Last year, I has a really smashing group of #Orbyts school students (and their teacher @declanfleming) who discovered that the mysterious dark region of Jupiter's UV aurora is also dark in X-rays. The amazing work they did on it was published today in GRL:https://t.co/Ixyjm3zJEj
We provide free classroom resources through TES

Over 4750 downloads!
Finally! All 100 squares of the @RoyalAstroSoc#RASquilt have been stitched together โจ๐งต๐ซ just in time for the first in-person stitching session in in over two years๐ฎ
Hi all, we think there is a #meteorite in Wales! After a #fireball a week ago, anyone in the South Wales area please keep an eye out for small dark rocks in places they shouldnโt be!
There was another beautiful fireball over the UK last night โ๏ธ please check any doorbell csmeras, dash cams etc for any footage and send it to @UKMeteorNetwork so our @UK_Fireball team can have as much data as poss ๐โจ
Hi friends my PhD is due 3 weeks today & I would like to not be unemployed forever๐plz send me STEM/spacey/education/EDI jobs you think I might be interested in. Iโm open to academia/industry/govt/outreach/charity etc.I mostly just want to stay in central Scotland/N England!โ๏ธ๐ซ
Studying Jupiter at mid infrared wavelengths is the best because we can measure the H3+ emission to get temperature of the upper atmosphere AND ALSO the H3+ velocities which reveal how heat is transported AND the dynamic mechanism which generates Jupiter's aurora ๐๐๐ญ๐ฉโ๐ป๐
Not all fireballs are caused by #meteorites - Some are man-made โ๏ธ Here we see the Chinese Chang Zheng 5B (Y77) rocket, which launched in February 2021, re-entering Earthโs atmosphere and subsequently disintegrating in the skies over India. #fireball#spacedebris
