Zachary Gutierrez+FollowISS Telescope Just Leveled Up Sun GazingNASA’s new mini telescope on the ISS just dropped its first-ever close-ups of the sun’s outer atmosphere—and they’re wild. CODEX, basically a space eclipse machine, is catching never-before-seen temperature swings and massive solar streamers. Scientists are hyped because this could help us predict wild space weather (think: surprise auroras and geomagnetic storms). Perfect timing too, since the sun’s been extra dramatic lately. Can’t wait to see what else this space gadget uncovers! #NASA #SpaceNews #SolarScience #Science00Share
martinezlaura+FollowThe Sun Has Giant Magnetic Curtains?!Solar scientists just spotted 'magnetic curtains' on the Sun—think stripes as wide as a whole city, waving around thanks to crazy-strong magnetic fields. These were caught for the first time ever by a super high-res telescope in Hawai’i. The stripes are like the Sun’s fingerprints, showing off wild magnetic field changes. Basically, we’re seeing the Sun’s surface in more detail than ever before, and it’s blowing astronomers’ minds. Space weather just got a lot more interesting! #SpaceNews #SolarScience #Astronomy #Science00Share
Michael Flores+FollowThis Sunspot Just Won’t Quit!There’s a giant sunspot (nicknamed the 'senior citizen') that’s making its third lap around the sun—and it might break a 100-year-old record for longevity! Most sunspots last a week, but this one’s been hanging on for months, shrinking and growing, and even firing off solar flares. If it sticks around a bit longer, it could become the longest-lived sunspot ever recorded. Wild, right? #SpaceWeather #Sunspot #SolarScience #Science10Share
martinezlaura+FollowSolar Burst of Rare Helium-3 Detected!Check this out! 🌞 The sun just leaked a massive amount of helium-3, a super rare isotope! Detected by the Solar Orbiter, these particles usually hang out on the moon but made a special appearance on Earth. This could mean big things for fusion energy! 🔍 #SolarScience #Helium3 #SpaceExploration #Science50Share
