  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. 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.

  3. I’m working on a grant for a #crossgenerational #colearning project involving #bipoc youth and I’m issuing the following challenge: Tell me about a time when you learned something new and exciting from a young, BIPOC, person or student. What was it? How did they teach you? #blacksinstem #stem #stemm #steam #blacksinscience #blackmasodon #physics #astrophysics #heliophysics #hamsci
