For those solar folks in Boulder, keep 29 September free! - it's Boulder Solar Day!

This work has been a long time coming. So glad it is finally out! #middlecorona

Defining the #middlecorona paper was published! link.springer.com/article/10.100…. Thanks dan seaton phd 🏔🚴🏼‍♂️⛷☀️ @yeimyrivera_sol Dr. Bin Chen @DrZowie Amir Caspi, Ph.D. Karen Meyer @DavidBerghmans James Paul Mason Richard Morton Katariina Nykyri Dr. Ritesh Patel Sam Van Kooten Andrei Zhukov & others 4 the hard work!

The #AGU23 abstract deadline is approaching. Time to think about submitting an abstract to☀️SH033-Unravelling the Physics of the Middle Corona☀️looking forward to abstracts spanning the EM spectrum🌈incl: instruments, models, & observations (esp eclipse) agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/preli…

Playing around with polarized light coronagraph observations with Dr. Ritesh Patel to measure line of sight distances and velocities of solar eruptions. This is prototype software, but its getting there #spaceweather

For LaTeX users writing #Solar & #Heliospheric science papers 📜 I made a page for instrument citations: middlecorona.com/notthemiddleco… It may be useful, if you want me to add an instrument 🛰️🛰️, or make a change (apologies for errors) then let me know. I do this on a best effort basis.

Preparing for next week’s annular #eclipse ☀️🌖with dan seaton phd 🏔🚴🏼‍♂️⛷☀️ Dr. Ritesh Patel @DrZowie Amir Caspi, Ph.D.

Preparing the camera for the eclipse

The Sun 🌞 — our source of space weather ☔ — needs constant watching. Who knows what it’ll throw at us next? @ESA #Vigil ☀️👁️‍🗨️🌍. imgs.xkcd.com/comics/check_e…

Looking at X-ray Flux Monitors today—instruments that detect solar X-ray bursts. Used in #SpaceWeather☀️☔ studies to understand solar☀️flares that can disrupt comms📡, satellites & aviation✈️. Attached X-ray light curve from 2014 shows confined flares-no associated eruptions

Another day, another solar and heliophysics first — Observatory.be & European Space Agency created a unique eclipse in space! 🌍☀️🌘 The 1st🏅 formation-flying coronagraph: two spacecraft flying 150 m apart-perfectly aligned to block the Sun and reveal its hot corona More info: esa.int/Enabling_Suppo…

Recurrent, negative polarity coronal hole high speed stream influence is likely to bring minor to moderate geomagnetic storming 25-26 June.

There are multiple filaments (arches of cool plasma in the Sun’s atmosphere), currently on the Sun. Some are smaller, but others span HUGE longitudinal distances. If any of these erupt whilst facing Earth, we’d see strong geomagnetic storms as a result. Let’s wait and see!
