Good to see people enjoying the Bank Holiday sunshine around the Town Mill in Lyme Regis during the weekend it celebrates 25 years of being saved from dereliction and being re-opened to the public. #MILLFEST #LymeRegis #Dorset

The Sun emitted two strong solar flares, the first peaking at 9:07pm ET on April 23 and the second peaking at 4:13am ET on April 24. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured images of the events, which were classified as X2.4 and X2.5: go.nasa.gov/4sPr45D
Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS & communications signals travel.
To see how such space weather may affect Earth, check out @NWSSWPC, the U.S. government’s official source for space weather forecasts, watches, warnings, and alerts.
ALT On the left, an image of the Sun labeled X2.4. The Sun is against a black background. It appears as a dark gold color, with bright purple areas representing active regions. Toward the top right, there is a bright blue X with solar material. On the right side of the image, there is another Sun labeled X2.5. This one is teal with swirls of black. On the top right, there is a bright blue and white X from the flare.

This is apparently what Hell looks like! These black limestone formations (phytokarst) on #GrandCayman were created over 24 million years ago. It's said that when a British Commissioner saw them, he said "My God, this must be what Hell Looks Like"... & the name stuck. #Caribbean

The Positive Electron: Carl Anderson's discovery of the positron was published #OTD 93 years ago.
Image: Cloud chamber photograph by Anderson, the first positron ever observed. The deflection and direction of the particle's ion trail indicate it is a positron.
