#ESAEuclid is a space mission. While that means it's not susceptible to rain and clouds, it is affected by "SpaceWeather"!

The #sun ☀️ is ramping up its activity in the #SolarCycle, and when emitting substantial bursts, these will be noticed by 🛰️ #spacecraft - and Earth. For #Euclid this can mean many more hits by #cosmicrays.

For Earth this can mean #aurorae! This picture of an #aurora above #Edinburgh just now was taken by our EC member Gordon Gibb.
