Solar Fireworks
This movie shows fireworks on the Sun as seen in UV by the Solar Dynamics Observatory while 10 significant flares erupted on the sun from 19 through 28 October. The graph shows X-ray output from the sun as measured by NOAA’s GOES spacecraft. The X-rays peak in sync with each flare.

Back in the Saddle Again
This evening I agreed to go back to work full-time for a while. I was enjoying my semi-retirement, but my former colleagues working on the GOES-R program have persuaded me to rejoin them. I’ll begin on Monday at Goddard Space Flight Center.
GOES-R is the first of the next generation of weather satellites.
