He’s the first person to witness the launch of a spacecraft named after him. 😎 🚀
Dr. Eugene Parker won the 2020 Crafoord Prize in Astronomy and NASA's Dr. Nicky Fox was there to present it in person (and snap a few pictures) 😉

The latest M1.7 flare (from AR 12891) was remarkably eruptive. A great "twin-dimming" event, suggestive of a major eruption. I find it irresistible to say it will have an impact on Earth on 4 November. The frames taken from Solar Demon while we have a server problem @markcheung.
For any undergrads interested in solar physics (or current grads interested in postdoc opportunities), the @AAS_Office Solar Physics Division is hosting a virtual opportunity fair this Friday! https://t.co/cqLqq8BntK
New paper on the arxiv, and coming soon to an ApJ near you! McCarthy, Longcope and Malanushenko, "Multi-spacecraft observations of coronal loops to verify a force-free field reconstruction and infer loop cross sections" https://t.co/2fSCJvH6tV

Today in journal club I lead discussion on this paper about using data from a 1806 eclipse to infer properties of the magnetic field. I'm in awe re: the historical record and in regards to how humans have always observed the Sun https://t.co/E9M0XAbbbC
There are hardware issues at the National Solar Observatory (NSO) that are affecting both the VSO instance and the also the data providers at NSO. We have no ETA for resolving this at the moment.
