Through the CU STEM Routes and Uplift program, Carina McCartney worked with NSO Dr. Reardon to study the recent solar eclipse with an 8' telescope. Now, she's headed home to Hawai'i to have an Akamai Internship with W. M. Keck Observatory, where she'll work with Keck's 10m telescopes!
Did any of you capture the aurora last night? Some of our colleagues did. It was caused by several major flares and filament eruptions as observed by NSF GONG earlier this week.

A rare Extreme G5 geomagnetic storm warning has been issued by NOAA - a first since 2003! The current #auroraborealis are fueled by flares, filament eruptions, and CMEs blasted from the Sun this week, as seen by this U.S. National Science Foundation GONG video. Where are you seeing the #northernlights ?
An X4.5 class #solarflare erupted yesterday, May 6, 2024, between 06:00 and 07:30 UT, making it one of the largest recorded this year! This explosive event was captured by the U.S. National Science Foundation GONG facility in Learmonth, Australia - check it out! #NSFfunded
Caroline Kennedy, U.S. Ambassador to Australia, toured the U.S. National Science Foundation GONG facility in Learmonth Australia to learn about GONG's six global telescopes, their role in supporting #spaceweather forecasting, and the importance of the next generation GONG facilities.

Congratulations to the National Solar Observatory team for a great open house at the AURA Annual Meeting!
The U.S. National Science Foundation Inouye Solar Telescope's groundbreaking VTF instrument completed a remarkable expedition from Freiburg, Germany, to Maui, Hawai'i, marking a new and exciting milestone in the Inouye's observing capabilities. #NSFfunded #InouyeSolarTelescope nso.edu/blog/vtf-2/
The U.S. National Science Foundation Inouye Solar Telescope released a video taken during Maui's partial solar eclipse that helps characterize the telescope's systems. This data, acquired with one of its support cameras, briefly shows the moving lunar edge during the eclipse. ow.ly/ZjrH50RgEzL
NSO scientists, educators, partner organizations, and volunteers are here in Eagle Pass, Texas, celebrating the Sun ahead of the Total Solar Eclipse! #SolarEclipse2024
Today is the day - wishing you all clear skies for the 2024 Total Solar Eclipse! ☀️🌑🌎 Grab your #eclipse glasses, tag us in your eclipse day photos, and tune in live for our eclipse livestream with the U.S. National Science Foundation. Happy viewing! ow.ly/eEzc50RanJ1 #SolarEclipse2024
Vive el eclipse solar total que ocurrirá en el hemisferio norte este lunes 8 de abril. No lo podremos ver desde el cielo de Chile, pero disfrútalo a través de la transmisión en vivo de nuestro centro National Solar Observatory en conjunto con U.S. National Science Foundation
