There was a huge X-class solar flare yesterday on the Sun!

You can see it on the right-hand limb in these SDO images.

I find it so neat that we live next to, and can study, a star.

We take it for granted that it's "the Sun" and it's always in the sky, but there is a star and it is RIGHT THERE.

SDO's different filters allow us to look at different wavelengths of light which describe different regions, processes and temperatures of the solar environment.

Science is rad, hey. We have a close up view, and are looking at a star.

My best pictures from the May 2024 #aurora storm were from Memaloose State Park near Mosier, Oregon (1 hr east of Portland on I-84), overlooking the Columbia River and getting some #AuroraBorealis reflection in the water. It was only the 2nd time I had seen aurora, and first time from the ground. It was a lot better than out a 767 window with stone-age camera tech of 2003. spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112421 #AuroraBorealis #astronomy #SpaceWeather

Mountains across the river are in Washington state. (edit: For scale, the Columbia River is 3/4mi or 1km wide at this point.) #astronomy #SpaceWeather

Hard to believe it's been a year since the G5 (Kp=9+) geomagnetic storm that brought #AuroraBorealis down to Oregon and beyond. I got pictures of Multnomah Falls with red #aurora behind it, which is looking south. We should normally not see polar lights to the south at 45.5N. spacey.space/@AstroHawk/112421 #AuroraBorealis #astronomy #SpaceWeather

Spacey SpaceAstro Hawk (Ian Kluft) 🚀🛰️ (@AstroHawk@spacey.space)Attached: 2 images I got a pic of Multnomah Falls (east of Portland OR) with red aurora behind it - this is looking south. You know it's big when polar lights are south from here! (edit: It was dark so I goofed selecting the image. I added the pic of the falls, but the other was also taken there.) #AuroraBorealis #astronomy #SpaceWeather

"@capturetheatlas ✨ A Once-in-a-Lifetime Shot: Total Lunar Eclipse + Aurora Substorm! 🔴💚

Last Thursday night, under the freezing skies of Northern Alaska, I witnessed something I never thought I’d see in my lifetime…

A Total Lunar Eclipse—with the Moon fully immersed in Earth’s shadow—unfolded just as a powerful Aurora substorm exploded across the sky, painting the darkness with surreal waves of green and purple light.

I traveled thousands of miles, braving extreme cold and unpredictable weather, hoping for this rare celestial alignment. These two events rarely coincide—but on this night, everything lined up perfectly.

📸 Swipe to see the images & timelapse! Full-res shots are on my site at Capture the Atlas. You can also check out the RAW bracketed files from my close-up shot in my pinned IG stories.

This is why I chase the night sky—because sometimes, the universe gives us pure magic. Have you ever seen an eclipse or the Northern Lights? Let me know in the comments! ⬇️

I was confused about how the image even works so went to check it out. Very cool!

Active #satellites 🛰️ must perform an increasing 📈 number of #collision avoidance manoeuvres to dodge out of the way of other satellites and fragments of #SpaceDebris. Another factor is the high level of solar ☀️ activity which can often cause increased atmospheric drag. If we extrapolate current trends into the future, catastrophic collision 💥 numbers could rise 📈 significantly esa.int/Space_Safety/Space_Deb
