Thank you to everyone that donated to us yesterday during #PurdueDayofGiving! We reached 29th place on the student organization leader board!

These donations will fund new events and equipment to aid us in our mission to educate and promote the appreciation of astronomy!

Happy #PrideDay to our LGBTQIA+ colleagues! 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

#OTD in 1969, the first Pride protests took place, starting with the spontaneous Stonewall riots.

Our commitment to creating a welcoming space continues year-round. There's a place for you at Rubin 🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

Had a blast getting to watch @astro_dan_mil and @fox_ori talk about JWST and our group's work on Cas A on @CNN! Dan does amazing work and is a fantastic advisor so it was great getting to see him get national recognition!

And thanks to Dan for inviting us over for a watch party!

The word’s largest camera built for astronomy and astrophysics has arrived at Rubin Observatory!

The LSST Camera completed a cross-continental trek from @SLAClab after two decades of work, marking the arrival of Rubin’s last major component in Chile.

Because of all the solar activity and excitement around the sun the past few days, I went out and took some images/timelapses using our departments new solar scope.

It's crazy how active the sun is as it approaches solar maximum!

The geomagnetic storm rages on! Hours after I gave up, @PurduePhysAstro graduates @dylancaudill20 and M. Aguilar captured these gorgeous photos of Mother Nature dressed in vibrant colors of the #aurora in the early hours of Mother’s Day, between cornfields of Brookston, IN.

My @PurduePhysAstro student @BradenGarretson imaged the *massive* 16-Earth-diameter-wide sunspot today.

Just learned that the geomagnetic storm has been upgraded to an EXTREME G5. WOW!

Thank you @PurduePhysAstro for hosting @PPHSIndyNorth Rocketry 🚀 & Astronomy 🔭 Passion Projects!
An amazing day of ‘out-of-this-world’ learning from galaxies to exploded supernova in AR/VR.

Still have your solar viewing glasses from last month’s eclipse?

If so, break ‘em out!

If you have sunny skies, you can currently see a huge sunspot group on the Sun with nothing more than your solar viewing glasses. ☀️

[PAC @PurdueAstroClub]

If you get the chance and still have your solar eclipse glasses, there's currently a massive sun spot that should be visible to the naked eye!

You may also be able to see the northern lights tonight in the northern US!

Last summer, the Purdue Astronomy Club 🔭 participated in Boiler Gold Rush in with @PurduePhysAstro and helped introduce upwards of 1k freshmen to the night sky.
