Beautiful plasma eruption from flare M2.0-9.10.25

"Eruption occurred behind NW limb of☀️.Most likely culprit was AR13236, once again AR wake up at or behind the limbs.Due toCME occurring behind limb,an🌎directed component is highly unlikely"

Solar Flare Leaves Sun Quaking
📸 The first known sunquake, recorded by SOHO on July 9, 1996

Scientists have shown for the first time that solar flares produce seismic waves in the Sun's interior that closely resemble those created by earthquakes on our planet.

Here is a fantastic summary by @fcain.universetoday.com of all the important and interesting findings that have been published about #3I/Atlas.
And surprise surprise, none of them indicate that its an alien spaceship! 🔭

What is causing poor #AirQuality in #Milan ?😷

(1/2)🧵
Milan’s poor air quality stems from its spot in Italy’s Po Valley, wedged between the Alps & Apennines. The fertile plains host dense industry & farms, producing 35% of Italy’s crops plus bricks & tiles — but also major emissions.🚜🏭🔥 #MilanSmog

Two nights of 3:45am alarms, blazing full moon lighting the sky like daytime and washing out the light of everything else, comet included. Then two days of post-processing battles, as comet processing is maddeningly tricky.

But I finally pulled it off: here is C/2025 A6 Lemmon. 🔭

On September 27, 2025, Hurricane Humberto reached its peak intensity as a Category Five hurricane well northeast of Puerto Rico on its journey across the western Atlantic Ocean. The polar orbiting satellite Suomi-NPP captured a spectacular view of the clear eye of Humberto. (1/5)

This image of Hurricane Humberto contains the visible (band I1) product from the S-NPP weather satellite from 17:10 UTC on 2025-09-27.
