Infinite images with screen mirroring. I am always blown away by this although I have seen in many times.

I am so proud to see Sydney Kinsella graduating this spring. My two years research assistant, SPS president, and library/school visit body! You will be missed, Sydney! Wish you all the best of success!

At the Kirkland Town Public Library today. Good turn out. Lots of fun!

[Hava Turkakin @Phys_Fans]

Got bored as I was waiting for students to come by and pick Physics as major! Nobody came. Well what can I say. It’s your loss folks!

IN 45 DAYS, YOU WILL SEE HALLEY’S COMET.

Not with a telescope.
Not through a screen.
With your eyes, from your backyard.

Halley’s Comet returns every 76 years.
It was last visible in 1986.
It will swing through the inner solar system again in May.
And this time, it will be an easy naked-eye object.

Right now, it is a faint smudge even in telescopes.
But as it falls toward the Sun, it will brighten.
The coma will grow. The tail will stretch.
By mid-May, it will be as bright as the brightest stars.

You will find it low in the western sky after sunset.
A fuzzy star that does not twinkle.
A star that moves noticeably night after night.

Edmond Halley predicted this exact return in 1705.
He saw the same comet three times in his life.
You will see it once.
Maybe twice, if you live long enough.

Start checking the western horizon in early May.
The comet will be waiting.

Are you going to watch for it?

Keep looking up, Sydney! Keep looking up!

She put a note in the final exam “Dr. T this is diabolical! You gotta curve this exam”. She taught me a new word and gave me a new idea! Big thanks to Olivia Rosen for her diabolical description of a physic exam! Here is the result!

NASA released some new close up footage of solar flares and holy moly 😳

it doesn't even look real!

"NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory just released stunning close-range footage of solar flares, revealing the Sun as a maze of blazing plasma loops and chaotic magnetic fields.

The new recording shows dark filaments slicing across bright, twisting arcs as massive bursts of energy erupt and reshape in real time.

To put the scale in perspective: the Sun is about 1.39 million km wide, roughly 109 times the size of Earth. What looks like small sparks in the footage are actually structures larger than our entire planet.

These visuals aren't just beautiful, they're a reminder of how powerful and unpredictable our nearest star truly is."

Still one of the most insane solar eruption ever captured ☀

This is hands down my favourite #SolarFlare in recent years, an event from September 2024. The flare persisted for several hours, giving us a jaw-dropping view of ‘coronal rain’ (seen in the yellow structure) and ‘supra-arcade downflows’ (seen in the cyan structure). A beauty!

Years of research by Dr. Linnéa Franits has led to a new book that examines the texts and other artistic works by siblings of individuals with disabilities, interrogating the impact of disability on the identity of non-disabled siblings.
