A trend I've seen in scientific talks this past few months is speakers including an AI-generated diagram only to say, "This is AI, so don't blame ME if it's wrong! Tee-hee!*" Dude. It's YOUR talk. YOU are responsible for its accuracy. Don't offload your laziness to AI. *tee hee added for emphasis.
Great to see StormWall getting a bit more traction in the broader press! Here's a gift link to the @mims.bsky.social story.
A Plan to Stop Solar Storms From Sending Us Back to the Stone Age
The plan involves school-bus-size satellites and a whole lot of salt, and it could provide an ionic ‘air bag’ for the Earth.

It is hard to explain how excited I am for this. It's going to be early-2000s AdultSwim if it was wayyyy too online in 2026.

Storm has arrived super late. Not super fast, but strong magnetic field. Bz is jumping up and down. Kp sitting around 6. The timing **sucks** for North America.
Big space weather news! Our work on assessing the feasibility of artificially stopping major space weather events has been published! Science magazine has released a news article on it! #spaceweather #aurora www.science.org/content/arti...
Radical proposal would block solar storms with orbital ‘airbag’
Gases released from satellites could slash the threat of severe space weather

I just downloaded 35 years of SuperMAG electrojet index data for reasons.

true i suppose but i don't think age is the big barrier preventing me from being an astronaut, it's that i'm stupid

The Afroman case is so emblematic of the farcical degeneracy of the criminal and civil justice systems.
Thanks to technology, bananas are becoming obsolete as pretend phones. The future belongs to the Pop-Tart.
This is why we need continuity of measurements,overlap and redundancy of measurements across different locations! The answer has real world implications for how we run and train models and understand how storms arrive at Earth from the sun!
Shocking contrast between the solar wind density values observed by IMAP versus ACE- as much as 20 times higher in the new IMAP versus the very old ACE!!! We know ACE is getting old, but holy smokes that's a staggering difference.
Had a great #AMS2026 on the space weather side. Probably my most productive AMS meeting in some time! Here are my big takeaways:
ICE murdered Renée Good in broad daylight. Less than 3 weeks later, they killed Alex Pretti, shooting him 10 times. Every day, we watch as people are ripped from their cars, their homes, their lives. We can't allow ourselves to look away from this cruelty. Abolish ICE.
"Ships immediately" My AMS presentation next week is going to be the fashion statement of the century.
Seeing all these aurora pics from Europe...
Damn, this storm is evolving fast. I can't keep up with everything. Auroral index is through the roof. GOES spacecraft are outside the magnetosphere (and scared, prolly). I can't keep up with the great people posting info in real time!!
Space weather storm is here! ...EARLY! This is a good sign for mid-latitude aurora. Unfortunately, real time solar wind data is giving erroneous velocity data (a near constant 300 km/s). We'll pay attention to density and magnetic field to see how this unfolds.
This was super cool to watch, especially the concluding message at the end about American cities. www.youtube.com/watch?v=c062... I love Detroit; my parents are from the city and it's part of my heritage. I have been lucky to do a lot of fun things in the city as of late.
