Every AI datacenter on earth combined could be powered... by a single 11km by 11km solar array in orbit. That’s ~20x less solar than what was installed on earth in 2025 alone. Space solar is efficientshow more

STARLINK IS RUNNING EARTH’S LARGEST SERVER… IN ORBIT While... everyone else is bragging about data centers on the ground, SpaceX quietly put 9,000 solar-powered computers in space and called it a constellation! Orbital Math: •⁠ ⁠Starlink sits at over 9,000+ active satellites after the latest batch •⁠ ⁠The entire rest of Earth manages roughly 3,000 to 4,000 combined •⁠ ⁠Each Starlink unit is a solar-powered network node with onboard compute •⁠ ⁠SpaceX now operates around 75 % of all active satellites in orbit At this rate Earth’s “space industry” is basically Starlink plus supporting characters!

Earth was hit by multiple CMEs triggering a G3-... geomagnetic storm last night, and we're now being buffeted by fast solar wind. More Earth-directed solar storms are racing towards Earth and are expected to impact in <12 hours now. I expect G3-G4 geomagnetic conditions, get ready!show more

Flashlights and lasers in space? 💥 During a solar... flyby, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made a surprising discovery about high-speed particles accelerated by explosive events on the Sun: Protons spread out like a flashlight beam 🔦 Heavy ions shoot out straight like a laser ⚡ This unexpected data is hinting at the power source behind solar storms that disrupt tech on Earth.

🚨 CHINA IS RACING TO BUILD A SPACE SOLAR... POWER PLANT THAT COULD BEAM ELECTRICITY FROM ORBIT TO EARTH. Scientists at Xidian University have successfully tested a ground-based system that can wirelessly transmit kilowatt-level power over 100 meters using microwaves. Their ultimate goal is far more ambitious: placing large solar power stations in geostationary orbit (36,000 km up), where sunlight is available 24/7 with no weather or atmosphere blocking it. The project, called Zhuri (“chasing the sun”), uses mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto solar panels, converts the electricity into microwaves, and beams it down to a receiving antenna (rectenna) on Earth. Why this matters: • In space, solar energy is up to 6 times more efficient than on Earth because there’s no night, clouds, or atmospheric filtering • A single large space solar station could theoretically generate gigawatts of continuous clean power enough for millions of homes • The team has already proven the system can beam power to multiple moving targets at once • China is now among the world leaders in this technology, alongside the US and Japan The deeper implication: Space-based solar power has been a dream for decades because it could provide truly baseload renewable energy. While the technical and financial challenges are enormous (building massive structures in orbit, precise microwave beaming, and safety), steady progress like this brings the concept closer to reality. If successful, it could fundamentally change how humanity generates and distributes energy moving power collection off the planet entirely. Near-term applications could include wirelessly charging satellites or powering future lunar bases. Do you think space-based solar power will become a major energy source in the coming decades, or will it stay too expensive and complex?

Get ready 144 a solar blast is reaching EARTH... in 2 days! Beautiful intelligent photonic light will ARRIVE on June 5th. This looks like it's going to be HUGE. MANY SOLAR SENSITIVES FELT IT ON MONDAY AND TUESDAY. We set the bridge up for this massive geomagnetic awakening to occur!show more

If NOAA SWPC's CME model is correct, we may... get hit by a pretty fast solar storm Thursday night. Currently, there is a G3/Strong Storm watch for Thursday and Friday, and depending on what we see at Earth, auroral displays may be seen further equatorward than usual. Stay tuned!show more

SpaceX is becoming one of the biggest solar-power operators... in space. Gen 1 Starlink: ~10 MW in orbit. Gen 2: ~100 MW. Gen 3: targeting ~1,000 MW. That's roughly a 10x jump every satellite generation. Most people think of Starlink as an internet network. Meanwhile, thousands of satellites are turning orbit into a rapidly growing solar-power grid. SpaceX Starlinkshow more

Yesterday, I was so impressed by Ben Cooper’s photograph... capturing the different stages of the solar eclipse in a single image that I immediately started adding the same idea to my eclipse project. Now it’s tested and ready. You can choose any point on Earth and any solar eclipse from the past 4,000 years or the next 1,000 and see how the Sun moved across the sky during the eclipse.show more
