Do #switchbacks lead to #solarwind acceleration? We think they do, via thermal energy exchanges.

Presented my work to the community at @NAM2023_Cardiff that I did with @ydnad0 @cessi_iiserkol .

The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics goes to John Clarke, Michel Devoret, and John Martinis —

“for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit.”

Here's what I understand of their work (experts feel free to chime in) 🧵

Happy to report that the first research paper from the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (SUIT) onboard the #AdityaL1 space mission has appeared online in Astrophysical Journal Letters today.

The observarions have imaged the Sun in some wavelengths never seen before and reveals how energy flows associated with an intense Solar flare couples various layers of the solar atmosphere.

SUIT was developed by a consortium led by @IUCAApune to which we at @cessi_iiserkol @iiserkol contributed @EduMinOfIndia

Paper available online

I captured the entire "Planetary Parade" using my 11" telescope, and combined everything into one composite photo that stayed true to the angular scale of these objects.

Made entirely with real photos, I hope this composite helps illustrate the scale of these things!

The first science result from the Aditya-L1 mission, India’s first scientific mission dedicated to studying the Sun, is out.

How does solar wind reach speeds of almost 2 million km/h?
🌊 The investigative duo @ESASolarOrbiter and @NASASun’s Parker Solar Probe demonstrate that fast wind gets its energy by riding magnetic waves 👉 https://t.co/76UMUur5YO

Nothing against cricketers, treat all sports equally: Chirag Shetty | Badminton News - Times of India

Chirag Shetty is from Mumbai.

Did @CMOMaharashtra office consider felicitating Chirag, while they announced 11cr to four Maharashtra cricketers.

Lesser mortals like us cannot comprehend the kind of mental toughness that is required:
- To Score 76 in a final when you have failed in the entire tournament
- To hold a crucial magical catch on the boundary line.
- To bowl 4 overs for just 18 runs
- To captain a world cup winning team
- For a young kid to bowl 19th over and give just 4 runs
- To bowl the final over and take two wickets when you have been trolled like mad for months
- To win when they needed 30 off 30 with 5 wickets remaining
- To coach a team of superstars to Glory

Deepest respect for this India team! You are Heroes!

Hey, all, I just wrote a blog article titled, "ISO is NOT What You Think It Is - What is ISO, really?"

https://t.co/eUa8hJfpaU

It's a deep dive into what ISO in photography actually is and how you can use that knowledge to take better photos. Give it a read if you have time!

Friday night was comparable to storms in 2003 and 1989. They're roughly 1-in-20-years events.

But that doesn't necessarily mean the next one won't be for 20 years. It could be next week - they're quasi-random. There's a 5% chance of one happening in any given year. (1/3)

[Brian Cox @ProfBrianCox]

As you watch the Aurora this evening, it’s worth reflecting that you’re getting a rare direct glimpse of the power of Nature. Those charged particles causing the atmosphere to glow came from a sunspot complex 17 times the diameter of Earth and traveled across 90 million miles at a million miles an hour. Without our magnetic field to protect us, our atmosphere would have been lost to space long ago. Those colours in the sky are Nature reminding us that we’re very lucky to be here amidst the violence. And perhaps therefore also reminding us not to shite it all up :-)

Yesterday it was his last formal lecture at @IISERKol_DPS @iiserkol
The Lecture Hall Complex witnessed heart touching moments as he walked out of the classroom.

He is none other than the stalwart cosmologist and a legendary teacher Prof Narayan Banerjee!
