A look into the “GREGOR Observations Center” GOC at MPS Göttingen during this month’s remote campaign at the GREGOR Solar Telescope, located on Tenerife. Many great active regions and sunspots, but unfortunately clouds obstructed our view. Hoping for better conditions for our August campaign together with Solar Orbiter 🛰️ 🔭🤞

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.

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 https://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 https://uksolphys.org/news/recent-news-summary/, 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 🌞

It's Gänseliesel day in Göttingen! Freshly minted PhD graduate Johannes Hölken attended the official ceremony at the Aula, has been picked up by us and ferried to the Gänseliesel fountain in the city center, and is about to bring the goose girl on the top of the fountain some flowers. Meanwhile, other carts around us are also interesting to look at!

‪Here are some great shots from our #GREGORSolarTelescope observation campaign in July. Peering into the #photosphere and #chromosphere, we caught several emerging active regions – and a #flare! This will help us study the plasma dynamics in active regions and how energy builds up to create a flare.
