Do you like #space 🌌 ? Do you like #comets ☄ ? Do you like data analysis 👩‍💻 ? If you answered yes, to all of those, you can apply for a #PhD with me to work on @esa mission data to explore the cometary electron environment using #machinelearning. https://t.co/TyfTv0w5Fl

It is a *mess* out there.

[Dr William Dunn @astro__will]

Our Orbyts team worked super hard in our free time to write our first Impact report based on the last 6 years of programme evaluation, so we're mega excited to share it with you: https://t.co/rJ3dkpHADH

We've made some predictions for the CME(s) observed at Solar Orbiter on 18th March! We should be seeing them arrive at Earth later this evening, all the way into tomorrow. And look at that Southwards magnetic field 👀 We're expecting a double-dip geomagnetic storm, so auroras! 🌞

🚨🚨MIST Nugget Alert:🚨🚨
@ASmith0005 presents a new method that automatically produces encoded representations of two dimensional data, capturing the key characteristics of the observations that can be directly compared to each other.

I’m honored to have been nominated! Feeling very privileged to have had the opportunities I have had over the past couple of years and to have worked with such talented colleagues.

[Royal Astronomical Society @RoyalAstroSoc]

The Winton Award for #Geophysics has been awarded to Dr Andy W. Smith of @NorthumbriaUni.

@ASmith0005 is recognised for his contributions to our understanding of magnetic reconnection at both Saturn and Mercury, as well as the effects of Space Weather on Earth.

Orbyts aims to improve inclusivity in science by partnering early-career scientists with schools to give students the chance to lead research of their own. Over the coming months, we will be highlighting the amazing work done by our students in 2023🤩

From the impact of the first substorm last night. This Auroral Bead display is my favourite image of the night.

I traveled halfway across the world to try and take the best photo of the Milky Way I could. After spending a full month on it, the resulting image is my most detailed and most complete photo of our home galaxy. What do you think, was it worth the effort?

⚠️DO NOT point a telescope at the sun. This was done using special equipment.

The sun put on a great show today. These massive prominences are many times larger than Earth, illustrating how the sun's powerful magnetic field shapes the incredible solar atmosphere.

[Prof Jim Wild @jim_wild]

The 2023 update of the UK Government's National Risk Register has been published today. Interesting that impact of severe space weather has been increased from “Moderate” in the previous (2020) document to “Significant”in the latest version. #SpaceWeather https://t.co/ipW5FrfmLI
