About an hour ago, the sky turned blood red over Bavaria, Germany. It's the first time I've ever seen an #Aurora in my life. It was so bright to be easily visible with the naked eye. An absolutely jawdropping experience. 🖖😳✨

at 22:29 they got a lot brighter, covering half if the sky; even some green visible at the bottom; another 10s exposure
vertical 10s exposure at 22:37
before fading again, they moved westward in front of the moon, here an 10s exposure at 22:46 showing distinct lines shaped by the magnetic field

Hi all! I'm still in a newsletter subscription push mode -- with the demise of the bird app, it's gotten really hard to get the word out about projects like this that don't have an internal algorithm to help people find it.

If you like #space, #science, #stem, or just want to support a woman of color doing STEM stuff -- please subscribe! Ad Astra is a weekly newsletter that tells you what's going on in space science and spaceflight.

Tomorrow, The Dutch will have 12 hours with a negative (day ahead) electricity price, and a couple of hours with a price equal to zero.
This is caused by a high production of wind energy in NW-Europe, combined with a relative low ('Sunday') power demand.

Although to a lesser extend, neighbouring countries witness as well a significant number of hours with negative power prices.

I expect, this phenomenon will increase significantly in coming years. Agree?

It's official: Google has committed to turning Chrome into spyware. Even more disgusting is that it's trying to brand unavoidable surveillance as a "Privacy Sandbox."

Don't use Chrome. Go to Firefox or Vivaldi.

1/ Video of the terrifying moment a second #Russian cruise missile strikes the #Reikartz Hotel in #Zaporizhzhya (often used by #UN staff when they're in the city). This was a deliberate double attack on a hotel used by foreigners, with high-precision cruise missiles.
