New blog post: Magnetosphere, Bz, & plasma, o my! 😮 The language of aurora science can be a learning curve for newbies, so we’ve created a list of some of the most common terms at a beginner level. Read more and please share! 🦕✨ Photo: ChristyTurnerPhoto/Aurora Media blog.aurorasaurus.org/?p=1555

Have you ever wondered what the Sun is made of? The Sun is not a great ball of fire. It’s made of plasma, a state of matter made up of atoms that have broken down into ions and electrons. Plasma is rare on Earth but it makes up over 99% of all observable matter in the universe.

It’s that time again… For ~two weeks every two years, the Sun lines up between Mars and Earth, blocking reliable communication. For Mars robots, this solar conjunction means a break from new commands. Have a great vacation, NASA's Perseverance Mars Rover & friends! go.nasa.gov/2XX6ffH

Earth sails the solar wind in a ship of its own making: the magnetosphere, the magnetic field that envelops and protects our planet. ⛵️ New research using NASA data shows unexpected waves in the magnetosphere that form in response to the solar wind. nasa.gov/feature/goddar…

NASA’s #LucyMission is on its way to the Trojan asteroids, which formed when our Sun was but a wee baby star. 👶 ☀️ But the Trojans have changed since then -- partly from the Sun’s influence. More on our Sun’s effect on these ancient asteroids: go.nasa.gov/3bxsKLI

Citizen science can help answer questions like "why was last night's aurora so wild?" Please help us fill the map with backdated aurora reports that scientists can compare with satellite data, so we can all learn more! Pass it on! 🦕✨

It's never safe to look directly at the Sun — but you can create a solar viewer at home so you can safely observe our star! Download this activity from UA Fairbanks Museum of the North so the whole family can learn about the Sun: bit.ly/3k3OZO6
