Traitor? Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.

Just left Ukraine. What I saw proved to me we can’t give up on the Ukrainian people. Everyone wants this war to end, but any agreement has to protect Ukraine’s security and can’t be a giveaway to Putin. Let me tell you about my trip and why it’s important we stand with Ukraine.🧵

The Snow solar telescope coelostat was brought to Mount Wilson in 1904. It is the oldest telescope on Mount Wilson - & the world’s oldest permanently mounted telescope open to the public. Lucky for you it is included as a stop on our weekend public tours! Sats & Suns 11:30 & 1PM.

Can you spot it? Solar plasma heading our way! The eruption appears dark in the first movie, and light in the second, with a potential glancing blow at Earth on Monday. This could cause enhanced aurora at northern latitudes! #spaceweather #astronomy (data: SDO & LASCO)

#OTD 6 years ago, a total solar eclipse crossed the US! ☀️ 🌑 🌎 In the next year, two more solar eclipses will chart paths across America. Learn more and make your plans for the Oct. 14, 2023, annular eclipse and the April 8, 2024, total eclipse: go.nasa.gov/3ZzIq8L

Two differing views of tonight’s ongoing long-duration #SolarFlare, which sat for nearly 4 hours above M-class levels. It appears that an initial filament eruption triggered a much larger event! #spaceweather (data: AIA/SUVI/LASCO)

#ICYMI: Yesterday’s #AGU2022 Heliophysics Hyperwall talk was a ‘how to’ video by Dr. Alex Young. He provided a quick tutorial on how you can use NASA data and tools to view our Sun: go.nasa.gov/3WiUgSz Try it yourself! go.nasa.gov/3uWlPFH #OpenScience

The data revealed the Sun’s dynamic magnetic web, caught on camera for the first time – along with streams of slow solar wind escaping from it. The results provide key support for the “magnetic web” theory. Read the paper: go.nasa.gov/3Xrl2cG

I was checking out the Sun at @sdmesacollege. Afterwards I saw @PrezHands and brought the Sun Spotter over to show her the Sun and the many Sun spots out this afternoon.

Currently, the expected Kp range is between 3 and 5, but additional modeling will likely be performed. Modeling filament eruptions can oftentimes be tricky because the stream of plasma is much more narrow/direct than "lightbulb" shaped CMEs, which are typically more wide.

A very faint halo CME was observed by SOHO this afternoon which appears to be associated with this large filament eruption that occurred around 13:00Z. Based on preliminary modeling by the NASA Moon to Mars office, the CME is expected to impact Earth late on the Zulu day Weds.

#ParkerSolarProbe is gearing up for its next Venus flyby on Oct. 16! 🛰 The spacecraft performed a short maneuver last month to change its speed by less than a third of a mile per hour, putting it right on course for Saturday’s Venus gravity assist. go.nasa.gov/3n0KcgP
