NASA's just-launched ESCAPADE mission is trying out a novel trajectory to Mars, one that's slower but allows much more flexible launch dates. The flight path also provides a bonus science session at the L2 equilibrium point near Earth. 🧪🔭

🌍 Splendide photo satellite au-dessus du pôle Nord montrant les aurores boréales des dernières nuits 😍
Circling the world over the last couple of nights, the aurora borealis put on quite a spectacular show in the sky of the northern hemisphere.

3I/ATLAS : une comète interstellaire qui cache ses secrets sous une croûte irradiée
3I/ATLAS est une comète interstellaire provenant d'un autre système stellaire. De nouvelles recherches menées par l'Institut royal d'Aéronomie Spatiale de Belgique (IASB) montrent que 3I/ATLAS n'expos...

Check out this crazy mosaic image of the auroral oval from space on the night of Nov 11-12!
You an can see just how extended the oval was due to the impressive solar storm that impacted and delivered a G4 (Kp 9-) geomagnetic storm - the third strongest of solar cycle 25!

The Sun just produced an X5.1 class #SolarFlare. This is the largest flare of 2025 so far, and 6th largest of the past two years. It triggered a strong ‘Radio Blackout’ and moderate ‘Solar Radiation Storm’ at Earth, and released what is most likely an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection!

We are doubling the irradiation dose at airplane altitude over the poles... I wish that happened last August when I was doing measurements over there (it is still low doses, nothing to worry about at these altitudes)

This CME is really stunning. In CCOR-1, you can see the blast surrounding the occulting disk in the center in what we call a "full halo." When this happens, if the source region is on the Earth-facing disk, we know the CME is coming at Earth.

Here is the X5.1 flare in straight EUV light. We are looking at the 193 Å "gold" filter here. The flare is the bright flash, and immediately, you can see a giant blast wave racing through the Sun's corona, lifting tons of plasma into space as an Earth-directed CME.

We just got a large X5.1 flare and we have a S2 radiation storm (nothing to worry about, but very interesting to study)

Here is the AIA 211 Å base-difference movie of the EUV wave from the X1.8 CME. It is a nice eruption, but I think a lot of the CME is heading east. We'll have to see what coronagraphs and models have to say about this. More activity could happen today and throughout the week.

We will greatly miss Al Nagler, founder of Tele Vue Optics (@televueoptics.bsky.social), who left us Monday. I was honored to know him: a brilliant man with a gentle and joyful disposition. Among many other accomplishments, he designed the Wide Field Imager optics in use on the PUNCH mission. ☀️🔭
