Here it comes... the large coronal hole is almost directly facing Earth now, which means fast solar wind is 3-4 days away. In fact, NOAA SWPC has just issued a G1/minor storm watch for Oct 2. This means there are chances for mid-latitude auroral displays Thu and Fri nights. #heliophysics

Heading back to school soon? Wow your classmates with some shark facts. Sharks are amazing—they’re strong, intelligent predators at the top of the food chain, and they help keep our oceans healthy. Did you also know they’ve been on Earth longer than just about any other species?

I finally saw The Odyssey! This is my contribution to the discourse, from the official Peter Rabbit account on IG
A picture of Peter rabbit and his mother and siblings. He is standing apart from them. The text reads a flawed protagonist doesn't heed warnings and embarks on a journey to a forbidden place

This is Comet Leonard during its approach to the Sun, imaged by Gerald Rhemann on Christmas Day 2021. The comet had been discovered earlier that year, and broke apart in 2022. This photo won the overall prize for Rhemann of the Royal Observatory Greenwich's Astronomy Photographer of the Year 2022.
A bright point of light at the top of the image is the comet's nucleus; the comet's gas and dust tails trail from the nucleus to the bottom of the image. Complex structures in the dust tail result from outbursts from the nucleus as it undergoes solar heating.

A 10yo student asked me today “What is worth more, $100, or 100 bananas?” Me: $100 10yo: No, the bananas, because then you can sell them and get more than $100! Me: … do you know how much bananas cost? 10yo, hesitantly: $3? My brain: It’s a banana, how much could it cost? $10?

I'd like to have sex one more time with my wife who passed away from cancer 9 years ago. My body yearns for hers. The ultimate downside to finding "the one" is she may die young and leave you wanting.
