Waves are everywhere around us. From the sub-nano scale of atoms to the vastness of the universe, we receive signals that are superpositions of waves.

As many have pointed out, the LASCO images on the SOHO website are saturated. So this is the result of my own algo for processing them.

And I will echo my sentiments from yesterday: This. Comet. Is. RIDICULOUS! 🤩😍 ☄️🔭☀️

Late last year I started a series of posts on science with DKIST Cryo-NIRSP. In this post I discuss my initial experiences of working with the data and show some of its features.

This should nicely lead into the new science posts I am planning in the next few weeks.

This is the first in a series of posts in which I explore the new data from the Cryo-NIRSP instrument at DKIST, providing unprecedented views of the Sun's corona!

I wanted to start with a brief explanation of how we investigate the Sun using different instruments. ☀️🧪

Hello all on @bsky.app. This is my first post since switching from X. Apart from saying hello I also wanted to share a journey... For the last 9 months or so I have been working with the new data coming from the Danial K. Inouye Solar Telescope and we've found some pretty interesting results. ☀️
