Our Orbyts team worked super hard in our free time to write our first Impact report based on the last 6 years of programme evaluation, so we're mega excited to share it with you: orbyts.org/impact
Orbyts@Orbyts1

We're delighted to present Orbyts' first Impact Report! Over the past six years we have seen Orbyts' transformational impact on young people, researchers and teachers alike and we’re excited to share that with you. Find the 2017-2023 Orbyts Impact Report: orbyts.org/impact

We've made some predictions for the CME(s) observed at Solar Orbiter on 18th March! We should be seeing them arrive at Earth later this evening, all the way into tomorrow. And look at that Southwards magnetic field 👀 We're expecting a double-dip geomagnetic storm, so auroras! 🌞

This is our magnetic field prediction for the L1 solar wind (2nd panel), based on Solar Orbiter data, compared to the current observations: @SolarOrbiterMAG magnetic field in panel 1, @NWSSWPC L1 solar wind magnetic field in panel 3, L1 speed panel 4, L1 temperature panel 5.

🚨🚨MIST Nugget Alert:🚨🚨 @ASmith0005 presents a new method that automatically produces encoded representations of two dimensional data, capturing the key characteristics of the observations that can be directly compared to each other.

Orbyts aims to improve inclusivity in science by partnering early-career scientists with schools to give students the chance to lead research of their own. Over the coming months, we will be highlighting the amazing work done by our students in 2023🤩

I traveled halfway across the world to try and take the best photo of the Milky Way I could. After spending a full month on it, the resulting image is my most detailed and most complete photo of our home galaxy. What do you think, was it worth the effort?

⚠️DO NOT point a telescope at the sun. This was done using special equipment. The sun put on a great show today. These massive prominences are many times larger than Earth, illustrating how the sun's powerful magnetic field shapes the incredible solar atmosphere.

The 2023 update of the UK Government's National Risk Register has been published today. Interesting that impact of severe space weather has been increased from “Moderate” in the previous (2020) document to “Significant”in the latest version. #SpaceWeather gov.uk/government/pub…
