The Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained unprecedented footage of the solar wind. This flow of charged particles appeared as massive spiral structures, resembling a giant cyclone. Extending outwards to a distance of up to three solar radii, these formations persisted for over three hours.

These remarkable images were captured by the Metis coronagraph aboard Solar Orbiter. Metis specializes in detecting various types of radiation emitted by the solar corona, while effectively blocking direct sunlight from the star’s surface.

Visualizing the wind's structure represents a significant step forward in understanding its nature. Previously, measurements were confined to localized points reached by the particle flow. Now, scientists have observed a comprehensive, dynamic picture, witnessing how particles accelerate, escape the Sun’s gravity, and form turbulent patterns.

Solar wind continuously interacts with Earth, affecting not only phenomena like the Northern and Southern Lights (auroras), but also influencing satellite operations, communication systems, and navigation technologies. Although its intensity varies with solar activity, the exact formation mechanisms remain unclear.

These new insights from Solar Orbiter promise to enhance our comprehension of these processes. The mission is scheduled to continue until 2026, with a potential extension through 2030.

The UK censorship regime forces Bitchute to end its services.

"After careful review and ongoing evaluation of the regulatory landscape in the United Kingdom, we regret to inform you that BitChute will be discontinuing its video sharing service for UK residents.

The significant change will be that this UK user-posted content will not be viewable by any other UK user, but will be visible to other users outside of the UK. Users outside the UK may comment on that content, which the creator will continue to be able to read, delete, block, reply and flag. Users outside the UK may share UK-user produced content to other users outside of the UK as normal. In other words, for users in the UK, including content creators, the BitChute platform is no longer a user-to-UK user video sharing service."

“Incredibly sinister and a sign of things to come. The big propaganda push to get the internet fully censored once and for all is 'Adolescence', meant as predictive programming for "horrific crime" caused by "young boys radicalised online". Problem-reaction-solution.”

MiriAF is right here, I’m sure. The heavy pushing of Adolescence and the departure of Bitchute are part of the same trend.

An American "Abrams" was hit in the Belgorod direction

The "Abrams" tried to cover the evacuation of the wounded from Demidovka. But first it ran into a mine, and then was finished off by drones.

They assassinated President McKinley in 1901 because of his tariff policy, and how it transformed the American economy.

A journalist in Germany has been sentenced to seven months in prison on probation as well as a fine of almost sixty percent of his annual income. His crime? Posting a meme. A meme about the erosion of free speech, no less.

"The manifesto, which was written by trans mass shooter Audrey Hale, confirms what we already figured: this was a radical, mentally unhinged leftist who openly hated white people, Christians, America, and her own body. The FBI and Nashville PD conveniently left this out of their report. Why would they do that? Because it didn’t fit their “trans are victims” narrative.

"In the pages, Hale described herself as a “violent extremist” obsessed with hatred, destruction, and death. Her writings included lines like:

“Kill all the white kids. Kill my own race.”
“Female pronouns make me feel like I wanna die.”
“I have to kill so I can be remembered in the most horrific way possible.”

"These aren’t just random ramblings. They reflect the growing radicalism within the trans movement—a movement that’s riddled with mental illness and embraces liberals who treat violence like virtue and mental instability as an identity."

The European mind cannot comprehend this

"A number of influential Thai businesses and public figures are pushing for the construction of a massive shipping canal across Thailand's south, which would be one of Asia's most ambitious infrastructure projects ever.

"Nikkei Asian Review recently reported on the proposed Kra Canal, an idea that has been around for decades, though no progress has ever been made on it. The hypothetical canal would cut a 135-kilometer swath across Thailand's Isthmus of Kra and connect the Pacific and Indian Oceans."
