Peter Lewis #StormHour #ThePhotoHour Met Office Matt Taylor I'll look out for #aurora tonight. This plot says it could increase. The recent Aurora Borealis structure from my garden May last yr, was unpredictable & like a pale ribbon, whereas in October it had more colour. My 2 diagrams from yrs ago. #NorthernLights aurorawatch.lancs.ac.uk/plots/?project…

I've 2 books by superb thinker Sir Professor Roger Penrose & recently wrote a general thread about his theories (in screenshot & link) refering to those 2 books. He is my favourite scientist & his theories are a good balance of established mathematicalphysics science & creativity

I didn't see the #AuroraBorealis Aurora Borealis #NorthernLights last night but it was cloudy & I only checked through a window. The Sun still seems active with #Sunspot systems occasionally facing Earth, so there could be more space weather resulting in a chance to see it again.

I've yet to find a day with this #sunlight effect (refer to link quoted & photo here from the #Apollo11 event where I say I was incubating in my Mum's tummy until later in yr 1969 when I was born!) & must've been incredible to see this on TV. Next month will have same weather...

2nd night I'm looking for #Aurora #aurora K-index 7. From #SolarFlare to #solarstorm but does this 1 have a high ACE EPAM proton rate? Here's a quick sketch of the #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis I did on my mobile phone a while ago using my imagination. #sunspot #Geoscience #CME

I think of my time here as way of volunteering to contribute to society. From 1 angle I get why ppl wouldn't do it as an amateur for free & not get paid but I also think doing something for free puts motive on intrinsic value from the activity.I'm also learning & sharing my ideas

I don't just write it down but research it then science write it - often as threads here & now Bluesky. This way, I'm contributing my thoughts, ideas & theories & learning at the same time. I don't post rubbish.

I've just followed this account Institute of #Physics Publishing on Bluesky, as they say this isn't their primary platform now. I'm wondering how yesterday's news will affect how ppl use accounts on this platform. I don't mind using both as they provide value in different ways.

Test post! No reason in particular but I can see who I'm following (the whole list) again! I couldn't access it for a while, either on my mobile app nor my main computer browser. Tried a different 1 on mobile & it's better. It wasn't obvious to me at 1st & depends on browser

Here's the full version vid of my science bookshelf I did yrs ago so I've linked to it directly instead from my album. Due to the file size limits on this platform now, I can't upload the original any more & if I crop it here 1st, it still doesn't upload. photos.app.goo.gl/4FYzFfhSjN5CJN…

What a great example of a young person who's a superb asset to the company. Booths is my favourite shop & my local is housed in a clean new building that has some wonderful (I think pine) trees outside its unique entrance. The staff are friendly & helpful & goods are top quality.

I do occasionally write about more mainstream subjects - here's a thread on my hometown. Screenshot is of a quoted link belonging to it of another of my threads of similar themes but incl differences between educational & life expectations in my town compared to others in the UK.

Peach Moon Probably a result of a mixture of Saharan Sand, the Canadian wildfires & Mount Etna's volcanic eruption creating an unusual dusty atmosphere that's arrived in Europe. My old mobile phone doesn't do it justice though. The true colour & effect is Lunartastic! Go look!

Yep, Roger Muncaster physics text book should be familiar w ex students. I've got 2 A Brief History of Time books as both ppl who got me them didn't know I already had 1 copy frm other person. Could I screenshot ur reply for my Bluesky account to + to a copy of this thread there?
