Space Weather/rocket launch
China is about to launch Long March 8 Flight 7 (Solar Sail mission) straight into a solar storm.
Good luck! Watch live:

These stars are giving me Capella vibes...only in this close-up view, they're being visited by explorers. Our descendants in the not-so-distant future, or perhaps aliens today, imagining what secrets are waiting to be revealed on a small rocky planet 40 light-years beyond their reach...
From yours truly, "Reach for the suns".

I know I've shared this one a lot lately, but so help me I just love the energy of this piece, which I've been playing around with a bit; lo, a slightly softer and brighter version of my sci-fi caprice "Reach for the Light" (yes, those are solar sails in silhouette).

They might look "buggy", but hexagons are a real shape proposed for solar sails...and it looks like this fleet is going to take advantage of some serious radiation pressure, as they "Reach for the Suns".
Painting by me.

Oh I'm sure it'd take the mother of all tinted windows to stop it from blinding you, but imagine being on a solar sail, making a fly-by to gain speed to your final destination, and then seeing *this* out your window. The ultimate scenic route, in my own painting, "Reach for the light".

It might look a bit...off, at first glance, but hey, there are plenty of bright-white nigh-contact binary stars out there, and Maltese crosses have been proposed as a real shape for these crafts...
My own spacey piece, "Solar sailing round twin suns".

Spacefarers of the future might appreciate the power and possibilities of a double star system, particularly one as massive and magnificent as this one: based on a real design for ships in the literature, my "Solar sailing round twin suns".

Just saw a favorable pass of the NASA #ACS3 #SolarSail near the zenith from Tucson. At its brightest, it was around the same brightness as δ Cyg and β Ceph, both about magnitude +3. At its faintest I couldn’t see it at all (unaided-eye). Zenith brightness at the time was 19.9 mag/arcsec2. Clearly still tumbling as well.
