The #Sun right now. Some small scattered sunspots, but none of them very active. So no #aurora to be expected. There is a coronal hole however (the dark patch in the second Solar Dynamics Observatory image from minutes ago) letting solar wind escape, which could spark high latitude aurora.

🧵👇 Over hoe alles draait om het frame. Hoe imago de waarde bepaalt. Frames worden herhaald in plaats van bevraagd. Daarmee beïnvloedt een frame de wereld. We zullen de frames moeten kraken. #CrackingTheFrame Lees vooral het hele draadje!

Ask anybody who works at JPL how well their algorithmic firing worked. Ask how many people they had to beg to come back because they’d fired everyone who knew how to operate a crucial element of a flight system.

Asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses a significant impact risk. ESA's latest analysis has reduced the probability of an Earth impact in 2032 to 0.001%. Planetary Defenders continue to keep watch for any other asteroids that may come too close for comfort 🛡️🔭 www.esa.int/Space_Safety...

De zeldzame aarde metalen die Trump graag wil van Ukraine, moet hij aan zijn vriend Putin vragen. De grootste voorraden liggen namelijk in bezet gebied. Waarom zou Putin anders begonnen zijn? Toch wel fijn als er iemand iets van geologie weet... #geology #aardwetenschappen @vuamsterdam.bsky.social

The world is becoming a terrifying place, but let’s talk nevertheless for a moment about a wonder of nature: noctilucent clouds (#nlc). They form over high geographical latitudes during midsummer. The image shows nlcs over Antarctica on 27 January 2025 seen by #Himawari9 satellite. 1/7
