Congratulations to Dr. Frank Hill for your contributions during your many years National Solar Observatory! Dr Heidi B. Hammel Valentin Martinez Pillet Matt Mountain

The latest #SOLARNET call for time on the SST and THEMIS is now out! A great chance to obtain high-quality data of the Sun's atmosphere for your research. solarnet-project.eu/call-for-propo… (Sunspot image from the SST)

Meeting time! PRE-EST Executive Committee (in the picture) met this morning in Prague. It's the first in a series meetings taking place this week: #SOLARNET and #PRE-EST board meetings and #EAST General Assembly. So excited! (more info on the meetings at asu.cas.cz/est/en-2/board…)

See all these men and women? They are the members of the EST Scientific Advisory Group, the team responsible for developing science cases and identifying the key scientific requirements of the telescope; requirements that will later be developed by EST engineers. #ESTinPrague

A new #SOLARNET school will take place at the Mullard Space Science Laboratory (UK) on March 23-27, 2020. Applications are opened until February 25, 2020. Find everything about applications, student support and programme schedule at solarnet-project.eu/A-holistic-vie…

Our new paper on global helioseismology of the Sun's interior rotation is published: iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384… The differential rotation profiles on the northern and southern hemispheres are different as our analysis of eigenfunction perturbations shows.

By the way... did you see the very interesting paper that we just published on the interaction of helioseismic waves and sunspots? iopscience.iop.org/article/10.384… Congratulations Matthias for your first refereed publication!

All good things come in threes. We have a very productive start of the year. See the paper by Vigeesh G. and me on synthetic observations of internal gravity waves in the solar atmosphere: aanda.org/articles/aa/ab…

To all the solar science folks on Twitter - we would love to hear what you think! Only 3 days left!! If you haven't already, please consider contributing to the #SOLARNET survey. If you have, maybe you can share with friends and colleagues 😉

This is one of the reasons why we need a full view on the entire Sun.

Great idea!

Would it be possible to detect the formation of sunspots inside the Sun before they appear on the solar surface? That is the promise of helioseismology. A new post in our #TheScienceOfESt series. est-east.eu/est/index.php?…

Spotted this interesting presentation on the survival of bacteria in air: Science Media science-media.org/presentation/1…

The work on SPRING - a new ground-based network for solar physics - is making great progress: See our collection of interesting presentations from the SPRING workshop. science-media.org/conference/47

The EST cartoon series is now available in German. Watch the first episode at science-media.org/auth/content/v…

The snowy mountains of the Pyrenees host the Pic du Midi Observatory. Our brave solar astronomer Ms. Prominence is ready to use CLIMSO and the Jean Rösch telescope to observe the Sun. But, would that be enough...? You'll find out soon in Solar Mission EST - the videogame!

More than 300 students from 10 European countries have already registered for our contest "The Sun at a glance"! Teachers, don't miss this chance! The deadline is October 30 😉 est-east.eu/contest-partic…
