We discussed the latest discoveries, why studying solar activity matters, and how it connects to space weather and Earth. Plus, it’s the perfect time to get excited about astronomy for the upcoming #IrishAstronomyWeek 1-8th March www.irishastronomyweek.ie! 🌌✨

I had a great time chatting on #Futureproof with @jonathanmccrea.bsky.social on @newstalkfm.bsky.social this weekend, talking about @esascience.esa.int #SolarOrbiter and how we're uncovering new insights about our Sun! ☀️🛰️

Today, on International Day of Women and Girls in Science, I’m proud to be one of over 100 women contributing to the Solar Orbiter mission! 🚀

Five years of Solar Orbiter - and counting! 🌞 ✨ 🚀

Looking forward to the new insights the PUNCH mission will bring on the corona and solar wind - and looking forward to playing with the observational data 🌞🐍! Best of luck to the team for a successful launch in the coming weeks! ☀️🚀" #heliophysics

Spotted some apt graffiti by Broombridge this morning while cycling along the Royal Canal to Dunsink - right at the spot where Hamilton first wrote it down:

i² = j² = k² = ijk = -1

EUV images of the Sun from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory are back on SolarMonitor! solmon.dias.ie/fulldisk?dat...

We have a PhD studentship to look at the causal relations in space weather (specifically, the effects of quasi-periodic solar flares on the ionosphere). It's a joint project across depts of Computer Science and Meteorology at Reading. Details here:

X-rays from a coronal mass ejection (CME)? 🌞💥
My recent @ESASolarOrbiter science nugget shows how escaping CMEs can produce high-energy X-ray emission, giving us some fresh insights into solar eruptive event particle acceleration ⚡

Check out this video+sonification showing how ESA's Solar Orbiter mission has captured the Sun’s increasing activity! 🌞

I worked on making this movie, combining EUV images from EUI (☀️) and X-ray flare data from STIX. Sonification by Klaus Nielsen.

Check out this nice thread about @ryanjfrench.bsky.social's new paper about some very nice pulsations in a solar flare as seen from #solarorbiter and IRIS 👇

🌞🚀🛰🤓

#SolarOrbiter released four new Sun images, assembled from high-resolution observations by the spacecraft's PHI and EUI instruments made on 22 March 2023. The PHI images are the highest-resolution full views of the Sun's visible surface to date.
