The Skatebook

What’s that noise? Who’s that skater down the alley trying to land the same trick for the nth time? If you want to know better, have a look at The Skatebook’s animated pages, which reveal the thoughts, memories, hopes and fears of the expanding skateboarding scene in London.

In einem Zug, über den ein Tornado hinwegfegt

In einem deutlich leichteren Auto wäre der Mann wahrscheinlich nicht mit nur einem Schrecken davon gekommen.

„I am a 27-year conductor with the same railroad company. This is the first time anything like this has happened to me while on a train. This happened while sitting stationary waiting for signal to continue westward. This happened during the afternoon hours on May 26th 2024. The Nebraska tornado outbreak. The tornado blew over and derailed 31 cars. The engineer and I were unharmed.“

The Sun’s fluffy corona in exquisite detail

Wow!

This otherworldly, ever-changing landscape is what the Sun looks like up close. ESA’s Solar Orbiter filmed the transition from the Sun’s lower atmosphere to the much hotter outer corona. The hair-like structures are made of charged gas (plasma), following magnetic field lines emerging from the Sun’s interior.

The brightest regions are around one million degrees Celsius, while cooler material looks dark as it absorbs radiation.

This video was recorded on 27 September 2023 by the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager (EUI) instrument on Solar Orbiter. At the time, the spacecraft was at roughly a third of the Earth’s distance from the Sun, heading for a closest approach of 43 million km on 7 October.

On the same day that this video was recorded, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe skimmed just 7.26 million km from the solar surface. Rather than directly imaging the Sun, Parker measures particles and the magnetic field in the Sun’s corona and in the solar wind. This was a perfect opportunity for the two missions to team up, with ESA-led Solar Orbiter’s remote-sensing instruments observing the source region of the solar wind that would subsequently flow past Parker Solar Probe.

Spot the moss, spicules, eruption and rain
Lower left corner: An intriguing feature visible throughout this movie is the bright gas that makes delicate, lace-like patterns across the Sun. This is called coronal ‘moss’. It usually appears around the base of large coronal loops that are too hot or too tenuous to be seen with the chosen instrument settings.

Album-Stream: AzudemSK – Poetry in Motion

Als wir am Samstagmorgen nach meinem Gig im Klunkerkranich mit dem Auto nach Hause gefahren sind, meinte ich zu meiner Großen, „Mach mal das neue AzudemSK an. Avus im Dunkeln, ich auf der Rücksitzbank mit Blick auf die gerade aufwachende Hauptstadt, habs richtig gefühlt. Großartiges Ding mal wieder! Überall im Stream dort, wo es Streams gibt, Vinyl bei ihm im Shop.
