My excellent friend @spaceJamieJ discovered that lots of Uranus's mysterious behaviour that we've talked about for decades, based on Voyager 2s flyby, happened during really extreme solar wind conditions. It's out today here: https://t.co/0taEEwX5ev . May be some news coverage.

I visited the Stefànik Observatory in Prague and found this display. The image in the top box is the first image of Jupiter taken by XMM-Newton. The planet's northern and southern X-ray aurorae are clearly shown in orange. My PhD supervisor was the one who produced that image 🥹

What a week in Berlin for #EPSC2024! I gave a solicited talk about Uranus, caught up with old friends, watched a planetarium show and even gave a live TV interview for BBC News about the Polaris Dawn spacewalk! Thanks to @einionyn and @MSSL_Planetary for the first 3 photos.

My 2nd ep of Unexpected Elements is now live! We talk about Matt Stutzman "The Armless Archer" who has a unique training strategy, a woman who has no fear, an octopus who shoots off an arm in his quest for a mate, space crisps & the end of @ESA_Cluster
