Just read a new paper with a model to predict solar wind coupling with Earth's magnetosphere. It's the 63th such coupling model I've tracked since the first one. A pace of 1.4 new models/year for the past 45 years. Most likely the most modeled system in space science.

Chandrayaan-3 Mission: 'India🇮🇳, I reached my destination and you too!' : Chandrayaan-3 Chandrayaan-3 has successfully soft-landed on the moon 🌖!. Congratulations, India🇮🇳! #Chandrayaan_3 #Ch3

Finishing up the first research trip of sabbatical with the impressive Vlasiator team at University of Helsinki. Lots of great discussion, numerical modeling, and Finnish food

After nearly 20 years since OMNI was introduced, the space community has another solar wind propagation model.  This time with uncertainties frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Final day of the MagX meeting. Amazing progress in soft X-ray research over the past few years. From multi-spacecraft analysis, to additive manufacturing of lenses, to plans for school bus-sized telescopes. Thanks to MountainRunWinery conference center for hosting!

Spread the word: BU Engineering is searching for junior faculty in Energy, Sustainability, and Climate! academicjobsonline.org/ajo/jobs/25447

After 9 years of undergrad and grad physics classes and then 7 years teaching mechanics and orbital dynamics to college students, I finally met the sacred texts in person. Newton’s Principia and Copernicus’ De Revolutionibus Orbium Coelestium. Boston Public Library

In a time when it’s so easy to make up numbers for a good story, it’s great to have a refresh on fundamentals for analysis and uncertainty. Thank you Mike Liemohn for putting this together

Thanks SF for a rich #AGU2023. Only place to find 20,000 explorers of Earth and it’s space environment

Another productive visit at the University of Helsinki and Vlasiator this week. The universe brought a steady theme of patches, both in the harbor and at a reconnecting magnetopause.

A new home for our X-ray telescope. LEXI left Boston this week and was delivered to Firefly Aerospace in Texas for integrated with their lander. One step closer to flight

Most successful science book ever published? State of the art for hundreds of years, Ptolemy - Almagest. Another treasure from Boston Public Library Special Collections

Eek! Launch is starting to feel very soon for #SMILEesacas / ESA_Smile

Another Blue Ghost Mission 1 payload successfully integrated on our lander! Developed by Boston University, NASA Goddard & Johns Hopkins University, Lunar Environment heliospheric X-ray Imager (LEXI) will capture X-ray images to study how space weather and other cosmic forces affect our planet.

Once we know who we are, and where people are struggling or thriving in space sciences, we can take appropriate steps to improve. Happy to have this study in the public frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

🤔 What happens where the solar wind meets Earth’s magnetic shield? 🩻 This is one of the questions ESA_Smile aims to answer by observing soft X-rays and extreme ultraviolet wavelengths. The mission will study Earth’s magnetic environment on a global scale, building a more

First day back in the classroom after sabbatical. New year excitement and jitters

Will miss you Cluster. I still use the mouse pad from your 10th year anniversary celebration we had back in 2010.

Calling all aerospace engineers and space roboticists!  We're hiring a tenure-track position at Boston University. Come and work on the banks of the river Charles bu.edu/eng/academics/…
