I was not in Norway so this isn't my photo but I wish it was. 😁
Begin doing what you want to do now. We are not living in eternity. We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand and melting like a snowflake...

Thought I would summarise why there is so much excitement in the space weather community right now. There’s a monstrous sunspot group on the Sun that’s massive enough to be visible to the naked eye (please use eclipse glasses) 🌞 👓 (1/n)
"How many years of beauty do I have left?
she asks me.
How many more do you want?
Here. Here is 34. Here is 50.
When you are 80 years old
and your beauty rises in ways
your cells cannot even imagine now
and your wild bones grow luminous and
ripe, having carried the weight
of a passionate life.
When your hair is aflame
with winter
and you have decades of
learning and leaving and loving
sewn into
the corners of your eyes
and your children come home
to find their own history
in your face...
Beatrice ‘Tilly’ Shilling, born in 1909 in Hampshire, was not only an aeronautical engineer but also a daring motorcycle racer. Her peers attribute her pivotal role in aiding the Allies during WWII.
Her fascination with speed ignited at just fourteen when she acquired her first motorcycle. This passion drove her to pursue higher education, culminating in both a Bachelor's and Master’s degree in mechanical engineering.

Amelia Earhart rocking some boots in Chicago, 1928. Born in Kansas in 1897, Amelia graduated from high school in Chicago at Hyde Park High School in 1916. In 1934 she started her own clothing line to help finance her aviation career. The line was sold at Macy's in New York and Marshall Fields in Chicago. Just three years later, she would disappear forever in the Pacific Ocean, en route to Howland Island on her quest to circumnavigate the globe.
