Significant flooding now as severe hailstorm continues in Boulder. #cowx
@NWSBoulder Hail now accumulating to depth of 1-2 inches in downtown Boulder. Largest stones estimated sightly greater than 1 inch diameter but very large volume of smaller stones up to half inch. #COwx

#CATE2024 team traveled nearly 10,000 miles for one minute of totality to observe the Sun’s corona during a total solar eclipse. The Australian eclipse serves both as a scientific opportunity & training exercise in preparation for the 2024 U.S. eclipse.

We’re one hour from livestreaming #Ningaloo! Head to SwRI’s YouTube page to watch @astronamir and team as they observe the rare hybrid eclipse. Hybrid eclipses change from a total to an annular solar eclipse as the Moon’s shadow crosses Earth. Join us!

Just awful: With states like Kentucky passing cruel bans on transgender care, parents are calling advocacy groups in a panic about how to find care for their kids, officials at these groups tell us.
The future for red-state trans families is very dark:

This is the truth Democrats need to hammer at every opportunity: The Republicans will do anything BUT the thing that matters to save our kids.
“I can’t think of anything worse than children reading history and feeling bad. Imagine, children, going home alive to their parents and complaining that they were made to feel bad by reading about the horrible events of the past.” washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Every time a mass shooting happens in this country, it’s because politicians like him refuse to fix the problem.
There is blood on your hands, @RepTimBurchett.

The upside of assault weapons is just not worth the carnage.
Maybe that proposition is debatable if we didn't know whether a ban could work.
But we do know.
Mass shootings dropped significantly when the 1994 ban went into effect, and then spiked when the ban expired.

So many eruptions and their source active regions turning towards Earth in coming days🤞

Per fire management, the fire had no, to little growth overnight. Firefighters have increased their containment to 40%. We will receive an updated fire size after a multi-mission aircraft flyover. There are 60 firefighters working on the fire this morning. #SunshineWildlandFire

🧵 on trans athletes ⬇️
The main point of difference in the debate over the eligibility of trans athletes in elite sport is the following:
One side thinks they are regulating a CATEGORY OF HUMANS
The other side thinks they are regulating possible UNFAIR ADVANTAGE

Data from @NOAA's GOES satellites reveals the Sun's dynamic magnetic web for the first time. The work, co-authored by fmr CIRES/@NOAANCEI researcher @dbseaton, shows how the structure of solar wind is born.
