🌌Witness the Celestial Spectacle: Northern Lights Illuminate Skies Across the Globe!🌠
Prepare to be mesmerized as the heavens put on a show like no other! A powerful solar storm has set the stage for a breathtaking display of northern lights, gracing the skies over the United States and Europe with its ethereal glow. But as we marvel at this celestial phenomenon, let's also stay mindful of its potential impact on our technological infrastructure.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a rare severe geomagnetic storm warning, alerting us to the solar storm's potent effects. While this presents a rare opportunity to witness the aurora borealis in all its splendor, it also raises concerns about disruptions to power grids and communication networks.
Reports of sightings have already poured in from across the pond, with residents of the UK and parts of Europe treated to an enchanting display of colors dancing across the night sky. From hues of pink and blue to iridescent purple, the northern lights have left spectators spellbound, sharing their awe-inspiring encounters on social media.
But the show isn't over yet! According to NOAA, the solar storm's reach could extend across the Atlantic, offering viewers in the United States a chance to witness this celestial spectacle firsthand. So, whether you're in the UK, Europe, or the US, keep your eyes peeled for the aurora's luminous dance.
As we gaze skyward in wonder, let's remember the science behind this magical display. The northern lights are a result of charged particles from the sun interacting with the Earth's atmosphere, creating a dazzling array of colors and patterns.
So, if you find yourself beneath the celestial canvas of the northern lights, take a moment to appreciate the beauty of nature's cosmic ballet. And remember, while the aurora may captivate us with its splendor, let's also remain vigilant of its potential impact on our interconnected world.

Navigating the Uncharted: From the Depths of the Ocean to the Vastness of Space...Mind Bicycle
In the profound silence beneath the sea, lies not the mythical kraken nor the formidable great white, but the very lifeblood of our digital era. Miles upon miles of fiber optic cables weave an intricate web that pulsates with the global heartbeat of data, connecting continents, countries, and communities with an invisible thread of knowledge and innovation.
This marvel of human engineering, hidden beneath the waves, serves as a testament to our relentless pursuit of connectivity and understanding. It reminds us that the most profound discoveries often lie where we least expect them - not in the light, but in the depths.
Yet, as we stand at the precipice of a new era, it is imperative that we lift our gaze from the depths to the heavens. The vast expanse of space, once the realm of dreamers and storytellers, now beckons us with possibilities that stretch the very fabric of our imagination. Like the Starman in David Bowie's iconic song, the universe waits with bated breath for us to take that leap, to transcend the boundaries of our earthly confines and embrace the boundless potential of the cosmos.
Steve Jobs once said, "Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower." In this spirit, let us not be content with the achievements of today but dare to explore the unknowns of tomorrow. Let the fiber optic cables beneath the seas remind us of our ability to connect and transform the world. But let us also look to the stars, to the infinite possibilities that space offers for the future of connectivity, knowledge, and humanity itself.
As we venture into the unknown, let us carry with us the spirit of innovation, the courage to dream, and the wisdom to remember that in our quest for progress, the journey is just as important as the destination. The Starman 'waiting in the sky' symbolizes not just the potential of space exploration but also the intrinsic human desire to explore, to learn, and to connect in ways that transcend our physical limitations.
Together, we can navigate the uncharted, from the depths of the ocean to the vastness of space, in our continuous quest to connect, understand, and innovate.

Want a theme song for the #OceanDecade week in Barcelona?
I look forward to joining numerous discussions on the whole value chain of marine knowledge, from #OceanObserving and #OceanData management to #OceanPrediction and user-focused services. But in my Ocean Decade week's agenda, #OceanLiteracy is standing out with an impressive amount of side-events, in one of which I'm happy to promote the EuroGOOS Decade project #Scientists4OceanLiteracy. I will join the panel on Ocean Literacy and Science, sharing the stage with María del Carmen García Martínez, Instituto Español de Oceanografía, Sílvia Gómez Mestres, Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona, Donata Canu, OGS, and Josep Lluís Pelegri, Institut de Ciències del Mar - CSIC. We will debate the concept of #ocean intelligence and the diversity of ways of acquiring and sharing knowledge.
#Sciencepopularization has become a focus of attention in the world of marine research, with initiatives promoted and funded by the European Commission and the UN. Furthermore, for years, we have been monitoring a wide range of national and local initiatives. However, it ain't all good for #oceanliteracy and #sciencecommunication. In a policy brief, #EuroGOOS stressed that societal engagement activities are still underfunded and under-recognized in the #oceanscience context. We put forward six recommendations to oceanographic and meteorological agencies to help them boost these activities as part of their core business: https://lnkd.in/e-ddvsnG. The barriers we still have are: lack of strategic support, gender imbalance, inaccessibility, short-termism of funding, shortage of impact projections & monitoring.
Yet, ocean literacy offers unprecedented opportunities for scientific institutions. It promotes co-design and co-production, #oceandata literacy and #opendata sharing, innovative visualization tools, multi and cross-sector partnerships among stakeholders from science, education, government, business, culture, recreation, and broader scientific horizons. Ocean literacy holds an amazing capacity for engaging new talents and promoting #bluecareers, and much more.
Cannot wait to exchange with colleagues at our event "Diving from local to global Ocean Literacy: Exploring, sharing, and developing successful practices to know, feel, and join the living Ocean" (9 April, 11:30-13:30 at the Institut de Ciències del Mar - CSIC, Passeig Marítim de la Barceloneta, 37-49): https://lnkd.in/eti5nXeQ. We will focus on all aspects of ocean literacy well beyond the educational sector - join us in Barcelona or join later to co-develop a white paper! The session will also be transmitted on YouTube: https://lnkd.in/exDx8idt.

Embark on an exhilarating journey through 19 interactive stations as you navigate your way through a virtual building, pilot a simulated underwater exploration vehicle, and play a colossal game of Battleship inside "Explore Your World."
«You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that!'» Edgar Mitchell (Apollo 14 astronaut)
The Overview Effect, first described by author Frank White in 1987, is an experience that transforms astronauts' perspective of the planet and mankind's place upon it. Common features of the experience are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment.
'Overview' is a short film that explores this phenomenon through interviews with five astronauts who have experienced the Overview Effect. The film also features insights from commentators and thinkers on the wider implications and importance of this understanding for society, and our relationship to the environment.
