  1. 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 🛰️ 🔭🤞

    A couple of balls that I love to photograph, composited together. (Not to scale, obviously!)

  13. As we wave farewell to our episode on Maria Mitchell & sunspots, here's an image of the crater named after Maria on the moon!

    Stay tuned tomorrow for a new episode on the #astronomy and Cosmic Background of the #constellation Camelopardalis!

  18. That the #sun is a star like the ones we see at night is something that will never stop being astonishing to me.

    Its surface has a texture, the solar granules, which are the result of very strong convective motion. The #sunspots are magnetic anomalies, a bit cooler than their surroundings.

  19. He reprocesado mi imagen del sol de primeros de julio de 2024 y ahora me gusta mas y me he deshecho de la banda horrorosa de alrededor, creo que para mi primera y única vez de fotografía solar y aprender a darle otra vuelta estoy muy contento :)

    Some more astronomy from my hospital room - 4 days of tracking a family of sunspots:

  21. Well, that'll fix #GlobalWarming, eh? 😬

    NOAA confirms a 'full-blown' #GrandSolarMinimum

    "#GSM's have the potential to hold sunspots at ZERO for multiple decades. [Apparently, there are currently ZERO sunspots at the moment]. The most famous example is the #MaunderMinimum (1645-1715) which brought plummeting temperatures, crop loss, famine, and the deaths of hundreds of millions of people ACROSS the planet."

  23. Thanks to a heads-up post from @appagalcrochet, I hauled out my telescope this morning to check out newly-formed sunspot region 4366 — an area ten times wider than the Earth! It’s been emitting powerful X-class solar flares, which reportedly triggered radio blackouts across the South Pacific. The fact that life is able to exist at all on our tiny orb amid such unimaginably powerful cosmic forces continues to amaze me.

  24. Wow, what a fascinating Astronomy Day! The sky was mostly clear in both Bonn and Effelsberg, and our visitors were able to experience the partial solar eclipse (SoFi) on March 29 with their own eyes!

    A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between the Earth and the Sun. This only happens during a new moon and when the Moon is aligned with the Sun and Earth. There are three types of solar eclipses:

    👉 Total SoFi - when the Sun is completely covered. A total solar eclipse lasts a maximum of 7 minutes and 32 seconds;
    👉 Partial SoFi - when only a part of the Sun is covered;
    👉 Annular SoFi - when the Moon is too far away and therefore too small to completely cover the Sun.

    Since the Moon is 400 times smaller than the Sun and exactly 400 times closer to the Earth, it can completely cover the Sun when viewed from Earth. However, a solar eclipse cannot be observed equally from all places on Earth, but only within a narrow geographic area. But wherever you are, remember: Never look directly at the Sun without proper eye protection! For example, SoFi glasses or a welding helmet with the appropriate protection level are suitable, but not regular sunglasses or binoculars.

    In addition to the partially obscured Sun, several sunspots were also visible. The number of sunspots depends on the current phase of the Sun's 11-year activity cycle, which is why they are not always visible.

    #SaveTheDate:
    📢 The next partial solar eclipse in Germany: August 12, 2026 – over 80% coverage;
    📢 The next total solar eclipse visible from Germany: in 2081.

  25. [Alert, alert! 🌟 💥 ] Increased risk of #SolarStorms in the coming days!

    Numerous particularly active #sunspots appeared on the surface of the #Sun last weekend. Their total surface area is comparable to that of the sunspots observed by British astronomer Richard #Carrington on September 1, 1859. An event that gave rise to the strongest solar storm in recent centuries.

  26. Excellent seeing conditions today, and the Sun is sharing some excellent sunspot groups as well. There is a forest fire smoke layer above us, but very steady conditions prevail.
