK tax do I pay on my overseas pension? | Low Incomes Tax Reform Group:
Q. "My overseas pension is taxable under UK domestic law. What about double tax agreements?
A: If you have established that your overseas pension is taxable in the UK under UK domestic law, the next step is to consider whether there is a double tax agreement between the UK and the country where the overseas pension is sourced, to see if it states that the UK’s right to tax that income is overridden. It will normally do this by stating that the pension income is only taxable in the other country. This means that it is not taxable in the UK – and a claim for relief under the agreement may be made if the UK wishes to tax it under its domestic law.

Are we alone? - NASA Science
Are we alone? - NASA Science: "Since the dawn of human civilization, humankind has looked to the stars and wondered if life, whether it be similar to our own or not, exists beyond our planet. Until 1992, when the first exoplanets were confirmed, it was uncertain whether there were even any planets outside of our own solar system. Today, thanks to the detailed data from the Astrophysics missions fleet, we now know of over 5,500 planets around other stars and thousands of other planet candidates. Of those confirmed exoplanets, roughly 50 small (roughly Earth-sized planets) orbit within their star’s habitable zone, where liquid water, which is essential for life as we know it, could potentially pool under the right conditions."
