In yesterday’s #SolarFlare, we see mesmerising ‘Supra-Arcade Downflows’ (coloured cyan in this movie), high up above the main flare. This is followed by beautiful ‘coronal rain’ in the loop arcade.

Now, you wait a week to see a GP who will then request a blood test, and then you wait another week for an appointment to have the blood test. What happened?! Are GPs not allowed to do blood tests anymore?!

the full moon but with colors! generally, the lighter parts of the moon are orangey, and the darker parts of the moon are bluish
the moon! in black and white and in enhanced color
(i.e. the "correct" colors but increased in intensity so that we can actually see them)
It’s fascinating to me that as an EE customer I pay ~£50 for iPhone 16 package, yet it’s near impossible to get signal or 4G/5G anywhere. Your phone is basically an iPod until you find some WiFi.
