Happy Doctor Who Day everyone 62 years of Gallifreyan fun and frolics! 👍👏🩷

Looks like we have some decent IMF enhancement. Auroral displays along the northern tier of the U.S. are possible tonight if data hold. The cause of this may be an SSBC structure (crossing between solar wind polarities).

Crow: "It's so telling that when members of Congress simply remind service members of the Constitution and their duty to obey the law that he cannot handle that and resorts to threats of violence and execution. That tells you everything you need to know about Trump's respect for the Constitution"

Rep. Jason Crow's office is seeking a Capitol Police investigation into Trump for what they described as "intimidating, threatening, and concerning" social media posts. It's highly unusual for a member of Congress to request a police investigation into a sitting president of the United States.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged. Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The CDC is no longer a reliable source of medical information. It’s been hijacked by scientifically illiterate idiots.

Donald Trump is now saying Democratic lawmakers who encouraged servicemembers to follow the law should be put to death. When are Republicans going to grow a spine to call this out?

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

“When she tried to follow up with a question about potentially incriminating details in the Epstein files, Trump pointed and said, ‘Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.’” www.ms.now/top-stories/...

So many senior appointees in the Trump admin got positions they were utterly unqualified and unprepared for because of their social media presence or Fox appearances. MAGA cheers it on. Then it constantly comes back to bite them when they screw things up - like the Texas gerrymander.

"Quiet, piggy!"

I don't know if the Epstein vote is a one-off or not, but I've been thinkin of that very thin, translucent sticker film that comes when you order, say, a new monitor. It's devilishly hard to get the first little bit of the corner to separate but once you do, the entire thing pulls off very easily.

Quiet, Felon.

Covering Jamal Khashoggi's murder was one of the most disturbing things I've worked on. Hearing Trump say he was "extremely controversial" and people "didn't like him" is chilling. Hard to take any other way than he thinks there is moral ambiguity in the murder of a journalist.

At 7:12pm (ET) Tuesday, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket sending Starlink satellites to space, seen here over the Indian River Lagoon from the Space Coast of Florida. (Bonus: The re-entry burn far out over the ocean is quite visible, frame right)

I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

So you mistakenly dismembered a journalist?

"Sky Light" Last week's celestial light show, shot from my deck. The sky was partly cloudy, I wasn't sure how it would come out, but in the end, I quite like the little cloud there. #AuroraBorealis #Astronomy #Colors #NaturalWonder #LongExposure #Photography #SciArt #PhotoHour

My second #astrophotography target of the season… The Pac-Man #nebula. About 16 hours of total exposure time over 3 nights from my driveway. #astronomy

What a week it’s been for auroras 😍 #aurora #northernlights #solarstorm

Northern lights over Colpoy's Bay, Ontario for the #BlueSkyArtShow #bright theme. The brightest and most widespread display I have seen since first photographing the northern lights 40 years ago. #EastCoastKin #PhotoHour #StormHour #photography

PhD s̶t̶u̶d̶e̶n̶t̶ candidate (and some celebratory fireworks)

My nephew took 2 great photos of the northern lights from his home in northern Arkansas. I especially like the one with the bare tree. #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis #photography

This is what I need. Something detailed and sharp. I need something blurry or bokeh’d These are the simple things in life. 🖤🤍📸 #classicmono #eastcoastkin #blackandwhite #photography #longexposure #bnw

For the #BlueSkyArtShow Theme of #Bright How could I not go with Some of the brightest Auroras of our generation Occuring just a few days ago Wisconsin River Captured Nov. 11, 2025 #Aurora #photography #naturephotography #nature #scape #eastcoastkin #landscapephotography #thewildimages

Still can’t get over how beautiful this was. Aurora from Virginia on 11/11/25. #Photography #Aurora #eastcoastkin

Night of 11/11/25. As the show was winding down. More to the east than the north. Some city lights on the right side. #Photography #Astronomy #Skies #Aurora #Arizona

AMAZEBALLS! #aurora

I’m in a New York State of mind #fujufilm

A little bit of excitement from last night. The northern lights very rarely ever make it down into central California. Had to go out and see what I could capture. #aurora #photography #landscape #art #bluesky #california #canon

From my house in the suburbs. There is a lot of light pollution here and can actually see the reds with naked eye. Saw better last year in October, but had to drive 35-40 min out to the country.

Enjoyed this talk with NDT!

Excited to Neil DeGrasse Tyson live! Got randomly selected to go to the floor! He was kind enough to zoom with my very first set of Earth Science students many years ago. @neildegrassetyson.com

Y'all this is the best. I'm in rural Oklahoma and there's people stopped on a lot of the exit ramps along the highway watching the aurora. Many have likely never seen it before. One old southern dude stopped beside me asking if I see the "big orange lights" too. We're all just little curious humans.

The aurora from Williamsburg, Va tonight (11/11/2025) during a G4 solar storm! #eastcoastkin #astrophotography #photography #aurora

So this happened an hour ago. I don’t think I’ve seen red this deep in a long time. You could see it quite clearly with the naked eye. #aurora

Finally driving my first EV and can’t be the only middle aged dad now *obsessed* with regenerative braking and getting as many miles as humanly possible.

Absolutely wild naked eye visible pillars all the way down here on the Oklahoma/Texas border. Cell phone shot here. #aurora

Naked eye aurora from Williamsburg, Va! #astrophotography #aurora #eastcoastkin

Here is a preliminary model produced by NASA for the X5.1 CME. It's a flank hit with the bulk of the CME heading north, but Earth may see an impact sometime around Nov 12 at 18 UT. This is the third large CME heading to Earth, so we may see G3-G4 conditions now. Stay tuned...

NEW: We just filed an amicus brief with other free speech groups urging the Supreme Court to maintain the block on President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops to Chicago. Our First Amendment right to protest must be protected.
