Love this as it brings back a flood of exciting memories and visuals for me. Definitely miss the short time I spent in the Moon’s sphere of influence! Huge props to our amazing science team for getting more data out to the masses!

A huge library of Artemis II data just dropped! Science is a relay race, and today marks the latest in a long series of handoffs. 814 GB of observations. 996 new images. 521 min of never-before-released crew audio. Dig in: go.nasa.gov/Artemis2LunarSci…

Bullseye! Our Sun finally aims straight, launching a big solar storm directly at Earth. Impact: Early October 9 UTC time. This is the best coronal blast wave I've seen in a long time. Kudos to @HaloCME for the analysis despite being on the mend. Please help me wish an esteemed colleague and SDO/AIA team member a speedy recovery!
HaloCME@halocmeOct 6
A gorgeous eruption (accompanying a coronal wave) associated with an M1.4 flare from AR 14549. The CME may be Earth-bound for 9-Oct arrival. Personal note: I have been hospitalized since 15-Sep. I think the most critical phase has passed, and look forward to come back soon.

Widespread Severe Thunderstorms continue to look likely tomorrow across a large portion of SW #Ontario and into parts of the #GTA At this point, the circled area is at greatest risk of seeing the strongest storms Torrential rain, large hail, damaging winds and tornadoes are all on the table Timing looks to be 4pm to 8pm Will continue monitor and have updates #OnWX #ONStorm

Wednesday is looking much more likely to bring severe storms across Southern #Ontario The latest HRRR model is showing a line of severe storms sweeping across SW/ Central Ont during the afternoon Shows maxed out tornado parameters across some areas east of Lake #Huron *End of its range so take with a grain of salt* Will continue to monitor and update #OnWX #ONStorm

@WxOntario1Sep 1
Marginal risk of severe storms tomorrow across parts of Southern #Ontario As of now, models aren't showing any storm development despite plenty of CAPE (storm fuel) Conditions will definitely be favorable for the development of severe storms but the big question is will they fire? At this point, there is a slight risk of isolated severe storms across parts of SW Ont and the #GTA Will have an update out in the morning #OnWX #ONStorm
