How’s that for a starburst?

Found in this distant spiral galaxy is a giant star prone to mysterious outbursts. Thanks to @ChandraXray, scientists identified the culprit behind the eruptions—a hidden companion to the volatile star. https://t.co/Q3J9uOmEVM

Lucy: 1
Odysseus: 0

The Lucy spacecraft has officially reached the Jupiter Trojan asteroid region, just 5 years after launch — half the time it took Odysseus to get home from his voyage to the Trojans.

King Henry VIII had quite the appetite. His meals were large and varied - venison, eel, porpoise, swan, and of course lots of sweets like this Tudor recipe for a Pear and Orange Tart. https://t.co/08GxGE7Aqu

Nobody really talks about this but we did, in fact, save the whales. They're doing really well now. And the ozone layer is getting thicker every day.

It’s #SunDay! Here’s your space weather report for Oct. 30-Nov. 5:
•1 M-class flare
•0 C-class flares
•11 coronal mass ejections
•1 geomagnetic storm

This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the week’s activity.

After a quiet stretch, the Sun woke up at the very end of this reporting period. Active region AR14566 rotated into view on the southeastern limb (lower left) around Nov. 3. Within about a day, its magnetic field had tangled into a complex arrangement that tends to produce strong flares.

On Nov. 5, AR14566 fired an M3.5 flare, the week’s strongest, along with a coronal mass ejection (not readily visible in this view) that sped away at about 2 million mph (915 km/s). The flare appears as a bright flash at about 2:59 in the video, to the left of and just below the Sun’s center. We’ll be watching this region as it crosses the Sun in the coming days.

Well, there we go. One thing me and Zelenskyy have in common. A James Blunt concert memory feat a family member. But in my case no skis, but rather a summer evening at the Prague castle.

Btw, at first I thought I was high watching this. (And that's before the punchline/end.)

Sehenswertes, privates Finish vom Gespräch Jan #Böhmermann und Wolodymyr #Selenskyj, wenn es um #JamesBlunt geht, der im selben Hotel Gast ist wie Selenskyj, die sich gegenseitig als Fan bezeichnen.
Großartig wie nah, persönlich und intim dieser menschliche Moment wirkt.

Saturn's moon Enceladus, the rings backlit by the Sun.
Cool to see jets of water/ice spewing into space, as the gravitational forces heat Enceladus' rocky core.
Look closely, you can see tiny moon Pandora, too. Cool neighbourhood we live in.

Auroras pulsing intensely through this orbital timelapse. Natural light shows! If you look closely, wisps of the higher altitude red auroras briefly appear within the sea of green before fading away, like sprites from a thunderstorm. Watching them never gets old!

If you only know Catherine of Aragon as ‘the sad one’, I have news.

At Blackfriars in 1529 she didn’t plead with Henry VIII, she outmanoeuvred him, and then she walked out while the crier shouted her name.

Feet dangling over Earth at 28000 km/hr. Don’t look down! (Kidding - definitely look down, because Earth is stunningly beautiful).
