I saw in a dream a table where all the elements fell into place as required. Awakening, I immediately wrote it down on a piece of paper. -- as mentioned in Dmitri Mendeleev's diary

Remember the big solar storm in May? Scientists have just discovered that, in addition to creating spellbinding auroras, the storm also made a new temporary ring of charged, high-energy particles encircling Earth.

“Man is the most insane species. He worships an invisible God and destroys a visible Nature. Unaware that this Nature he’s destroying is this God he’s worshiping.” -- Hubert Reeves (1932 - 2023) He would have turned 92 today. He passed away last year in Paris.

Our Parker Solar Probe swooped past the Sun for the 20th time on June 30, coming within about 4.51 million miles (7.26 million kilometers) of the solar surface—closer than any other human-made object: go.nasa.gov/4cSYzfK

Where there is life there is a pattern, and where there is a pattern there is mathematics. Once that germ of rationality and order exists to turn a chaos into a cosmos, then so does mathematics. There could not be a non-mathematical Universe containing living observers. - John D. Barrow, The Artful Universe (1995)

On the solar surface, the Sun’s magnetic field is about 20 Gauss, 2X stronger than Earth’s. In active regions where flares erupt it reaches 100 Gauss. Sunspots can be over 1000 Gauss! 🧲💪 But #DYK there are places on the Sun where there’s no magnetic field at all? ⬇️
