Where have you been hiding?? Not full size yet but almost. A Sphinx moth caterpillar of so sort. Maybe Rustic or Carolina? I thought the tiny white spots might be a clue but not helping me.

Here's the blooper version I mentioned. (I have no idea who the uploader is or how they got a copy of this. But I am glad that it survives.)

Amidst all the
#Auroraborealis
action here's today's "blue marble" full-disk shot from GOES-18. At 2030 UTC / 12:30 PM PST. As received and processed from the 1.7 GHz radio signal with my own @Nooelec ground station operating in Vancouver.

Saw someone post that they didn’t want to take any aurora photos because it was cliché, everyone’s doing it The sky’s full of mystical dancing lights, from particles miles above us, excited by a burp from our local star. You’re allowed to be excited about cool shit, and this is especially cool shit

AURORA UPDATE 430PM 🌌 This is that 3 hour heads up I was talking about. Plain and simple: likely not going to happen. The plasma blob arrived, so it's here (picture 1), but.... the magnetic field is pointing the wrong direction (picture 2).

Nights like this are the best. All the trouble of the world is momentarily set aside while we're collectively marveling at the pretty lights and nature together. This is how it's supposed to be. Life, I mean. Shared joy and all. 🙂

You think maybe this is a biggie as far as solar storms go? You'd be right. It is! One of the five biggest of the current solar cycle, SC25. In terms of rate of energy dissipation though it isn't up to the May 10-11 event of 2024. That was a G5-level storm. Stay tuned for tomorrow.

Aurora color guide! What creates the different shades? Different atoms getting "excited" at different altitudes The bright reds are a sign of a particularly intense event

I first heard rumours about this in September. We're currently without one of our most powerful tools for communicating with spacecraft in deep space, and it's not clear when we'll get it back.

Not sure if you guys are aware of this but, but some random podcast is leaking into your timeline on Spotify as if it were your own. Probably a weird software bug but I don't know who to report it to. Does this on mobile and web platforms.

In the century leading up to 1975, nearly 6000 freighters went down in the Great Lakes. The Edmund Fitzgerald was the last. The last. In 50 years, not a single commercial freighter has been lost in the Great Lakes. Why? It's NOAA. Of course it's NOAA.

If any part of Chicago gets a foot of snow tomorrow I will sit down here in Milwaukee and consume an entire plate of hot dogs with tomatoes and other vegetables that don't belong on hot dogs on them along with a pizza that has sauce on top instead of cheese.

"The expectation is for the lake effect snow bands to be unusually intense with peak snow rates of 3 to locally 5 inches per hour, frequent lightning and thunder, and pockets of hail... Travel may become impossible with the potential for stranded cars during the morning commute"

Appropriately strong wording from @NWSChicago AFD regarding the potential for multiple intense bands of lake effect snow tonight into Monday morning. Extremely heavy snow with zero visibility, high winds, and lightning possible in the strongest bands.

The FAA has published its emergency order instructing airlines to reduce flights at 40 “high impact” airports. Here are the affected airports and how the schedule reductions will increase over 7 days, potentially impacting thousands of flights per day.

Out of all the stats that will be in history books from Melissa, this is the most astounding to me. GLM data was recording a peak flash rate of 700 strikes per minute — nearly 12 per second — as it made landfall on Jamaica. That’s rewriting our understanding flash density in tropical cyclones.

I posted this as a reply elsewhere, but I'll say it again: We air traffic controllers are not okay. The delay you call unnecessary may have been the delay that prevented one or more of us from working an unsafe level of traffic...

Looks like American air travel is already fucked and getting more so, in the wake of Duffy’s 10% reduction announcement. Hold onto your butts.
