#BlueGhost got her first diamond ring! Captured at our landing site in the Moon’s Mare Crisium around 3:30 am CDT, the photo shows the sun about to emerge from totality behind Earth. Hope to have more shots to share soon! #BGM1

That delightful rush of rejecting garbage paper—not just out of cruelty, but as an overlord guarding academia world and banishing bad research to the void. 😈

The strongest 24 flares of 2024! ✨

I parsed pages from https://t.co/G03B7hC3oT, capturing the date, location, and class of each flare, then illustrated it all in Procreate Dreams. Kind of mixed media #dataviz.

The Subaru-Asahi Star Camera at the #SubaruTelescope facility, Maunakea, Hawai‘i, captured over 150 meteors in one hour from 1:10 to 2:10 a.m. on December 13, 2024 (HST) despite the bright moonlight, as shown in this summary picture. Most meteors belong to #Geminids.

Reconnection 🤍
We had like 5 posters at #ESWW2024 conference and totally covered the place with coronal dimmings🌚

One billion-dollar budget, yet nothing original... but glad Kanye was inspired by our space weather documentary with @Skoltech 🤭

[Variety @Variety]

A mystery-shrouded documentary about Kanye West has surfaced.

Entitled “In Whose Name?,” the project, according to its description, “promises to offer a unique and cinematic perspective on Ye’s public transformation.” https://t.co/tEG0wrhqpJ

POV: you are the LOCAL organizer of a European Symposium on Hvar island😍🌌

I wanted to add hashtag #ecrs2024, but here it stands not for Cosmic Rays, but Coral Reef Symposium! It's unusual for me to see so many biodiversity pictures (>0) in scientific presentations 🐚🐳🐙🪸🐠

It is a *mess* out there.

An office mug for our great PI, Mateja 🥳. Visualizing a day when this turns into a real paper about launching a new instrument for CME research.🤭 🛰☀️🛰
