And lastly, congratulations to Professor Caitriona Jackman, of @DIASDunsink, for being awarded an Honorary Fellowship for her "outstanding service and leadership of planetary magnetospheric physics in Ireland, the UK, and internationally". 🥳 👏

Well done to all the very deserving winners this year, especially all the awardees from the MIST community. We are incredibly proud to have such a research-active community with so many excellent researchers and all their colleagues who nominate! 🤩

🏅AWARDS ANNOUNCEMENT🏅 This year's @RoyalAstroSoc Gold Medal, the Society’s highest honour, has been awarded to Professors James Binney, of @UniofOxford, and Jonathan Tennyson, of @ucl. Congratulations! 🎉👏 #RASAwards2025

The Group Award in Geophysics goes to the Met Office Space Weather Research Team for their outstanding achievements in advancing space weather research. Well done! #RASAwards2025

The Fowler Award in Geophysics goes to Dr John Coxon, of @NorthumbriaUni, for his world leading and novel research on the distribution and dynamics of field-aligned currents in near-Earth space. Congratulations! 🥳 #RASAwards2025

Dr Nigel Meredith, of the @BAS_News, receives the Chapman Medal, which is awarded for investigations of outstanding merit in the science of the Sun, space and planetary environments or solar-terrestrial physics. He said he was "delighted and deeply honoured".

Here we go @MIST_UK Autumn 2024!! So many people!!! 🎉🎉

Packed venue in Birmingham for today’s Autumn @MIST_UK meeting 😀 #magnetosphere #ionosphere #solar #terrestrial

@MSSLSpacePlasma is at the Autumn @MIST_UK meeting in Birmingham today. Our PhD student Charalambos Ioannou is now talking about his study of compressive waves in the solar wind.

Good morning to all The MISTy people who are up early to make their way to Birmingham for the annual #AutumnMIST. This is the first year where we are holding it outside of London and we are excited to welcome the MIST community for a day of science! 🤩

Day 2 of Orbyts Fellows Introductory Training is underway! Our lovely Heads of Teaching and Learning @AbbieBrayPhys and @thechristianlao leading the session! Exciting to see so many in-person and online 🧍‍♂️💻✨

📣 Announcement 📣 We're delighted to reveal that we have officially signed a 999-year lease on our London headquarters, having agreed a deal with the Government earlier this year to transfer the building's ownership. Read more about what it means here: https://t.co/F0lWpJyU3H

We have TWO new IAGA blogs! First we have a summary from the @UKSolarPhysics and @MIST_UK Introductory course on Solar and Solar-Terrestrial Physics: https://t.co/u3NxhI4GKU Then, we have updates from the @ESA_JUICE mission and the Jovian system: https://t.co/mWgFdGOnRU

This one is a bit of a throw-back from the summer..bear with us as we get going with the new academic year! 👉 For further information, check out our nuggets:

They show that Io’s atmosphere extends more on the dayside than the nightside of Io. Globally it also appears to be extending further than 1800 km from Io’s surface.

With this, they investigated the atmosphere of Jupiter’s volcano moon Io.

🚨🚨MIST Nugget Alert🚨🚨 @Hans_Huybrighs from @DIAS_Dublin and @DIASDunsink used measurements from NASA’s historic Galileo spacecraft and particle models.
