What a great way to kick off Space Week at the IOP! 🚀🪐
Yesterday, @IOPSpaceGroup hosted a discussion of the National Space Strategy with Dr Paul Bates, CEO of @spacegovuk who talked about the UK space economy, highlighting the accelerating growth of new SMEs and businesses within this sector.
This was followed by a panel discussion with Dr Sarah Beardsley Director of @RAL_Space_STFC, Doug Liddle Director of Space at @BAESystemsplc, Prof Mark Sims @uniofleicester, Ian Bishop Head of UK Space Agency Sponsorship at @scitechgovuk and @DrJoannaHart Director of the Space Partnership.

Physics for a more sustainable world? Say less 🌟
Last week, John, the group's co-chair, attended the IOP Celebration of Physics. The event took place at Silverstone 🏎, where discussions, demonstrations, and networking were held.

Astronaut suits, star charts, and watches that have been to space! 🚀👨🚀
Before we start this new month, we'd like to share these photos taken by Alex, the IOP Space Group, at the Space Vault event last month! 🌌

We're joining the RAL Space Early Careers Conference! 🌌 Come say hi at our booth on 29 May ✨
Been almost half a week ago but we're still admiring the #aurora sightings we had! 🌌 Here are more photos from members and friends of the IOP Space Group! 🔭

Did you manage to see the aurora space 🌌 last weekend! Many of the group's members and friends were on the lookout--check out these photos they took! 🔭

Red alert: aurora likely. Issued 2024-05-11 15:57 UTC (16:57 BST) by @aurorawatchuk. #aurora – at United Kingdom

Update: Met Office forecasters have picked up additional earth-directed CMEs. We're forecasting Sunday night arrival for those, but when things are this CMEssy, there's huge uncertainty.

What an incredible night. Not a bad aurora viewing forecast too, although somehow it was again an underprediction. Perhaps more aurora again tonight! Will try to have the details later for you this evening.
TONIGHT'S AURORA+CLOUDS FORECAST:
We could potentially see the strongest solar storm impact since 2003/2005 as several solar storms launched from several days ago combine before reaching Earth. Our aurora visibility forecast shows aurora viewing possible north of the red line, with overhead viewing possible in the northern U.S. states. Closer to but north of the red line, viewing will likely only be possible on the northern horizon and/or with sensitive camera equipment. Locations south of the red line may have a more difficult time seeing aurora.
Clouds look to be best in the central and western portions of the country, and clouds may obscure viewing across the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast regions.
As the solar storm is expected to impact Earth in the next few hours, viewing may last all night tonight but will be most favorable during periods of higher geomagnetic activity (when the southward component of the magnetic field is the greatest).
For beginning observers, keep an eye on the Kp index which updates every 3 hours: swpc.noaa.gov/products/plane…
