@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzDynamic electron radiation belt at Mercury controlled by solar wind driving: #Mercury has part-time radiation belts: https://news.engin.umich.edu/2026/07/mercury-has-part-time-radiation-belts/ - scientists thought Mercury’s magnetic field was disrupted by the sun too often to trap a radiation belt, but new analysis of MESSENGER data says that’s not always the case.

@BBC6MusicBot@mastodonapp.uk @cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzThe planets #Jupiter #Venus #Mercury (in the gap between trees in the lower right) again, on 7 June from the #Eschenberg in the #BavarianForest where a public observatory with a 1-meter (!) telescope is under construction: https://bayern.naturparke.de/2026/04/29/baustart-fuer-die-naturpark-sternwarte-bayerwald/ - the much smaller telescope here is pointed at Jupiter.
@cosmos4u@scicomm.xyzThree #planets in the evening sky over #Regensburg, Germany, today, when the Sun was 9° below the horizon and #Mercury - in the lower right, above the crane - 5° above the horizon. At that time it was also an easy naked-eye object, joining the pair of #Jupiter and #Venus on the left. After some rain during the day the atmosphere was superbly clear!
