Aurora color guide! What creates the different shades?
Different atoms getting "excited" at different altitudes
The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event

If you have a very low-latitude aurora observation from tonight, please record your exact time and rough location and DO NOT DELETE your photo. These observations will be important for scientific research of this event.
Comment below if you have a low-latitude aurora sighting.

My calendar is launching in just two days! Get ready! I am really excited to be releasing this product to you all. I've worked hard on it over the last couple months.

Webb has found the strongest evidence yet of a gas giant around Alpha Centauri A!
If confirmed, it would be the nearest planet that orbits in the habitable zone of a sun-like star.

☀️A new era in space weather forecasting is beginning...
Last year, we saw an increase in solar storms that lit up the skies with stunning auroras across Europe.
However, these events can be disruptive, effecting power, satellites & communications.

Congratulations to #ParkerSolarProbe! I took this picture a few weeks ago at #AGU24 and had the opportunity to see the excitement of solar physicists about this major achievement. I’m very excited about what’s coming next for solar science!

Did you know the ocean is separated into layers? Water has different densities. Cold water is heavier than warm water. Freshwater is lighter than saline or brackish water. Because of this the ocean becomes layered. You can test this out at home with soap, water and other liquids🧪🌊

I can't find African Scientists and researchers easily on here. As the second largest continent with 1.3 billion inhabitants our perspectives matter. I'm creating a starterpack to find folks, follow them and amplify them. If you are an African Scientist let me know below so I can add you. Thanks.

This is a great demonstration for anyone who does visual data analysis. There are 12 black dots – but you'll have trouble seeing more than one or two at a time. The human visual system is not an especially reliable way to process images or extract features from out-of-the-ordinary visual fields. 🧪☀️
