(3/3) "The sky literally began to rain shooting stars. Everywhere we turned we saw them. ... By 4.30 there were several hundred per minute. At 4.45 the meteors were so intense we guessed how many were seen ba a sweep of the head in one second. The fantastic rate of about 40 per

. @ESA_Smile will address three fundamental questions: 1️⃣ What happens where the solar wind meets Earth’s magnetic shield? 2️⃣ What causes magnetic glitches on the dark side of Earth? 3️⃣ How can we predict the most dangerous space weather threats? 3/ #CM25

. @ESA_Smile will be the first mission to take X-ray images of Earth’s magnetosphere, revealing exactly when, where and how the solar wind interacts with Earth’s magnetic environment. To complement this, Smile will continuously image the northern & southern lights in

Our new paper about possibilities of Open GPS data platform led by @MiladMzdh is out :)
Have you ever found out after your GPS tracking study that someone had already collected similar data? Or struggled to find collaborators? We’ve been there. That’s why we created OpenGPS. https://t.co/gZbLpPKOqd

There's been lots of aurora lately. It's actually dancing right at this moment. If you want to learn how to photograph the show you can download my guide here: https://t.co/3cAZD7qWRF And pay whatever you think it's worth here 🙏 💚 https://t.co/9vHyOqEYhK

Ever think about the immense dimensions of #aurora? The blue/purple aurora that we all saw on 10-11 May 2024 reached 700-900 km high, maybe more (potentially a lot more). That's the size of some countries! Nearly 100x as high as airliners! 6-9 hrs by car. Huge!
