One of the documentaries that covered the @rocRMSC and the community's eclipse work premiered at the start of May. This 10-minute documentary was directed by Lucas Sherron, an @RITtigers student majoring in Film Production. #eclipse2024

Here at @NASA, we don’t take geology for granite.
Enjoy this rock-solid episode of Surprisingly STEM and learn how exploration geologist Angela Garcia is training @NASA_Astronauts to explore for the crater good of humanity.
May 2024 on the Sun! The month was certainly noteworthy, providing us with: 1) Strongest geomagnetic storm since 2003. 2) Highest sunspot count since 2002. 3) Strongest #SolarFlare since 2017. More to come? Most likely! #spaceweather#astronomy
Today's X1.4 flare and associated "sun burp" is indeed expected to have some bite with regard to auroras. NOAA suggests G2 level conditions could develop Friday night into Saturday morning.
At G2, faint auroras can be seen (and certainly photographed) from WNY. For the rest of the country, G2 storms tend to keep aurora visibility limited to far northern states. As several active sunspot regions continue to rotate Earthside, additional eruptions could present more chances ahead to see auroras.
The total solar eclipse has come and gone, bringing with it different experiences for people across New York. It was a true once-in-a-lifetime event. The question now is, how will it be remembered? @ViktoriaKrista has more: https://t.co/cHJTX3ltKV
Black holes are black because no light can escape them. But download our black hole coloring pages, and you can make them whatever color you want! We’d love to see your creations. #ColorWithNASA#BlackHoleWeek️

BRIGHT SPOT: Local Rotary districts collected over 50,000 eclipse glasses after April 8, donating the pairs to an organization that distributes them for eclipses in other countries, or gives them to educational institutions for teaching purposes.

Happy National Space Day!
National Space Day is celebrated annually on the first Friday of May. Today is the perfect day to wear space-related clothing, look up at the moon (it's out for most of today), and celebrate all things space!

That was some eclipse, huh? While the next one won't appear in the sky anywhere near Rochester, we'll still have our memories of these great Eclipse Robots that the kids made on a recent Maker Monday!
Tyler Nordgren has had a 30-piece eclipse art exhibit touring the Greater Rochester Region. He is now putting a collection of those pieces up for auction to benefit ALS research, including the Rochester, Finger Lakes, and Erie Canal posters:
