The AIP has expressed their deep concerns about proposed changes which would see Physics removed as a stand-alone discipline at the University of Newcastle.

There is a slow #solarstorm approaching the Earth, with models for the 🌍 arrival time ranging from early Sat Jul 26 to early Mon Jul 28 - a very wide range indeed! In SDO/SOHO images it is NOT the fast eruption to the right (look for a ☄️ there!), but a faint "halo" around the ☀️ on early July 23.

In 2025, Solar Orbiter gave us a first-ever look at the Sun’s south pole.
Remarkably, it found both north and south magnetic fields tangled together.
This is a sign that the Sun is at the peak of its 11-year activity cycle, when its magnetic poles are ready to flip...

Solar Orbiter gets world-first views of the Sun’s poles
Thanks to its newly tilted orbit around the Sun, the European Space Agency-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft is the first to image the Sun’s poles from outside the ecliptic plane. Solar Orbiter’s unique vi...

At the south pole, #SolarOrbiter discovered that the Sun’s magnetic field is currently a mess.
This image from the PHI instrument shows that there are currently different magnetic polarities (north and south) present at the south pole. This happens when the Sun’s magnetic field flips.

Premiers are squabbling for $$ because Aus is a low-tax country.
While the WA GST deal is bad, the bigger prob is trying to have Euro-style services while collecting US-like tax revenues.

‘How do they sleep at night?’ Allan and Minns governments, experts demand Albanese fix GST
The cost blowout stemming from Malcolm Turnbull and Scott Morrison’s special GST deal for WA is now the federal budget’s biggest and comparable only with the NDIS.

Shocked
Australian uni Vice-Chancellors are among the highest paid in the world.
You'll be shocked (*shocked*!!!) to discover that higher pay does not lead to a better student experience.
