Interesting article. I wonder though if the paraboloid shape is an outcome of SOC (Self Organised Criticality) !

Congratulations to the student and the guide !

Happy Holidays from the team of the Austrian Space Weather Office at the GeoSphere Austria!

It was truly inspiring to exchange ideas with leading heliophysics experts from around the world. Meetings like this continue to strengthen India’s connection with the global space weather and heliophysics community

It was an honour to deliver an invited talk at the historic Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre during the international meeting “The Variable Sun: Past, Present and Future Perspectives.”

I presented our recent work from the Austrian Space Weather Office, on understanding errors in solar wind predictions.

The paper captures:
✅ The status of Solar and Heliospheric Physics research in India and globally
✅ A forward-looking vision to deepen our understanding of the Sun and its influence on space weather
✅ The crucial role of Aditya-L1, India’s first solar space probe, in addressing key open questions

Indian solar and heliospheric physics vision: Fundamental science to a space weather resilient society - Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy The Sun is the only star that harbours a planet known to host life. Our home, the Earth, and other solar system planets reside within the heliosphere – the sphere of influence of the Sun. Within this ...

I was honored to be invited to contribute to this historical paper [link attached].
This visionary document brings together inputs from more than 60 scientists working in India and abroad, spanning all career stages and representing over 3 dozen organizations.

There is a slow #solarstorm approaching the Earth, with models for the 🌍 arrival time ranging from early Sat Jul 26 to early Mon Jul 28 - a very wide range indeed! In SDO/SOHO images it is NOT the fast eruption to the right (look for a ☄️ there!), but a faint "halo" around the ☀️ on early July 23.
