Just catching up with the weekend’s solar activity - what a bizarre plasma formation this is! The way it rotates and suddenly decelerates? Wow! #astronomy #spaceweather (data: AIA)
the surface of the Sun... in stunning detail... generated by a computer 😮😮😮 i'm still amazed on the amount of work these solar physicists have put in these numerical models

I spent 3 hours yesterday with my solar telescope pointed at a tall tornado-y looking thing on the sun. This 14-Earths-tall swirling column of plasma was raining moon-sized gobs of incandescent material on the sun. I can't imagine a more hellish place.

30 hours of plasma dancing at the top of the Sun. I see two ballerinas and then a Christmas tree. What about you? #spaceweather

When anyone tells me they consider geometry in 3D intuitive but not higher dimensional objects I always show them Gabriels horn (Torricelli's trumpet) obtained by rotating 1/x around the x-axis.
Gabriels horn has a finite volume but infinite surface area.

I always thought it odd that the assigned values of chess pieces are integers.
Given the complexity of the game that can't really be true, can it?
And indeed it isn't. A short thread 🧵 1/7

Who would have thought that adding a Sierpinski Triangle Fractal as musical notes would actually sound good!😅

All good things come in threes! The third proper launch attempt of the Artemis 1 mission to the Moon is scheduled for tomorrow, Nov 16, at 01:04 a.m. EST (06:04 a.m. UTC). We provide you with an updated travel plan to keep up with the crew’s location during their 25-day journey.

Everyone knows that all circles are similar. But did you know that all parabolas are similar?
The ratio of the red arc and the blue focal segment is
√2 + log(1+√2) = 2.29558...
for every parabola.
This is the universal parabolic constant, the “π of parabolas”.
