🌟Heads up, Aurora Watchers, tonight could be an exciting event!
Yesterday's CME associated with the X1.9 flare is headed our way. Estimated to reach us starting 8 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. CT.
⚠️Meaning aurora may be observed starting at that time, even on the horizon in the lower U.S.

🌟 Storm update: The CME hit Earth at ~2:38 a.m. ET, driving G4 (severe) geomagnetic storm levels. If it’s dark where you are, look north—auroras may be visible far south of usual. Happy hunting! 🌌

Most of us don't realize how many objects (payloads and debris) are in orbit around Earth.

Now it can (finally) be told. We've been tracking Comet 3I more or less continuously with PUNCH. Everything is fine. 3I is definitely very interesting – but it is most definitely *not* an alien spaceship undergoing maneuvers, no matter what that Boston guy says. ☀️🛰️🔭🧪 #3I #comet #not_aliens

Tapping the XKCD sign again to explain that no, I won't be seeing an aurora tonight. Or at least I really hope not. That would be bad. :)

There’s a heart-shaped feature in the Sun’s corona - seen in a recent SDO’s A193 filtered image, which captures the hot solar atmosphere.

The Sun’s sending its love to Earth … cause nothing says love like an X-class flares and series of proton showers! 😅

This looks like it could be a big one! Look to the skies this evening.... But now that I've said that, I've jinxed it.
