Me: *lamenting that I haven’t caught any amazing flares with the IRIS satellite lately*
My fiancé who’s been directing that satellite a lot longer than me: “You sweet solar maximum child.”

A vibrant montage celebrating ten years of the SOHO (Solar and Heliospheric Observatory) mission. The image showcases a diverse collection of stunning solar images captured by SOHO's twelve instruments, highlighting solar flares, coronal mass ejections, and the sun's internal structure. The collage is framed by a radiant depiction of the sun, emphasizing SOHO's unique vantage point at the Earth-Sun Lagrange point.

Flaring was moderate, but the most fun came from filaments erupting from the east and west limbs. Loads of groovy twists and swirls as magnetic forces drove giant plasma ropes dancing into space. 🌞✨
Stay tuned for more solar action! 🔥🌌

Caught some awesome solar limb activity with the IRIS satellite! 🤩☀️🛰️ (AR13998) #heliophysics #sunscience #LMSAL
Happened to point IRIS at active region 13993 on my sister's birthday (born in '93) and caught some fun eruptions!

Plot of predicted positions of the Sun and Moon as viewed by the IRIS satellite with emojis of the Sun and Moon laid over top of their positions.
The Moon is sneaking into IRIS’s solar observations this Friday! 🌑🛰️
I’m directing the Sun-observing IRIS satellite this week, and we’re aiming to catch a grazing event as the Moon briefly photobombs our view of the Sun. ☀️📸👀 #sunscience #heliophysics #lunarphotobomb
Silent storms: Experts identify the mysterious source of solar wind: Scientists discovered tiny jets on the Sun that power both fast and slow solar wind. These jets eject particles and shape space weather.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Sol-mate! ☀️☺️
This heart-shaped CME was captured last year, but it’s too cute to not share again! #valentinesday #heliophysics #sunscience #NASAValentines

Howdy, 🦋! I’m Cappy—an art major turned physicist working on my PhD! I study solar and stellar atmospheres in VUV using data from space-based telescopes, and I build solar telescopes that launch on sounding rockets. 🚀☀️ #instrumentation #sunscience #heliophysics

FURST launched on Sept 3, 2024, at 13:21 MDT from White Sands Missile Range. While a severe stray light issue rendered the data unusable, the problem is now well understood. We've charted a path forward and submitted a reflight proposal. Go #FURST! 🚀☀️✨ #sunscience #solarphysics #heliophysics #rocket
