This is like a big deal story.

A320s are an extremely popular aircraft.

That is *a lot* of flights — and a lot of people impacted.

Cursed G2V stellar object.

More like a wrathful Ra!

3I/ATLAS, the interstellar comet passing through our solar system, might have been radically transformed by cosmic rays over billions of years, altering it so thoroughly that we may never be able to work out where it came from.

The surface of comet 3I/ATLAS may have been so radically altered by cosmic rays that deducing its home star system would be impossible

THE GOLDEN COMET IS FALLING APART (2) Last week, California astronomer Dan Bartlett pointed his telescope at golden comet C/2025 K1 (ATLAS) to capture a close encounter with the Leo Triplet of galaxies. He quickly realized something was wrong spaceweathergallery2.com/indiv_upload...

🔭 Alors que sur Terre, on pouvait observer de belles aurores boréales ces derniers jours ; la même éruption solaire a temporairement aveuglé le télescope spatial Euclid 😅

Those were beautiful #aurorae in the past days. A solar storm brought a lot of protons to Earth. Not only to Earth but also to #ESAEuclid – but does #Euclid notice? Oh yes.

This is wild! Here is a mosaic image combining satellite passes from NOAA 21, Suomi NPP, and NOAA 20 showing the auroral oval very extended during the geomagnetic storm earlier this week. I have annotated where the typical auroral oval rests over the north geomagnetic pole.

one thing we should, but probably won’t, take away from the Epstein emails is that it’s a massive risk to tie academic funding to philanthropy

NASA's just-launched ESCAPADE mission is trying out a novel trajectory to Mars, one that's slower but allows much more flexible launch dates. The flight path also provides a bonus science session at the L2 equilibrium point near Earth. 🧪🔭

🌍 Splendide photo satellite au-dessus du pôle Nord montrant les aurores boréales des dernières nuits 😍
Circling the world over the last couple of nights, the aurora borealis put on quite a spectacular show in the sky of the northern hemisphere.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS is fragmenting on its way back out from the Sun. 🧪🔭

Check out this crazy mosaic image of the auroral oval from space on the night of Nov 11-12!

You an can see just how extended the oval was due to the impressive solar storm that impacted and delivered a G4 (Kp 9-) geomagnetic storm - the third strongest of solar cycle 25!

So tonight has potential for great aurora viewing in most of the US.

With this latest X5 CME, I would not be surprised to see an upgrade to a G4 SEVERE geomagnetic storm watch from NOAA SWPC for Nov 12 and an extension of the overall watch into Nov 13. We will see...

The Sun just produced an X5.1 class #SolarFlare. This is the largest flare of 2025 so far, and 6th largest of the past two years. It triggered a strong ‘Radio Blackout’ and moderate ‘Solar Radiation Storm’ at Earth, and released what is most likely an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection!

We are doubling the irradiation dose at airplane altitude over the poles... I wish that happened last August when I was doing measurements over there (it is still low doses, nothing to worry about at these altitudes)

This could be interesting!
(I wish I lived a little north from my place)
This CME is really stunning. In CCOR-1, you can see the blast surrounding the occulting disk in the center in what we call a "full halo." When this happens, if the source region is on the Earth-facing disk, we know the CME is coming at Earth.

Here is the X5.1 flare in straight EUV light. We are looking at the 193 Å "gold" filter here. The flare is the bright flash, and immediately, you can see a giant blast wave racing through the Sun's corona, lifting tons of plasma into space as an Earth-directed CME.

We just got a large X5.1 flare and we have a S2 radiation storm (nothing to worry about, but very interesting to study)
