I am a little late in posting this, but mass cancellations result from discovery that computers installed on one of the most widely operated passenger planes could be vulnerable to interference from the sun.

Butterball recommends cooking a 18lbs turkey for 4.5h at 325. At this temperature the average oven draws 3,000 Watts, meaning the energy to oven cook a turkey is 48,600,000 J.

Internet says a 80 dB scream is 0.001 Watts, so you could also try screaming for 1,541 years. Could be a family activity 🦃

One of my geophysics "fun facts" is that what heats the Earth the most is the Earth itself.

This is b/c: 1) the Earth's atmosphere/surface converts so much of the Sun's wide spectrum of radiation (e.g. UV and visible 🌈) into infrared (heat), and 2) the Earth's atmosphere is good at trapping heat🌤️

Has anyone observed STEVE from Alaska? This is just a soft ask for now, but I am compiling a list of events to study further, and if you have a photo of STEVE from Alaska (specifically near Fairbanks), feel free to comment it below with a date, time, and location!

FLUMPH (Field-deployed L-band Unit for Monitoring Phase Hiccups) is my GPS receiver sitting next to the EOVSA LWA (Long Wavelength Array) in California.

Here is an article about the recent solar storm, it's significance, and what FLUMPH-LWA science we hope to do 🪼

‘Father’ and ‘dad’ are synonyms.

‘Figure’ and ‘bod’ are synonyms.

But, a ‘father figure’ and a ‘dad bod’ aren’t exactly the same thing…
