FORCES WE DO NOT KNOW. “Magnetars are the most highly magnetized neutron stars in the cosmos (with magnetic field 10(13)–10(15) G). Giant flares from magnetars are rare, short-duration (about 0.1 s) bursts of hard X-rays and soft γ rays. Owing to the limited sensitivity and energy coverage of previous telescopes, no magnetar giant flare has been detected at gigaelectronvolt (GeV) energies.” https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-020-01287-8 View in LinkedIn

SOLAR PROTON PRODUCTS. “If sufficient downward transport is available, these nitrogen compounds can reach the stratospheric altitudes and through catalytic reaction chains to strong decrease of the stratospheric ozone.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

DRIVERS OF NEW CHEMISTRY. “Recent simultaneous observations of a strong increase of solar protons and the global NOx concentration in the atmosphere have clearly established the causal relationship between the solar proton events and the enhancement of odd nitrogen compounds.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

TIME TO HIT RESET. “A line is just a circle that passes through a point at infinity.” Grant Sanderson on the 3Blue1Brown channel. This video on quaternions should be the gold standard model for all maths teaching, a true work of visualization genius that takes a complex subject and makes it totally engaging. Throw out your children’s maths texts. This is how maths can be taught! https://youtu.be/d4EgbgTm0Bg View in LinkedIn

PARTICLE SHIELD. “The global cloud coverage anomalies are correlated with the mean values of the galactic cosmic ray flux, which is modulated by the solar cycle as the stronger solar wind pressure during solar maximum tends to decrease the amount of anomalous cosmic rays that can reach the inner solar system.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

SOLAR CYCLE. “There is experimental evidence that the global temperature variations are correlated with a number of space physic parameters: the long term temperature anomaly follows the filtered solar cycle length, which is a measure of the intensity of the solar cycle.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn

ENERGY OUTFLOW. “Changes in the amount of energy radiated away from Earth can be associated with the varying amounts of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide, methane, CFCs, or ozone. The surface properties are also important for the reflected radiation, as the albedos for ice cover, vegetation, and soil are quite different.” https://link.springer.com/article/10.12942/lrsp-2007-1 View in LinkedIn
