Keeping my fingers crossed for ya on the U.S west coast.
It's only 9:30 pm pt there.

Will check back in another hour to see if anyone posts anything more than purple sky glow.

BTW: for anyone not familiar with #STEVE it's aurora related but it's caused by the gas, not directly by the charged particles.
Still pretty enchanting
to watch though!

U.S/CA Keep an eye on the NOAA geomagnetic activity tracker Tonight-Sunday.
Folks as far south as Alabama, U.S may be treated to an #aurora.
In fact, with 5 CMEs headed our way, everyone across the globe should keep an eye on the night time sky.

Heads Up!

Extremely Rare #citizenScience opportunity for #astronomy #astrophysics #astrodon #universeodon enthusiasts!

This year, there will be a nova, before or by September, as bright as the North Star.
After peak brightness it will remain bright enough, for several days, to observe with binoculars.

You can help research scientists with observational details.

How fish communicate.

Did you know? Some fish make a sound so loud it rivals a pneumatic drill.
And some use a series of hums and farts to communicate.

in a 24 hour period

Discovery Alert.

A rare case of an in-sync gravitational lockstep in a solar system.

A star smaller and cooler than our Sun hosts a truly strange family of planets: six “sub-Neptunes” – possibly smaller versions of our own Neptune – moving in a cyclic rhythm. This orbital waltz repeats itself so precisely it can be readily set to music.
