What’s Up for May, skywatchers?
Mars and Jupiter in the evening skies; Venus and Saturn in the mornings – and early in the morning of May 6, be on the lookout for the Eta Aquarid meteor shower!

Heads up – tonight we'll have not just a full Moon but a supermoon partial lunar eclipse! (That’s a lot! 😅)
At the closest point to Earth in its orbit, the Moon will appear larger than usual. And as it passes through part of Earth’s shadow, one of its edges will darken.

Data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and the European Space Agency’s Solar Orbiter suggest that plasma waves known as Alfvén waves inject energy into the solar wind as it leaves the sun’s outer atmosphere. sciencenews.org/article/wave…

Data from NASA’s Parker Solar Probe and ESA’s Solar Orbiter might have cracked an enduring solar riddle. But not everyone yet agrees. sciencenews.org/article/wave…

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on May 29, 2024, peaking at 10:37 a.m. ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.4.

You’ve heard of storm trackers, now meet solar storm trackers!
See how @NASA tracked the most intense solar storm in decades, responsible for possibly one of the strongest displays of auroras on record in the past 500 years.

Another one! ☀️ 💥
An M6.6-class solar flare erupted on Monday, May 13. (Not as strong as some of the others we’ve had in the past week, but it sure is pretty!)
This week, we’re answering popular questions about solar storms and their impacts on Earth. Stay tuned!

Work hard. Work quietly. There’s no need to publicise what you’re up to. Let your success be the noise. Remember, lightning makes no sound till it strikes.

There is a science to how learning happens. It is WAY more broad than what the movement calling itself the science of math claim.
There is no formula for how teaching should happen.
Why?
B/c learning is a dynamic process, influenced by numerous factors unique to each learner.

If a star strays too close to its host galaxy's black hole, it could get so ripped apart by tidal forces that its remains wrap all the way around the black hole, collide with themselves and explode in a burst of gamma rays. aasnova.org/2024/05/01/a-pos…

Thank you to the @housescience leadership for hosting and to @NSF for bringing us together. We had so much fun talking about the importance of quantum #STEMeducation. Thanks to everyone who contributed and a shout out to @RandallstownHS teacher @maajidalc for joining us!
Todays @NSF Quantum Research Showcase highlighted NSF investments in quantum research, tech and education.
Thank you @RepFrankLucas, @RepZoeLofgren and @RepHaleyStevens for hosting and your leadership on this vital scientific endeavor for our country.

Awesome talks! I was on the edge of my seat. Everytime I attend, I can't wait to come back to my classes to share what I learned. We have 80 Black Holes in our galaxy! @KITP_UCSB @BCPSSci

Learn to say no without explaining yourself. Set boundaries. Busy days and nights are ahead with Ramadan almost with us. And don’t do things just to please people. It doesn’t pay at all. Focus on your Creator.
