#Solar #prominences are huge, cool and dense structures suspended in the #corona. Some are also extremely long-lived: They are stable for weeks relying on constant replenishing of fresh material. A study published today in #NatureAstronomy explores their “supply logistics”: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41550-026-02840-7

It’s cherry blossom time! 💮💮💮Hans-Adolf-Krebs-Weg behind #mpsgoettingen has turned into a lovely cherry walk – offering glimpses of the institute’s far side amidst a sea of white blossoms. Maybe an idea for an evening stroll? #Kirschpost #CherryBlossom @unigoettingen@academiccloud.social @thegoecampus@academiccloud.social
Different #meteorites, same birthplace: The parent bodies of
different groups of #CarbonaceousChondrites may have formed in the same region of the #SolarSystem.

A look into the “GREGOR Observations Center” GOC at MPS Göttingen during this month’s remote campaign at the GREGOR Solar Telescope, located on Tenerife. Many great active regions and sunspots, but unfortunately clouds obstructed our view. Hoping for better conditions for our August campaign together with Solar Orbiter 🛰️ 🔭🤞
