Under current climate policies, 79 per cent of the world’s glaciers will disappear by 2100, endangering the water supply for 2 billion people and raising sea levels dramatically
The world will soon be losing 3000 glaciers every year

New results from the International Gemini Observatory 🔭 on interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS, in which it continues to do fun cometary things! The new spectrum confirms 3I/ATLAS is actively emitting CN, C3, and C2 gases, plus a visible dust fan. www.astronomerstelegram.org?read=17503

This just in: a NASA telescope may have just "seen" #darkmatter for the first time! By exploring the Milky Way's galactic halo and using the latest data, a team of researchers detected high-energy gamma rays extending towards the center of the Milky Way.

Early instrumental climate reconstructions (pre-1850) struggle with sparse measurements and have large uncertainties.
But they do provide some insights into a particularly interesting period.
Four major volcanic eruptions occurred 1780-1840, each larger than anything since.

There have been many substorms over the past nights as well. In fact, we may have experienced a "sawtooth event" last night which can happen under steady Bz south conditions. Learn more about this special magnetospheric mode: go.theauroraguy.com/october2024s...

A #solarstorm, likely a CME flank hit, is causing geomagnetic disturbances (current Dst = -118 nT).
Bz dropped to -17 nT but has since turned northward ➡️ probably no aurora in Europe tonight.
Hoping high-latitude regions still in darkness get a good show! 💫🌌
