  1. ☀️ Sometimes, the Sun tries to erupt — and fails.

    Observations from multiple spacecraft captured a solar eruption as it rose, only to be stopped by the magnetic field above it.

    What can a failed eruption teach us about the Sun and space weather?

  2. #NASAWatch:
    "
    Help Save New Horizons Heliophysics
    "
    "New Horizons plans to shut down both key heliophysics instruments for a lack of $2 million per year starting in FY 2027. A petition has been established to bring this to wider attention and add back this funding."

  3. #StormWall is a proposed space-based defense system designed to temporarily fortify Earth's magnetosphere against damaging space weather, such as solar flares and geomagnetic storms. By releasing specific chemical elements at the edge of Earth's protective magnetic bubble, the system aims to deflect harmful solar energy safely past the planet.

  4. Posting in the Fediverse since last week: @uksolarphysics! 🇬🇧 ☀️

    The UK Solar Physics community (UKSP) is a Specialist Scientific Group affiliated to the Royal Astronomical Society. They regularly provide relevant news and nuggets both to their members as well as the international solar physics community at large via uksolphys.org/

    If you're interested in the research of the Sun, our closest star, at all, consider following them for their announcements either at uksolphys.org/news/recent-news, or via their UKSP newsletter (mailing list), or now directly here via their Mastodon account @uksolarphysics

    Maybe don't expect them to interact a lot, but if you *are* here for their very useful announcements, it is now really easy to follow and also boost those. So, a warm welcome to @uksolarphysics 🌞

  7. Stunning images of the journey of the Sunrise III telescope taken by IRIS-2 a video and imaging instrument built by a Spanish team of enthusiastic amateur astronomers, engineers, and technicians.

    The balloon-borne telescope traveled from Sweden to Canada more than 6,500 km at an altitude of about 40 km in six days.

  8. Mission 740N, the NASA balloon transporting onboard the SUNRISE III Solar Telescope has been terminated at 18:20 UTC today.

    Payload is probably on the ground now in a spot located east of Fort Good Hope, a charter community in the Sahtu Region of the Northwest Territories, Canada.

    Total flight time was 6 days and 15 hours.
