🧑🚀 **Astronaut Spotlight**
🌟 **Name**: Claude Nicollier
🏷️ **Status**: Retired
📖 **Bio**: Claude Nicollier is the first astronaut from Switzerland. He has flown on four Space Shuttle missions. His first spaceflight (STS-46) was in 1992, and his final spaceflight (STS-103) was in 1999. He took part in two servicing missions to the Hubble Space Telescope (called STS-61 and STS-103). During his final spaceflight he participated in a spacewalk, becoming the first European Space Agency astronaut to do so during a Space Shuttle mission. In 2000 he was assigned to the Astronaut Office Extravehicular Activity Branch, while maintaining a position as Lead ESA Astronaut in Houston. Nicollier retired from ESA in April 2007.

🚨 **Space Weather Alert: CME**
📅 **Date**: 2025-07-24
🕒 **Time**: 06:24Z UTC
📖 **Description**: Faint CME seen to the SW in SOHO LASCO C2/C3 and GOES CCOR-1. This CME was not captured in real time by STEREO A COR2 due to an data gap which began 2025-07-23T17:53Z. Source is an eruption seen on the SW limb from AR 14145 (S24W89) starting around 2025-07-24T05:36Z. A rising loop and opening field lines from AR 14145 can be seen in SDO AIA 171, followed by a possible partial liftoff of a nearby filament starting at 2025-07-24T05:43Z which extends along S45 from approx. W00 to W75. Opening field lines from AR 14145 surrounded by a wider set of opening field liens is also seen in GOES SUVI 284.

🚨 **Space Weather Alert: CME**
📅 **Date**: 2025-07-23
🕒 **Time**: 04:53Z UTC
📖 **Description**: CME seen to the East in STEREO A COR2 and as a faint partial halo to the East in SOHO LASCO C2/C3 and GOES CCOR-1. Source is a small filament seen lifting off at 2025-07-23T02:06Z. Post-eruptive brightening can be seen in SDO AIA 304 spanning from S00 to S10 and from W15 to W25, but the filamentary material itself can be seen lifting off as far north as N20E05.
