Cool! The moon photobombed the Sun as seen by GOES’ SUVI instrument. This means nothing other than it being a neat-looking image.

If you use AI to summarize a research article for you, that is a tacit admission that 1) you do not understand what that article argues; 2) you do not know what evidence is presented to support that argument; and 3) you do not have enough information to evaluate either the argument or evidence.

new paper who dis! New mid IR solar flare observations from BBSO, led by Xu Yang. #heliophysics iopscience.iop.org/article/10.3...

I've had a few other former astronomers reach out to me lately about transitioning into data science/ML, and I decided to write about it. This is my personal journey from astro to ocean, and the most useful steps I took along the way.

two days of #heliophysics & Space Weather at INPE. Lots of discussions about future instruments & collaborations

In response to the ever-increasing number of submissions to the Open Journal of Astrophysics, I'd like to invite more astrophysicistsonto our Editorial Board. We're looking for volunteers with expertise in any area of astrophysics! Please contact me or @ojastro.bsky.social astro.theoj.org

I've always hated using generative AI as a substitute for creativity. But I'm so sad that it helps people forgo the pursuit of humanity. This is bad news for those of us in the creativity business, including scientists 🧪 . scienceforeveryone.science/p/against-ai...

THIRTY?

wow

that would be a NO

👇 short thread with very important things to remember when doing data analysis

An Emerging Risk To #RadioAstronomy 📡 Using a prototype SKA-Low instrument, a new analysis from @icrar.bsky.social has detected Starlink signals leaking into protected radio bands. @cosmicrami.com writes about this new study. www.spaceaustralia.com/news/emergin... 📸 Astro_Work 🔭 #SpaceAustralia

this is *amazing* #heliophysics

⚒️🦖🦕🧪 🚨New paper alert🚨 anatomypubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Amazing clarity from the NSF-funded Goode Solar Telescope at Big Bear Solar Observatory! ☀️🔭🧪

🧵 There's a common misperception about SocArXiv, unfortunately promoted by the much larger, richer, profit-generating SSRN service (Elsevier). It sounds harsh to say this, but at SocArXiv we serve the scholarly community, and the scholarly record - not individual authors. I can explain. /1

If we all somehow agreed to follow some unwritten rule that nobody can publish more than four or five papers per year, I think that would make our culture healthier for everybody.

"The publish-or-perish reality for researchers meets the publish-to-profit motive for publishers. A perfect storm that has allowed publishers to exploit researchers' need to publish, has allowed a black market of research to become prominent and has seen the retraction of over 10,000 papers in 2023"

Fun fact: the monster coronal hole that is now facing Earth has survived on the Sun for over 8 months, and it doesn't seem to be shrinking at all! #heliophysics

The explosion of AI imagery online has had an odd side effect for me: it's made me so much happier to see amateur art. I love seeing art from people at various stages of experience, even when things are rough and folks are just starting out. It makes me happy, now, in a way that it never used to.

let's hope for an X-class flare from this active region, during the Brazilian morning. I have reasons.

#heliophysics 👇 the Sun is back on it!

Magnífico flare classe X emitido no limbo oeste do Sol! As imagens do post foram capturadas pelo telescópio espacial SDO, que observa o Sol em ultravioleta. O pico do evento foi às 12:38 desta terça (13/05). O efeito da erupção deve se limitar a interferência na comunicação por frequências de HF.

So the Department of Physics at the University of Auckland is looking to hire a lecturer/senior lecturer in one of the following areas: - Physics education research, - Quantum optics and quantum information, - Biophotonics and/or medical physics, - Astrophysics and/or space technology. 1/2...

I wish editorial boards would allow those of us who submit work to journals to indicate that we categorically deny permission for reviewers AND editors to feed our unpublished hard work into some LLM. For all the good it will do--at least authors can make their wishes clear to editors/reviewers.

Looking for a posdoc grant? Willing to come to São Paulo and work with us at Mackenzie University? FAPESP calls are always open - feel free to drop a message #AcademicSky #heliophysics fapesp.br/en/postdoc

FAPESP has an open call to attract senior researchers to São Paulo, Brazil. Anyone interested to join Mackenzie University under this, get in touch! #AcademicSky #heliophysics #photonics fapesp.br/17523/call-f...

Another fun thing about Earth’s magnetic field … THE NORTH MAGNETIC POLE IS ACTUALLY IN THE SOUTH! 🧲 We know this because opposite poles attract and your compass north magnet always points to the south magnetic pole! So when you say Aussies are “down under” … are we though?! 📸 PeterHermesFurian

We actually just released an awesome in-depth article and a short video about the effects of the storm today to celebrate the anniversary. Worth a read! ☀️🔭🧪 #heliophysics science.nasa.gov/science-rese...

Let’s make today (May 10) Magnetosphere Appreciation Day! A year ago today we had that huge aurora display, caused by the most powerful geomagnetic storm experienced in decades. Lovely visualisations by NASA SVS/NASA DRIVE science centre on how our atmosphere and magnetosphere responded. 🧪🔭☀️🧲

Today we may see the atmospheric re-entry of a historic spacecraft that was meant to land on Venus and got stuck in Earth orbit, 53 years ago. Predicted re-entry time 10 May 2025, 6:35 UTC ± 3.7 hr (via @marcolangbroek.bsky.social) 🧪 🔭 #PlanetSci

I find these personal messages so heartwarming... this really makes you feel part of the international scientific community! /s

This is one of the absolute best resources out there for science teachers to use to help students visualize and understand scientific processes. It was a godsend during the pandemic when in-person labs were not possible. And it's free for all to use. So disappointing. 🧪🎢 ⚛️ 🥽 🍎 #WithoutNSF #SaveNSF

Tomorrow is the anniversary of the 10-11 May 2024 geomagnetic superstorm! Our paper in @agu.org Space Weather led by Eva Weiler demonstrates the solar source of 5 interacting #solarstorms and the possibility to better predict such events with sub-L1 monitors in the future. 🧵👇 doi.org/10.1029/2024...

These are real images of exoplanets. Four super-Jupiters, imaged 10 times over 12 years around a star 133 lightyears away. These are real, giant worlds, out there in the dark. And we can see them.

thread 👇 and one should mention the countless research efforts in Engineering, Chemistry, Biology, Physics, etc that worked in the background to allow advancements in Medicine #AcademicSky

and are those Other Countries with thriving academic job markets and healthy higher education sectors in the room with us now?

Countries around world have researchers already as good as anyone in the US. There is no shortage of talent. What they don’t have is enough money for the existing researchers.

no, you got Commander & Conquer Remastered for pure nostalgia

👇 this is how I learned to write papers (still learning because it's skill that one can keep improving) #AcademicSky

Every now again it’s useful to repeat advice about accessing papers that are behind a paywall that excludes you. Email the author. My estimate is that 90% of academics are so thrilled that a living, breathing, possibly even reading, person shows interest that they will swiftly send you a copy.

MSc & PhD positions in #heliophysics and #exoplanets at Mackenzie University, Brazil. Applications deadline May 13. Scholarships available - please get in touch (DM me!) for more info about this and projects! We can also talk about posdoc positions #AcademicSky www.mackenzie.br/processos-se...
