☀️ We have a new paper out—work led by @drbjl.bsky.social: We analysed a simulated CME via synthetic (remote-sensing and in-situ) observations, incl. Parker Solar Probe-like encounters close to 10 Rs and WISPR imaging. We reproduced many features found in real data. ApJS link: doi.org/10.3847/1538...

Omggg you have started it too at the end! @tamersto.bsky.social and I are also hard at work on the quest 💪🏻 we should all compare results in January 2026 😂
Just witnessed the launch of #PUNCH and #SPHEREx, the rocket emerging from behind the LA skyline and over the ocean here in Orange County 🚀🛰️🛰️ A super cool view, good luck to the two missions! (and congrats @drzowie.bsky.social ☺️)
On the way home from a week in New Orleans for #AMS25, looking forward to visiting again in December for #AGU25!
This sounds amazing, please post a pic of the final product when ready! 😊
☀️ Parker Solar Probe sent a beacon home to confirm that it successfully survived the historic flyby (closest approach to the Sun!), so it's now safe to share this 🙃
Ahh exciting, is there or will there be a recording available?
Happening on Xmas Eve: Parker Solar Probe's first-ever closest approach to the Sun, at a distance of only 9.86 solar radii, is scheduled for ~11:45 UT on Dec 24, 2024. This animation shows the trajectory of Parker's Encounter 22 projected onto the solar equatorial plane ☀️🛰️ #heliophysics #parker
...to the (space)craft! 😜

Newest addition to the spacecraft family on my arm: #heliophysics legend and fellow 90s kid SOHO 🛰️ #spacetattoo
I just noticed Jim looking amazed in the background 😂
Extremely thrilled to have participated in this very cool work led by @nonlinearchris.bsky.social, who is giving an excellent rundown of the results in this video/interview. We used Parker Solar Probe data to find evidence of synchrotron radiation generated at CME-driven shock waves ☀️ #heliophysics
Fun fact: Venus is the third brightest object in the sky (after the Sun and the Moon, duh) if we only consider natural bodies, but gets bumped to fourth position if we include artificial satellites—in that case, the bronze medal goes to the International Space Station (ISS)
Concluded my #AGU24 with a Friday afternoon poster on modelling CME–CME interactions from the solar corona to 1 au ☀️

Here we go again #AGU24
🙋🏻♀️☀️!
Kicking off this Bluesky thing with a fresh new paper! We analysed and modelled a CME that impacted four spacecraft spread out between ~0.4 and 1 au from the Sun—we investigated radial evolution and whether measurements at an inner probe improve predictions at an outer one: doi.org/10.1093/mnra...
Hello, Solar System ☀️
