Mechazilla has caught the Super Heavy booster!

[Sawyer Merritt @SawyerMerritt]

BREAKING: SpaceX just successfully caught its Super Heavy rocket booster in mid-air on its first try! This is the first time anyone has accomplished such a feat, marking one of the most significant engineering achievements in human history.

Congrats @SpaceX team! 🚀

What an achievement!

Insane structure near Hammon, OK! #okwx

As the fast-moving cold front encounters the wildfires scorching Texas and Oklahoma, the fires are oriented from east to south following the new wind direction.

A X5.0 flare (R3 strong radio blackout) peaked at 4:55 p.m. EST today. It was the strongest flare observed since Sep. 2017 and came from the same region as the last major flare on Dec. 14.

Weerfotograaf @SytseSchoustra keek graag naar de hemel. Maar te vroeg heeft hij afscheid moeten nemen van zijn geliefden. En zij van hem.😢

Bookmark this to understand CME structures better via BT/BZ.

CME’s normally come in 3-5 part structures but for this case we’ll stick with an easy 3-part structure

1) CMEs impact our satellites at L1 with a shock and have ~ 55-65 minutes to impact earth.

2) There will likely be a sheath period of various magnetic field structures that cause the BZ to flip very positive and negative easily

3) There will likely be a negative core or a positive core within the CME *IF* the CME core impacts. For CMEs to be geoeffective they will need to have -BZ.

Hope this helps when you’re reading data throughout the week.

I spy with my little eye a M9.96 flare with an associated CME on the way from center disk. 😍

Dit jaar is al geweldig voor Noorderlicht, en ook vanavond was het er weer! #noorderlicht #aurora

Vermaak ten top! Uitgerekend de meneer die bij elk weerbedrijf in Nederland is afgewezen, doet structureel aan auteursrechtenschending en het bewust afbranden van mensen. Kun je het best negeren, maar soms moet je ze de aandacht geven waarom ze vragen 👇

@pgroenemeijer Ongekende activiteit in die regio's.. 😅 Zeer zorgwekkend.

[Pieter Groenemeijer 🇪🇺💙💛 @pgroenemeijer]

I have never seen anything even remotely like this before. Since yesterday evening, one supercell after the other tracked roughly from Milan to Venice to Zagreb while producing around 10 cm large iceballs. Absolutely insane.
