Late Saturday Apr 12 to early Sunday Apr 13 the Sun has unleashed 2 filament eruptions, south-east and south-west of the central meridian. The resulting #solarstorms are due to arrive at Earth late Tuesday Apr 15, but they are slow and we do not expect a strong geomagnetic response.

Whatever it was... we want to do it again!

An expanded view of yesterday’s impressive #SolarFlare and coronal mass ejection. The video shows timelapses of data from SDO, SUVI, and SOHO respectively, each revealing mesmerising views of different plasma physics processes! An impressive event. #spaceweather

The Do Good Podcast: Episode #3 - The Importance of Truthfulness in Science YouTube video by The Do Good Pod

Hey, everyone! Check out my recent appearance on the Do Good Podcast - "The Importance of Truthfulness in Science." I discuss my journey chasing the northern lights, the science of aurora, and combating misinformation in space weather.

Check out my recent paper, just published in ApJ! ☄️

thank you! I spend a great deal of time attempting to make up for a lack of innovative scientific content with colorful graphics 😅

hello ok i am awake what did i miss
tell me every thing

highly recommended if you're having trouble falling asleep! 😅

And here is another movie!

Presented the studies that me and my PhD student Harry Lewis have been doing assessing the specific plasma physical processes responsible for dissipating turbulent energy in collisionless plasmas yesterday at #AGU24!

Lots of fantastic discussions with everyone afterward!

A coronal mass ejection encountered by four spacecraft within 1 au from the Sun: ensemble modelling of propagation and magnetic structure ABSTRACT. Understanding and predicting the structure and evolution of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in the heliosphere remains one of the most sought-after

Kicking off this Bluesky thing with a fresh new paper! We analysed and modelled a CME that impacted four spacecraft spread out between ~0.4 and 1 au from the Sun—we investigated radial evolution and whether measurements at an inner probe improve predictions at an outer one: doi.org/10.1093/mnra...
