Partial Solar Eclipse in New Jersey was observed at 90%. Here are some tips on how to see the eclipse. The eclipse began at 2.09 pm and lasted till 4.35 pm. The maximum eclipsed sun was between 3.18 pm - 3.22 pm. Make sure you have solar eclipse glasses to view any solar eclipse. Naked eye observations is harmful. #TotalSolarEclipse #tseusa #astronomy #astronomyeducation #astronomytalk https://lnkd.in/eAiNayxD

Researchers from the University of Warwick have observed signs of the rainbow-like ‘glory lights’ effect on a distant planet outside our Solar System for the first time. Glory lights are colourful concentric rings of light that occur only under peculiar conditions. They occur when light is reflected off clouds made up of a perfectly uniform, but so far unknown, substance. #GloryLights #DistantPlanet #Exoplanet #Astronomy Click the link below to discover more ⬇ https://bit.ly/3xjjxVo

Why are #exoplanets with around 2 #Earth radii relatively rare? Simulations by scientists from MPIA, Universität Bern, and Université de Genève found migrating icy planets to play a key role in explaining this phenomenon. When they enter the inner realms of their planetary systems, the heat from the central #star thaws and evaporates the #ice creating an extended #water vapour #atmosphere. #waterworld #astronomy #subneptune https://lnkd.in/ejb9gaJP

𝘊𝘩𝘳𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘱𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘤 𝘧𝘪𝘣𝘳𝘪𝘭𝘴 #𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬: 𝐚 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲 🌞 🔭 When observed in the H-alpha spectral line, the chromosphere reveals a very complex structure made up of elongated fibrils having different lengths and orientations. Above active regions there are long, horizontal fibrils that connect sunspots or plage of opposity polarity. We can also see dynamic fibrils, which are shorter, more vertical and much more dynamical. 🔁 📹 This movie shows a spectral scan of the quiet Sun across the H-alpha line. Positions in the far line wings sample the photosphere. Toward the line core, the images sample progressively higher layers of the atmosphere, up to the upper chromosphere. ☀️ ️ 🎥 Movie credit: Michiel van Noort and Luc Rouppe van der Voort (ITA, University of Oslo) 🔭 Source: SST Galleries More information on this observation here https://lnkd.in/dFtm75_F #ESFRI #ERIC #ResearchInfraestructures #solarphysics #Sun #Astronomy

Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) Comet 13P/Olbers (APOD: 2024 Jun 28) Image Credit & Copyright: Dan Bartlett https://lnkd.in/dYsyVZdj Explanation: Not a paradox, Comet 13P/Olbers is returning to the inner Solar System after 68 years. The periodic, Halley-type comet will reach its next perihelion or closest approach to the Sun on June 30 and has become a target for binocular viewing low in planet Earth's northern hemisphere night skies. But this sharp telescopic image of 13P is composed of stacked exposures made on the night of June 25. It easily reveals shifting details in the bright comet's torn and tattered ion tail buffeted by the wind from an active Sun, along with a broad, fanned-out dust tail and slightly greenish coma. The frame spans over two degrees across a background of faint stars toward the constellation Lynx. https://lnkd.in/dHic5aqE #APOD

If you need a content creator, here's an example of content we produce: an #astronomy article about the identification of the #exoplanet WASP-193 b, a gas giant whose diameter is approximately 1.5 times Jupiter's but with a mass that is only one-seventh of Jupiter's. https://lnkd.in/dBerWJeS
WASP-193 b is a cotton candy exoplanet strange even for this category

Astronomers Hit the Cosmic Lottery with Discovery of Perfect 6-Planet Solar System Stop the presses, astronomers just struck gold! An epic new solar system has been spotted just 100 light-years away, and it's packing a perfect six-planet lineup. I'm talking a pristine system in celestial harmony. These researchers hit the astronomical lottery with this baby. Six planets, all lined up in a row and orbiting as stable as can be. No crashes, no chaos, just billions of years of peaceful revolutions around the host star. You love to see it! Finding an intact system like this is like glimpsing into our early solar system's formation. It's a chance to study how these planetary configurations took shape and stood the test of time. And at just 100 light-years from Earth? This discovery is practically in our galactic backyard! Astronomers are cracking open new insights into the enduring nature of planets across the galaxy. It's a big win in the hunt for worlds that could potentially support life. Who knows, maybe one of these six planets harbors some alien neighbors! So take a bow, astronomy team. A perfectly preserved 6-planet solar system? Now that's how you hit the cosmic lottery! This is one for the record books. What a time to be gazing at the stars! #Astronomy #Astronomer #Stars #Planet #SolarSystem #NewPlanet #Space

