Hey asteroid and meteorite people -- evidence that 70% of meteorites come from the same three collisional events. If this is so, then we may know so much less about the composition and history of planetesimals than we thought! https://t.co/yXJnS1VtKw

I do love a peaceful walk at night on Glastonbury Tor. This was taken a few days ago but not posted yet as still trying to catch up after the recent aurora night images. I hope you like it.

If you're seeing the Northern Lights tonight, here's an explainer of how the different colors can appear! We are currently seeing a vivid display of pinks and greens here at the office!

[Vincent Ledvina @Vincent_Ledvina]

Stunning. This is what the aurora looked like over the U.S. last night from a satellite passing over.

Did you see the auroras?

Another map case study is being done! Post in the comments a picture you’d like to use, a location AND A TIMESTAMP.

Congratulations everyone!

Goodness what a night, visible colour and aurora in every direction, more photots to come,…. From Ottawa #northernlights #AuroraBorealis

[Landon Moeller @landon_wx]

Folks, this is not a joke. Get out with your loved ones if you have clear skies and watch this, you won’t forget this night. The aurora borealis will make the skies bright with color tonight all across the country!

Spectacular view of the Aurora Borealis (Northern Lights) from the office this evening.

How to Photograph the Northern Lights With a Smartphone. An 𝕏 thread.

With our CME now impacting Earth, it's time to get those cameras charged and final preparations ready to photograph the Northern Lights!

“But what if I don’t have an actual camera?” That’s fine! The majority of modern day smartphones can easily perform well enough to capture crisp, clear pictures of the Northern Lights. In this thread, I will show you what settings I use to photograph the Northern Lights with my Galaxy S23 Ultra!

Peering out a Dragon Endeavor window that frames red and green aurora streaming by Dragon Freedom docked to the front of the International Space Station.

When Crew-9 arrived I moved out of my crew quarters on the ISS to make room for @AstroHague. I now sleep in Dragon Endeavor while we wait to undock. We take most of our images from the cupola, but sleeping here has been amazing. This is the view out the window this evening . . . I miss my family and friends but we would have missed today’s insane aurora if we had undocked today. I watched the aurora with @astro_Pettit today from the cupola and on a later pass I watched it from Endeavor with @AstroHague.

orion is rising earlier and earlier as winter approaches. one of my favorite constellations will soon stand tall over the northern hemisphere. always a gorgeous sight!

[Michelle Cowbourne @Glastomichelle]

Very very diffused aurora a few hours ago on Glastonbury Tor. It wasn't very obvious but it was still there! Now sleep!
