If You’ve Never Seen An Aurora Before, This Might Be Your Chance!
- Tonight and the rest of the weekend could be your best chance ever to see the aurora.
- Solar experts predict that people in the US as far south as Alabama and Northern California could be treated to seeing the northern lights during this weekend.
- According to SWPC, the impact from the geomagnetic storm reached Earth-based magnetometers on May 10th at 1645 UT, and more CMEs are expected to extend the aurora possibilities into the weekend.
- While solar storms could provide stunning views of auroras, there is also the potential for disruption to communications systems, power grids, and satellite operations.

Lighting Up the Moon’s Permanently Shadowed Craters
- Researchers from the Texas A&M Department of Aerospace Engineering are developing a solar collector to harvest water resources from the Moon's permanently shadowed craters.
- The solar collector, mounted on the crater rim, would harness solar energy and deliver it to a receiver placed inside the crater.
- The researchers are exploring the use of parabolic reflectors, which have been effective in transmitting optimal light to crater bottoms in computer models.
- They are also working with self-morphing materials that can adjust shape based on temperature changes in the lunar environment.

Physics from “The Martian”: Simulating the solar system with three.js
- The Martian, a highly-acclaimed sci-fi movie that stars Matt Damon and Donald Glover, inspired an aspiring physicist from Trinity College named Will Haskell.
- While his partner Louis created an orbital mechanics demonstration was to save characters from the movie, Haskell used his skills in computer programming to design an interactive 3D visualization of space.
- To simulate our local solar system, Haskell used three.js, a browser library for rendering 3D shapes, and NASA’s JPL Horizons system, a tool for obtaining precise ephemerides and physical properties of solar system objects.
- Haskell started by examining other players’ simulations to gather inspiration, taking elements from the most efficient and visually appealing ones.
- Getting the necessary conditions right for each of the celestial bodies to avoid them from crashing into each other was one of the key challenges Haskell tackled, solved by utilizing NASA’s JPL Horizons API.
- Haskell was determined to make the simulation interactive, adding features like lighting for each celestial body, side panels with settings, and navigation controls such as sliders and a 3-setup trackball interface.
- Another challenge he faced, which was tackled through the introduction of a spacecraft, was the complexity of the simulation interface. Mapping keys to commands allowed keyboard control over thrust values for pitch, roll, yaw, and thrust/reverse thrust.
- In retrospect, Haskell realized that it was curiosity that propelled this project. The simulation started as a senior exercise for school arduous requirements but turned out to be an opportunity to explore his passion for physics, programming, and more.
- His advice to others who want to pursue their hobbies or interest? Tinker with what enables you to follow your daydream and pay attention to what calls out your deepest yearning for exploration and discovery.
- Today, Haskell works as a software engineer and tries to incorporate his other interests such as music, literature and politics in his life, hoping never to lose sight of what makes him excited.

Sols 4182-4183: We Reached the South Side of Pinnacle Ridge… What’s Next?
- NASA's Mars rover Curiosity has successfully reached the south side of Pinnacle Ridge, completing its investigation of the upper Gediz Vallis ridge.
- The team had to decide whether to drive onto Pinnacle Ridge for additional data on the rocks or continue towards the planned channel crossing spot.
- After discussing the pros and cons, the scientists decided to move on and collect Mastcam observations as they make their way up the channel.
- Before driving away, they will also perform contact science on the rocks at their feet and conduct environmental monitoring observations.
