Is the magnetosphere talking to you? Or did you just take a few too many chewables?

Inquiring minds want to know.

"There's Something Weird Going On With the Northern Lights." Apparently they make sounds. Not unlike your drunk uncle at Thanksgiving dinners
 
There's Something Weird Going On With the Northern Lights

"The awe-inspiring visuals of the Aurora Borealis have fascinated humanity for centuries, but its most enduring mystery lies not in what we see but what some have claimed to hear for generations. Although such accounts have long been dismissed by modern science, could it be that these stories were right all along? 

Untold Earth explores the seeming impossibilities behind our planet's strangest, most unique natural wonders."

[On the origin of slow and fast solar winds] In late 2022 - early 2023, ESA's #SolarOrbiter probe orbited in relative proximity to the #Sun - less than 50 million kilometers away, enabling the onboard instruments to capture high-resolution images of #jets in coronal holes and make direct measurements of the solar wind.

These jets, omnipresent in the dark regions of the solar atmosphere, have been shown to be a source of both slow and fast #SolarWind: for almost a minute, they project charged particles at a speed of 100 km/sec.

Earth remains under the influence of a waning high-speed #SolarWind ☀️ stream. No Earth-directed coronal mass ejections (#CMEs) were observed over the past 24 hours. Earth’s #geomagnetic field 🌐 was unsettled to active over the past day. earthsky.org/sun/sun-news-acti

“Magic of the North”

Fires glow above and below in this award-winning image from photographer Josh Beames. In the foreground, lava from an Icelandic eruption spurts into the air and seeps across the landscape as it slowly cools. Above, the northern aurora ripples through the night sky, marking the dance of high-energy particles streaming into our atmosphere, guided by the lines of our magnetic field. Throw in some billowing turbulent smoke, and it’s hard to get more fluid dynamical (or beautiful!) than this. (Image credit: J. Beames/NLPOTY; via Colossal)
