The most powerful geomagnetic storm on record, captured on a piece of paper 📜
We hold the magnetogram from the 1859 Carrington Event in our collections. Geophysicist Ciaran Beggan explains how these records help us understand extreme space weather.

☄️JWST managed to image asteroid 2024 YR4 this month, and its infrared scopes got a really good estimate of its size.
Turns out it was 60m (+/-7)—sufficient to wreck a large city. Good thing it wasn’t heading to Earth after all…

@asrivkin.bsky.social Andy, did the James Webb telescope perform your planned March observation of #2024YR4 to get it's size? Or was it cancelled after the risk diminished?
