And now the protons are coming in. Whow!

(Of course, #ESAEuclid has a mode for dealing with so many protons. In case of doubt it just goes into some hold position and only carries on after that. All fine.)

Let me point you to a public talk – that has a video recording – to show a bit more of what we saw in early #ESAEuclid data.

If your German isn't up to speed then you might have to add auto-dubbed subtitles, sorry!

In one basket that probably doesn't even exist.

Yeah, this was from an M-class flare in late 2023, so imagine 10x more protons:

Let me tell you, our officially-not-an-X-ray-telescope #ESAEuclid did notice this flare. Very much so. A gazillion cosmic ray hits, plus a shadow of hardware where the instruments aren't fully X-ray shielded.

I mean this was the 39th (?) strongest flare in 30 years.

That colour is so Yellow 5 (E102, Tartrazine) and Blue 1 (E133).

Yes, that really wants me to read the paper. Thank you! :-)

Is there impact on the whole galaxy? Or little global impact? Or do I have to wait for the paper? 🥺

I also said that this week, after this announcement:

SOOOO FLUFFY! Now I have to spend the next hour staring at mom and kid seal.

Here's a cutout, this is about 1% of the full image. Young stars, dust and gas being blown out, a lot is going on. The #ESA page has in-depth explanations.

The second image released today is by the EC and @esa.int, of the 'Dark Cloud' LDN 1641 – a near-infrared colour view through thick dust by #Euclid's NISP instrument:

Take the German system: fixed fraction of salary goes to med insurance, matched by employer. No lock-in to some system, no dependency on job (if unemployed your insurance is covered). Funds everything but some minimal copay. Works.

I guess in that administration you have to grift periodically if you don't want to get fired.

I think CO2 is a leftists ruse, the real thing is CO!1!! It will end all of the described illnesses. Permanently.

Meine Apothekarin sagte, neben Corona und Grippe sollte ich meine MMR-Auffrischung nicht parallel machen, weil die alleine häufiger ein Hammer ist - wegen Lebendimpfung. Also nur 2 und MMR dann demnächst.

No, this also is 50% distraction. The core approach and goals of Project 2025 are being implemented step by step. Don't be distracted by the not-so-clever clowns that are put in the limelight.
