Black Hole
Black Hole@konstructivizm·
Magnetic storms are expected on Earth due to a coronal hole on the Sun Scientists predict that on September 13 and 14, 2025, the geomagnetic situation on Earth will change significantly. Magnetic storms of the G2-G3 level (the second and third of five possible) are expected. The cause will be a large coronal hole that has formed on the Sun and has come out to the center of its disk. Streams of high-speed solar wind emanating from this area are directed directly to the Earth and will reach its magnetosphere in the coming days.

One of Stephen Hawking’s scientifically most influential works was confirmed last week by a strong gravitational wave signal. The signal was detected in January this year by the LIGO/Virgo/Karga collaboration that combines 4 gravitational wave interferometers in the USA, Italy, and Japan. The analysis revealed that the event was a merger of two black holes of roughly 30 solar masses each, and also that of the final black hole. Hawking’s prediction (known as the “black hole area theorem”) was that since the surface area of black holes (which is proportional to the square of the mass) determines their entropy, the total surface area can only increase in a merger. The new observation confirms this beautifully. (Animation: Deborah Ferguson, Derek Davis, Rob Coyne (URI)/University of Rhode Island )

Before he passed away, my father made sure his final crop of beans got planted. A lifelong legacy of caring for the land and feeding people. They’re growing well, Dad.

What’s really at stake if NASA’s science budget gets slashed and entire science missions are canceled? We asked the scientists leading those missions, and their stories reveal what we all stand to lose. Here’s what they told us: planetary.org/articles/scien…

Aphasia really sucks. Words used to come so easily to me, and now I struggle to speak. But like millions of Americans living with aphasia, I haven’t lost my voice. This #AphasiaAwarenessMonth, I’m grateful for those who continue to support me in my recovery journey. To everyone living with aphasia: I'm here for you. We got this 💪

With the release of Russ Vought's NASA budget-slashing proposal and the ousting of Jared Isaacman, the last day has been the largest shift in U.S. space policy in a generation. Many people in government, industry, and the scientific community are gravely concerned about the future of space science and exploration. Congress is the last line of defense against these drastic changes. Only Congress has the ability to pass legislation that maintains U.S. leadership in space, promotes scientific discovery and technological advancement, and bolsters the civil and commercial space industrial base.

Today, Planetary Society volunteers visited 250 congressional offices to secure additional signatories on a bipartisan letter to save NASA's science programs. So far, 36 members of both parties have joined the letter led by Planetary Science Caucus chairs @DonBaconNE02 and @RepJudyChu. You can help too, urge your reps to cosign: planet.ly/protectscience…

On her birthday, we remember NASA computer scientist and mathematician Annie Easley. Easley began her 35-year career at NASA in 1955 (then the NACA) as a human computer. As that role was replaced by machines, she pivoted, contributing to NASA's work as a computer scientist. go.nasa.gov/4cFq9y2
