Shylo took advantage of a Caturday Saturday sunbeam, but on a day which may bring record warmth, she needed shade too. She did keep one paw in the sun, however... 🌞🐈

When one is caring for an #elderly person, one might want to put them out for #air and #sun to freshen them up again. Smear them down with oil, give them a book and they're like new again. They're like rugs and need to be put outside to be freshened. Just don't beat them. Nobody likes that sort of thing.
Brace yourself, Summer is coming.

The #Sun these days has more than 300 #sunspots. The highest count in 20 years! In the pic is the largest of them, sunspot AR3780, near the center of the solar disc. This one is colossal in size, spanning about five or six Earth diameters. [1/3]🧵

And here's my occasional Fedi outreach about my dream retrocomputer - does anyone have a Sun Ultra 45 they are willing to part with? I'm just a sad, pathetic person living in Arctic Sweden who has been trying for more than two decades (!!) to get his hands on one.
Boosts are definitely love.
These mean looking sunspots are the cause of the strongest geomagnetic storm (G5 - Severe) in 20 years!
They are really huge, spanning about 16 Earth diameters. Auroras are happening now and probably will continue over the weekend.

May 3rd- Happy International SUN Day!
The idea behind this day was to “draw attention to sustainable energy sources and their use for the solutions of ecological problems”.

Well out for a late evening walking and ran into a random neighbor who gave me lilies to plant.
How nice! Going to get them planted now after enjoying some golden hour. Wrote some alt text for those who can’t see
Cheers enjoy your evening.
13 out or 56 with some wind.

I am a family guy from Denmark who loves astronomy and dad jokes. I am an eco-friendly IT architect and a nonbeliever who respects all faiths. I am a humanitarian, inclusive, and friendly. I enjoy meeting and learning from new people.

#introduction I'm Ingo from Hamburg, Germany. I'm very concerned about the rise of the far right and Russian terrorist state. So instead of doomscrolling, I want to concentrate on my hobbies that keep me sane during these times: Repairing and enjoying old computers, tinkering with synthesizers.
I mostly collect old Unix workstations and have recently gotten back into old homecomputers.
I'm also interested in programming languages and #infosec
Today, I am learning how to image the #sun!
Still a long way to go, but I'm super-pleased that everything is working and I can make decent images already. Aiming to be ready for the total eclipse in April!

Random shot from a walk in the park.
The days are short and the nights are long. Even in California, December makes the earth's axial tilt felt, and I long for the brief hours of sun. So, I wrote about sun worship this week.
Worship the sun: It's traditional, it's natural, and it's reasonable

Don’t look back in anger
Sometimes life is hard and we have to overcome nerve-racking situations. But never look back in anger, you will find some light even behind you.
