At least two people were confirmed dead and four missing Tuesday morning, after Typhoon Dujuan brought record-breaking rainfall to eastern Japan, triggering landslides, flooding and widespread disruption of transport. 👉 https://t.co/WZ71mun6ew
A stunning photograph of Corfe Castle, Dorset, taken in 1927. The area has been inhabited since prehistoric times and later farmed by the Celtic Durotriges tribe. King Edward the Martyr was murdered here on 18th March 978.
The village grew around the medieval castle as workers, traders, craftsmen, inns and other services settled there permanently 🏴
It’s #SunDay! Here’s your space weather report for the week of Sept. 11 - Sept. 17:
• 0 M-class flares
• 0 C-class flares (only counted if associated with coronal mass ejections)
• 17 coronal mass ejections
• 0 geomagnetic storms
This video from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory shows the week’s activity.
A quiet week on the Sun as a cluster of active regions move across the Sun’s disk and around the limb. As of Friday, Sept. 18, there are no active regions on the Earth-facing side of the Sun.
The dark “strips” across the Sun that emerge towards the end of the video are coronal holes. These cooler bands of solar material on the Sun (which make them appear darker) are where the Sun’s magnetic field lines open up to space, allowing high-speed solar wind to escape.

There are plenty of tiny ducklings waddling around the Australia Zoo Wildlife Hospital at the moment! 🐥
While many of our ducklings have hatched here at the Hospital, this little group was brought in after being found orphaned. They’re now having their first health checks with our team before heading off to dedicated wildlife carers, where they can grow, learn and develop before returning to the wild. 🥰
We’re certainly not short on cuteness around here! 💛
A Meeting of Giants: A Rare Shot from the Voyager Archives 🛰
In this historic image, the moons Europa and Io are captured against the backdrop of Jupiter’s Great Red Spot. The scale is impressive: the giant storm—which has been raging on the gas giant for centuries—could easily swallow the entire Earth, while the passing moons vividly illustrate the colossal size of the Solar System's largest planet.
Trauma season is here, and the numbers are already soaring. 💔
This month alone, 60 koalas have come through our doors needing care, making this the busiest start to trauma season yet. With our busiest months still ahead, our team is preparing to give every koala the best chance of returning to the wild. 🌿🐨
