Wer verrät der #Union, dass Sonne und Wind nicht durch die Straße von Hormus müssen? 🤔

Spoiler: RWE und E.ON werden es nicht machen 🤬

The bots and their parts are scattered about behind her, one is grasped firmly in her robot hand. In her other hand is the pistol pointed right at the lens.

The #sun releases a constant stream of charged particles, the #solarwind. But coronal holes send concentrated fast solar wind in a more particular direction. When a #coronalhole aligns with Earth, the fast solar wind comes our way. That's what's expected to happen this week:

Sebastian Hawke, a heavily armored spaceman holding a two-pronged plasma spear, apparently floating in midair. The entire piece is unshaded, solid colors and outlines. Makes my watermark stand out very obviously in the corner.

Honestly I was in the mood for a new desktop background.

The slightly younger Iris Thorne, in her shorts and cropped jacket. She's holding up the crude robotic hand to her face. With the staticky vignette and her action hero pose, the only thing this picture is missing is some movie poster overlays.

A silhouetted group of people gathered to watch the Aurora over Harthead pike, a local landmark tower. The hilltop has been used as a beacon since at least Roman times, when it’s prominent position was a useful strategic site. This tower was built 1863 and used to contain a sweet shop!!

Globe of Earth as seen from above. Green and red areas are located over Canada and many US states.

A stream of fast #solarwind from our star caused G2 (moderate) geomagnetic storming last night, triggering #auroras at northerly latitudes. More storming – and more auroral activity – is possible tonight. Read today's #sun news:

A Spacecraft Flew Closer to the Sun Than Ever – and Is Rewriting a Century-Old Mystery Close-up measurements from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe are giving scientists an unprecedented look at how the solar wind gains energy and speeds away from the sun.

#SpaceTalk #Sun - Close-up data from #ParkerSolarProbe 
is helping scientists uncover how #SolarWind is heated & accelerated, improving predictions of space weather & deepening insight into  plasma behavior around the sun & beyond.

Using joint observations from the Tianwen-1 in the solar wind and MAVEN in the induced magnetosphere, Lin et al. clearly identified a magnetic barrier between Mars’ ionosphere and shocked solar wind under the radial IMF for the first time.

California’s Wind Energy: A Missed Opportunity - Cozzy Energy Solutions California's progress in transitioning to clean electricity has been largely driven by solar energy, but the state’s wind energy development has significantly lagged behind. Emissions from California’s electricity sector are decreasing after a period of increases, with solar responsible for nearly all of the state's clean energy advancements over the past decade. This early investment

We're finishing up the rollout of Version 0j of the #PUNCH data, and several very cool science papers are in progress. Here's a very cool result on #Comet #Lemmon and the #solarwind! 🔭☀️🛰️🧪

The results show that multiscale magnetic reconnection in the heliospheric current sheet heats and accelerates plasma, driving the formation of the young slow solar wind.

Ever wondered how the #SolarWind gets its start?

A new study from #PekingUniversity introduces a novel “see and touch” approach that links coronal streamer blobs to high-density solar wind jets using combined remote-sensing observations and Parker Solar Probe measurements.

There is still more #polarlights in Austria visible on webcams, as there is fast #solarwind with weak magnetic fields pointing southward. May not last the whole night and the show will not be as strong as yesterday for sure, but there is some extra #aurora for today!

Auroras do not sit at the poles. They gather in oval bands near 65° to 75° geomagnetic latitude, widening toward the equator when storms grow strong. ✨

Why do these ovals widen during storms? ↓ Explore more in the article

This is likely the strongest near-Earth #solarwind magnetic field I have ever seen in my career - 90.6 nT total field, and perfectly northward 61.7 nT Bz component. If this is the main flux rope, the north and west pointing field is consistent with the right handed source region - Bz would stay > 0!

What business do they have with this study? 😆

As it turns out, fuckin none lol. Dana says some of the craziest shit I’ve ever heard, but I can tell I have a crush on her bc my reaction is, “Omg that’s charming! I should subscribe to IOWA NEWS on YouTube.” 🤣 I’m pitiful y’all

I did, though. I did subscribe. What, is it BAD to be informed about… Iowa?

Good grief 😅

I clicked on this #WeAreIowa5 #news segment to make fun of it (why’s #IA #localnews tackling studies about #solarwind??), and I was not disappointed, bc Dana Searles says literally the craziest things I’ve ever heard re: #science, but I was low-key super charmed by Dana 😅

That coronal holes southern end ends up at group 4336 with a b-g-d configuration and that group is ‘spot’ on aimed at us…🤞🏼

Iris kneeling on top of a dazed Zack, one of her leg blades at his throat, a hand pulls his neck against the blade, her finger guns on the other are aimed at his head. Her entire face is in deep shadow, allowing her eye to grow bright within that void.

Recreation of the final punch of the Jake Paul vs Anthony Joshua fight, with Zack and Max respectively. Behind Zack, his robots are sprawled out on the floor.

This is an artist's concept of the Alfvén surface: the outer boundary of the sun's #atmosphere, where the #solarwind becomes fast enough to escape our star's magnetic grasp. Astronomers announced that they've produced a #map of this uncharted territory:

Max quickly snapping his fist back from a punch so fast and hard, it created a visible shockwave. His poor victim was a basic Zack bot's midsection, exploding in a spray of sparks, wires, gears, and springs. That move probably saved Max from being shot in the face.

Chesto!!
