We have upgraded our geomagnetic forecast today (12 November 2025) to the highest intensity level amid an ongoing solar storm. Current predictions suggest that the activity will result in potentially the largest solar storm to hit our planet in over two decades.

There is a large coronal hole facing Earth right now that is currently sending fast solar wind towers Earth! We may feel the first effects as early as August 17 or 18. It’s possible we see G1 or even G2-level storming and mid-latitude aurora. The moon will be less bright, too. Who’s ready?

On #WorldConservationDay, we highlight nature’s crucial services 🐝 Pollination, water purification, & flood regulation provide trillions in economic value annually, yet these benefits are often overlooked in decision-making. Why valuing nature is key ⤵️ zerocarbon-analytics.org/archives/foo...

Etymology of the day: spiders were once known as ‘attercops’, or ‘poison-heads’, because it was believed most spiders were venomous. The ‘cop’ element became the ‘cob’ in ‘cobweb’.

Best bloom of pincushion cactus I’ve ever seen! The colour of these pincushion cactus blooms is a camera sensor-buster and it made me go down a rabbit hole of cactus flower anatomy. This is one of 3 species of cacti native to #Saskatchewan (other 2 are prickly pears) 🌿🌵

Bright pink bloom on top of a tiny ball of spiky cactus with creeping juniper with blue berries behind.

Meanwhile in Alberta, this is what our Minister is doing for wildlife...and don't buy the BS about it being "for conservation," the funds go to the Alberta Professional Outfitters Society to divvy it up, so it's not exactly 'conservation' as you and I might think. www.alberta.ca/release.cfm?...

Red sprites are the perfect blend of science and nature, fleeting moments of beauty in our own atmosphere. Each red spear is an excited ion channel, several miles long and triggering 50 miles above some massive charge change in the clouds below. Our very own electric zoo, right above our heads.

I was out in the backyard when the local wolf chorus started up. Such an amazing sound. There was one calling from north east of my cottage and the pack was answering from the southwest. I apologize for my breathing. I had to run into the house and find my phone. I’m still vibrating.

Orion seems to come up sideways, climbing over a distant mountain range in this deep skyscape. The wintry scene was captured from southern Poland on the northern hemisphere's long solstice night. Otherwise unseen nebulae hang in the sky, revealed by the camera modified to record red hydrogen-alpha light. The nebulae lie near the edge of the Orion molecular cloud and join the Hunter's familiar belt stars and bright giants Betelgeuse and Rigel. Eye of Taurus the Bull, yellowish Aldebaran anchors the V-shaped Hyades star cluster near top center. Still, near opposition in planet Earth's sky, the Solar System's ruling gas giant Jupiter is the brightest celestial beacon above this horizon's snowy peaks.
