The international meeting to commemorate 125 years of the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory IIAstrophysics got underway this morning iin Bengaluru. Annapurni Subramaniam Abhay Karandikar and Shri Kiran Kumar spoke about India's rich legacy of studying the Sun ☀️ and opportunities of future ground

The Kodaikanal Solar Observatory is the oldest astronomical observatory in India. It is one of few solar observatories of the world which provides an opportunity to study long-term variations in the Sun's activity over a century scale. Established in the year 1899 it is managed

Thank you for the opportunity to present my work and many thanks to #SWATNetProject

Had an incredible week full of engaging discussions and fun at the #Sun, #SpaceWeather, and Solar-Stellar Connection Conference in Bangalore, hosted by IIAstrophysics , celebrating 125 years of the Kodaikanal Solar Observatory. Honoured to present my work with #SWATNet Project!"

Repairs are ongoing, but there’s progress! 🔨 A flooding incident in November 2024 caused a data outage, but now some data from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory and full data from NASA’s Interface Region Imaging Spectrograph have been restored. More: go.nasa.gov/42JJPOn

Talent has no gender, but opportunities do. In the EU – only 34% of researchers are women. Our SheFigures report is clear: the gender gap is real. We need to change that—not because it’s fair, but because Europe’s future depends on it. See the report here europa.eu/!HtThX3

No ❕the Sun was not responsible for the recent European power grid failure. I am a scientist specialising in solar physics and space weather. I should know. This is not even in the gray zone, we are absolutely certain #spaceweather had nothing to do with this.
