A failed LES CM1 simulation can become creepy art with the correct choice of a colormap.
Generally not a huge storm chase anniversary person but shoutout to the Silverton, TX storm 2 years ago today, perhaps my most relaxed/serene tornado encounter.
Falcon 9 and its shockwave transiting the Sun 29.5.26 The video is edited here, zoomed in and slowed down 📽️John Winkopp SpaceCoastPictures x.com/John_Winkopp...
A good elevated supercell and roll cloud this morning over Norman.
A bit of a different take on the amazing Artemis II launch footage. Here I stitched clips from the four Solar Array Wing Cameras to make this panoramic video. This is during the later part of the Core Stage burn until MECO and stage separation, sped up to 10x. 🔭🧪 #Artemis
Full panorama of the 2025 Dickens/Wellfleet LP tornado+supercell! View is looking ESE up into the mesocyclone. The RFD clear slot is visible in the upper right, and in the distance on the bottom left you can even see a bit of the FFCB. Stationary supercell with deviant westerly tornado. Perfection!
For #AMS2026 - John and @pamknox.bsky.social report that Elevator #14 at the headquarters Hilton should be avoided at all costs. They had to be freed from it by Houston Fire Dept after it got stuck, and the FD told them it happens regularly with that elevator.
Another of my recent images and a rare backyard capture, this is ~100hrs on the Veil Nebula complex, a large supernova remnant in the constellation Cygnus Captured from my backyard with my Pleiades68 telescope #astrophotography
Getting reallllllllllly tired of my profession being painted as the bad guy when we're all just a bunch of nerds who want you to be safe from tornadoes.
Just trying to simulate a tornado but the ring of turbulence I added turned out to be the one ring of power, and I have captured the direct attention of Sauron himself.
This is hands down the most extraordinary dropsonde in Atlantic recon history.
Calling all ensemble forecast system enthusiasts! The State of Texas is funding development of a new ensemble prediction system (100 members, 2km grid spacing) with an embedded WoFS interface, to be developed at Texas Tech! Passing along 3 open research scientist positions towards that development:
