Excited for the first deployment of @Starlink V3 sats - we’ve successfully communicated with all sats using RF and laser links and been able to download key telemetry.

Starship soared on the second flight of the next generation, deploying advanced Starlink satellites for the first time and providing priceless data as it travelled through air, space, and sea → https://t.co/Rp7VwBzpWx

Solar chromospheric fibrils.

When observed in the H-alpha spectral line, the chromosphere reveals a very complex structure made up of elongated fibrils having different lengths and orientations. They are believed to trace magnetic field lines in the chromosphere. The longest fibrils are nearly horizontal and connect sunspots or plage regions of opposite polarity, often spanning large separations. They are rather static. Also, there are shorter, more vertical fibrils rooted in active region plage that show impressive dynamics, with swaying and rotational motions, and jets that push chromospheric plasma upwards.

Both types of fibrils reveal the full complexity of the solar chromosphere, but we still do not know much about their properties, origin, and relation to the chromospheric magnetic field. The dynamics of the short fibrils, however, is consistent with the driver being photospheric oscillations that leak into the chromosphere through inclined magnetic structures. At chromospheric heights, they develop into shocks and produce their characteristic jet-like behavior.

The movie shows dramatic examples of dynamic fibrils and jets in active regions. The observations were taken near the core of the H-alpha line with the SOUP instrument at the Swedish 1-m Solar Telescope. Sometimes the images get a bit blurred because of turbulence in the Earth's atmosphere. During the sequence, a relatively large jet (called H-alpha surge) launches material to higher layers and then decays, showing very rapid changes and fine structure during its entire evolution.

The JUICE mission from @esa returns to Earth this month for a gravitational assist from both the Moon & Earth. It's destination is Jupiter, where it will study its moons and even orbit Ganymede before crashing into it. @ESA_JUICE

The No lobby talk as if all Australians are equal, and Indigenous people are asking for something more. It (maliciously) ignores how European colonialism has left Indigenous people the most disadvantaged in their own country. This is about redressing the imbalance.
