“500,000-km Solar Prominence Eruption”

It’s difficult at times to fathom the scale and power of fluid dynamics beyond our day-to-day lives. Here, twists of the Sun‘s magnetic field propel a jet of plasma more than 500,000 kilometers out from its surface in an enormous solar prominence eruption. To give you a sense of scale for this random solar burp, that’s bigger than ten times the distance to satellites in geostationary orbit. (Image credit: P. Chou; via Colossal)

Solar geoengineering is gaining private money and momentum despite huge risks, weak oversight and fears that unregulated actors could deploy it long before the world is ready. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/commentary/2025/11/25/world/fixing-climate-change-by-dimming-the-sun/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #commentary #worldnews #climatechange #globalwarming #geoengineering #sun

No sun in the forecast today. Here's one I made many years ago. A baby quilt. The baby is now an adult.
#sun #quilt

An appliqué quilt hanging in a wall. The center is an appliqué sun with a face and blue eyes, over a patchwork of sunbeams radiating out. The frame is different tones of blue, with a yellow appliqué moon, comet, star, and planet in the corners.

Wow, after installing #solaris 2.5.1 on my #sun ultra 10, I can really see why people loved these old #Unix workstations.

It's so easy to develop some software on this!

Totally normal day, taking the #sun ultra 10 #unix workstation I just found at the #thriftstore to the hardware store. (Different kind of hardware)

It's called #solaris because sometimes you have to take your #sun workstation outside to recharge the solar batteries.

…and at night, when everything seems so dark you are starting to get crazy and hopeless, just remember: a new morning will come and a new sun will shine for you.

Sunrise by the sea. Everything is orange, the small sun is rising over the sea. What I wanted to express is that sometimes the night can drive you crazy. You can have a disturbed sleep or can’t sleep at all. At night, all your problems seem huge. Sometimes the night is a life phase. But things will improve and a new sun will shine, a new inner light will come and things will sort out.

I stopped my car after seeing a herd of cows and strolled along the side of the road at sunset. I was singing to these cows to get them both to look at me, trying to optimally position myself along the barbed wire fence to get the sun just above them. I definitely exposed for that sun, and I was fine with having a silhouette shot. There was some suspended dust from a gravel county road that was running behind them, which added some nice atmosphere. - Randall/Armstrong County line, Texas, USA #Sky #Sunset #cows #cattle #ranching #Texas #TexasPanhandle #sun #clouds #nature #animals #livestock #prairie #scenicsnature #outdoors #fall #autumn #Fujifilm #FujifilmXT5
