  2. Solar prominences are massive, densely packed structures of relatively cool plasma that extend for thousands of kilometers into the Sun's exceptionally hot outer atmosphere, the corona.

  3. 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 🌞

  4. Magnetic reconnection is an explosive physical process wherein magnetic field lines converge, break apart, and reconnect, converting magnetic energy into the kinetic energy that accelerates particles outward from the Sun.

  5. Dr. Kai Yang is a solar physics researcher focused on the Sun's dynamic activity. His work investigates the mechanisms of coronal heating, the complex magnetic topology that structures the corona, and the instabilities that trigger solar and stellar flares.

  7. WAS welcomes back Dr. Lisa Upton (SwRI) for her 3rd lecture with us! How well did we predict Solar Cycle 25; and what comes next? Join us March 17 at 8PM in the Westport Observatory's classroom (we'd love to see you!) and if you can't join us there watch live on YouTube, or via a Zoom webinar.

  8. Could a powerful geomagnetic storm be the reason 8,000 Victorian homes suddenly lost power in January this year?

    I had a chat with Dr Richard Marshall from Australian Bureau of Meteorology Space Weather about the origin of solar storms and the risks they present to our communities and critical infrastructure.

    So great to be able to have such fantastic and professional insights about these important events and how we, as a society, need to mitigate against them.

  12. How a solar radiation storm created January 2026’s aurora The first good auroral show of 2026 began not with a solar flare nor a coronal mass ejection, but a solar radiation (particle) storm. It's the first big one since 2003! bigthink.com/starts-with-... #space #particle #sun #astro #heliophysics
