Early instrumental climate reconstructions (pre-1850) struggle with sparse measurements and have large uncertainties.
But they do provide some insights into a particularly interesting period.
Four major volcanic eruptions occurred 1780-1840, each larger than anything since.

Hey.
Wanna see what it looks like to fly past your home planet?
THEN LOOK AT THIS
This is the OSIRIS-APEX spacecraft's view as it swung by Earth on Tuesday, 23 September 2025 from an altitude of 3,500 km.
Look how beautiful that big blue marble is ❤️

There have been many substorms over the past nights as well. In fact, we may have experienced a "sawtooth event" last night which can happen under steady Bz south conditions. Learn more about this special magnetospheric mode: go.theauroraguy.com/october2024s...

A #solarstorm, likely a CME flank hit, is causing geomagnetic disturbances (current Dst = -118 nT).
Bz dropped to -17 nT but has since turned northward ➡️ probably no aurora in Europe tonight.
Hoping high-latitude regions still in darkness get a good show! 💫🌌

The Cassini Saturn mission ended with its "Grand Finale" #OTD in 2017.
To avoid the possibility of colliding with and possibly contaminating one of Saturn’s moons, the probe incinerated itself by plunging into the planet's atmosphere. 🧪 🔭