What is Oumuamua? 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐜𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐜𝐥𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦: 👇 https://lnkd.in/gEmA26vv https://lnkd.in/gfyHBKtv https://lnkd.in/gYGpKYQa https://lnkd.in/gZFWrbSc 𝐒𝐂𝐈𝐄𝐍𝐓𝐈𝐅𝐈𝐂 𝐅𝐀𝐂𝐓 🔯: Oumuamua (pronounced oh-MOO-ah-MOO-ah) is the first interstellar object ever detected passing through our solar system. It was discovered in 2017 and named after a Hawaiian term for "scout" or "messenger from afar. Oumuamua's discovery is significant because it provides clues about the composition and formation of other solar systems. While its true nature remains a mystery, it serves as a reminder of the vastness of the universe and the possibility of other objects visiting us from beyond. #oumuamua #interstellarobject #space #astronomy #science #firstinterstellarvisitor #cigarshaped #outgassing #notalien #solarsystem #science #scienceexperiment #sciencehumor #scienceandtechnology #ScienceForKids

𝘚𝘶𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘵 𝘜𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘦 #𝐒𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐌𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐚𝐲𝐬: 𝐚 𝐣𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐒𝐨𝐥𝐚𝐫 𝐆𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐞𝐫𝐲 🌞 Umbral dots are a signature that convection is happening even inside a sunspot, despite their strong magnetic fields inhibiting normal solar surface convection. These dots and light bridges in the umbra and penumbra reveal smaller convection signs, observed at high spatial resolution as bright spots in the dark umbra. 👉🏻 The figure displays, from top to bottom, continuum intensity images, velocity maps from spectral profiles, and net circular polarisation maps showing magnetic field and velocity gradients along the line of sight. Temporal changes are studied by recording images at successive times. 📸 Image credit: Ada Ortiz, Luc Rouppe van der Voort (ITA, University of Oslo) More information about this and other solar phenomena here ⬇️ 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dntvbDcv #ESFRI #ERIC #ResearchInfraestructures #solarphysics #Sun #Astronomy

I am a native speaker of English, Spanish and Greek and I majored in English Pedagogy in UDLA, Viña del Mar.
Definition: A sunspot is a dark, cooler area on the surface of the sun, caused by magnetic activity. These spots appear darker than their surroundings because they are relatively cooler, though still extremely hot. Sunspots are associated with solar phenomena like solar flares and can affect space weather, including the Earth's magnetic field. Example Sentences: Scientists observed an increase in sunspots, which could lead to more solar storms. The sunspot cycle lasts about 11 years, during which the number of sunspots rises and falls. Sunspots appear dark because they are cooler than the surrounding areas on the sun's surface. A large sunspot was detected this week, causing excitement among astronomers. The activity of sunspots can influence satellite communications and power grids on Earth. Solar flares often originate from regions near sunspots on the sun's surface. Sunspots can be seen through special telescopes designed to observe the sun safely. During a period of maximum sunspots, the sun's magnetic field is at its most active. The solar observatory is tracking the evolution of a massive sunspot group. Ancient Chinese astronomers were among the first to record observations of sunspots.

Today is an astronomical event you won't want to miss! Michigan will experience a total solar eclipse for the first time in 70 years since 1954. Here's what you need to know: Detroit Eclipse Schedule: Start of partial eclipse: 1:58 p.m. Maximum coverage (99%): 3:14 p.m. End of partial eclipse: 4:27 p.m. Even though most of Michigan isn't in the path of totality, we can still witness the moon passing in front of the sun with approved eclipse glasses or a safe viewer. If you're in Monroe County, the very southeast corner of the state, you might experience a slight dimming and a drop in temperature as the moon's shadow brushes over the sun. #SolarEclipse2024 #Astronomy #DetroitEclipse ☀ 🌑 https://shorturl.at/nAHJ8
