Storm has arrived super late. Not super fast, but strong magnetic field. Bz is jumping up and down. Kp sitting around 6. The timing **sucks** for North America.

Big space weather news! Our work on assessing the feasibility of artificially stopping major space weather events has been published! Science magazine has released a news article on it! #spaceweather #aurora www.science.org/content/arti...

Saw this announcement earlier today. Tough, tough news.

I just downloaded 35 years of SuperMAG electrojet index data for reasons.

Swollen RFK Jr. Warns Americans Not Eating Enough Bees https://theonion.com/swollen-rfk-jr-warns-americans-not-eating-enough-bees/

true i suppose but i don't think age is the big barrier preventing me from being an astronaut, it's that i'm stupid

The Afroman case is so emblematic of the farcical degeneracy of the criminal and civil justice systems.

Thanks to technology, bananas are becoming obsolete as pretend phones. The future belongs to the Pop-Tart.

This is why we need continuity of measurements,overlap and redundancy of measurements across different locations! The answer has real world implications for how we run and train models and understand how storms arrive at Earth from the sun!

Shocking contrast between the solar wind density values observed by IMAP versus ACE- as much as 20 times higher in the new IMAP versus the very old ACE!!! We know ACE is getting old, but holy smokes that's a staggering difference.

Had a great #AMS2026 on the space weather side. Probably my most productive AMS meeting in some time! Here are my big takeaways:

ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.

It can get lower!

"Ships immediately" My AMS presentation next week is going to be the fashion statement of the century.

Seeing all these aurora pics from Europe...

Damn, this storm is evolving fast. I can't keep up with everything. Auroral index is through the roof. GOES spacecraft are outside the magnetosphere (and scared, prolly). I can't keep up with the great people posting info in real time!!

Space weather storm is here! ...EARLY! This is a good sign for mid-latitude aurora. Unfortunately, real time solar wind data is giving erroneous velocity data (a near constant 300 km/s). We'll pay attention to density and magnetic field to see how this unfolds.

This was super cool to watch, especially the concluding message at the end about American cities. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c062... I love Detroit; my parents are from the city and it's part of my heritage. I have been lucky to do a lot of fun things in the city as of late.

Great day to have functioning eyes and a working brain

Not a bad year for running off stress. strava.app.link/CFs81zq5HZb

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

BREAKING NEWS: NASA telescope photographs unidentified object transiting the Sun this morning.

#AGU25 this week has been a joyful and grim time. It's great to see colleagues and friends, and the meeting is always overwhelmingly productive. However, we continue to learn about the depths to which the current administration is attempting to dismantle science.

#AGU25 folks, there is a rapid- response town hall TODAY on the #NCAR dismantling at 1 pm, La Nouvelle Orleans ballroom C (per an AGU media advisory)

How do you get ready for #FallAGU in 2025? By printing ICE whistles, of course.

From the #AGU25 app. A program called SafeWalk. Please use it if you can find a buddy!

It is all-the-way winter in Michigan.

Copy-pasting @sciguyspace.bsky.social's post from TheBadSite to spread the message here. I entirely agree with Eric's second point: the space community has been suffering from the lack of stable leadership at NASA. [cont'd]

Happy Thanksgiving! Gotta calm the nerves during halftime #GoLions

I wish I could take credit for this, but yeah nuttin' but clouds up here in MI #NoAurora #Sad #WeatherCanEatMyButt

This storm is highlighting our lack of capability. Our two spacecraft capable of real-time solar wind monitoring are struggling. ACE's plasma detector is giving clearly WRONG data, while DSCOVR is known to give unreliable values. SWFO, hurry up!

This looks like it could be a big one! Look to the skies this evening.... But now that I've said that, I've jinxed it.

Jaw has been on the floor for the past 10 minutes now...

HOLY CRAP THIS SPACE WEATHER STORM LOOKS REAL AF.

Little dude loves his head rubs

When you feel political cartoonists have been working too hard and deserve something easy as a treat

Find a No Kings protest Saturday and go! Don't worry that you've never been to a protest before. Don't worry about being dressed wrong or looking out of place. Don't worry that you don't agree about everything -- or even about much -- with lots of people at the protest. /1

Periodic reminder that it is useful to always keep your CV/Resume up to date. Not sure where to start? Here's a template passed on to me during my graduate school years, and I've modified it based on feedback from others. Feel free to use and share! open.substack.com/pub/plasmane... #CV #Resume

Greatly enjoyed this seminar by Dr. Jesse Woodroffe. Some human-space environment effects discussed that I hadn't thought about at all, including human-generated VLF radio signals being detected in space and potentially scattering particles! events.umich.edu/event/136477

I am *very* excited for SWFO. High quality, real-time L1 data is the current cornerstone of space weather monitoring, and we've been struggling with that recently.

AND... WE HAVE LIFTOFF of NOAA’s #SWFOL1 satellite, riding along with NASA.gov's Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (#IMAP) and Carruthers Geocorona Observatory! More about SWFO-L1: noaa.gov/SWFOL1 #LetsGoSWFO!

I'm about to get my COVID vaccine. Can't wait to go out and start a fight with the first COVID I see

1. In the immediate aftermath of Charlie Kirk's shooting, the WSJ laundered claims that "transgender symbols" were found with the shooter's gun. Now, a press conference reveals that NO such symbols were found. WSJ owes a full retraction and apology. Subscribe to support our journalism.

look at my FBI director dawg we are never finding this man

Hell yeah the first talk at an IEEE meeting is about space weather.

Kicking off an international conference in Italy by listening to warnings about travel complications in the host nation of the next meeting: the United States. We're being warned about searches, visa problems, and other actions that visitors may be subjected to while in the US. This sucks.
