To RHESSI fans:
RHESSI made 16 years of X-ray and gamma-ray observations before the mission ended in 2018 due to loss of communications. Although the spacecraft has continued to orbit the Earth since then, it is expected to finally re-enter the atmosphere very soon and burn up, possibly as soon as tomorrow! Here is NASA's press release:
https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-retired-solar-energy-imager-spacecraft-to…
Pascal Saint-Hilaire and Hugh Hudson wrote a RHESSI nugget on the re-entry, including plots of the ground path underneath RHESSI for the next couple of days. With luck, you may be able to catch a glimpse of RHESSI as it burns up, while some parts of the observatory - notably the tungsten grids - may even survive re-entry.

I encourage you all to commemorate and celebrate RHESSI's long mission, which can include analyzing some portion of RHESSI's gigantic data set. I also recommend that you register for the upcoming SPHERE workshop (June 20-23), which builds off of the legacy of RHESSI:

MEETING: The 4th ASO-S Meeting (Online) -- Tutorials on ASO-S Data
The Advanced Space-based Solar Observatory (ASO-S) was launched on October 9, 2022. After six-month of commissioning phase, the ASO-S will release the data to the public. In order to facilitate use and analysis of ASO-S data by the broader community, the 4th ASO-S Meeting will be held online. The meeting consists of two sessions, i.e., China-America Session (April 10-11, 2023, America, EST; April 11-12, 2023, China, CST) and China-Europe Session (April 11-12, 2023, UTC/CST). There will be lectures and hands-on sessions. The lectures include introduction on ASO-S related topics and tutorials on data access and analysis. More information on attending the meeting will be obtained after the registration. Registration date: from March 15 to April 5, 2023.
For more detailed information, please visit the meeting website: http://aso-s.pmo.ac.cn/english/science/meeting/meeting-202304.jsp

We welcome contributions to the RHESSI Nuggets, and the topics may wander some distance away from specifically RHESSI results if they are generally interesting. See http://sprg.ssl.berkeley.edu/~tohban/wiki/index.php/RHESSI_Science_Nuggets for these and others. Comments about specific flares can often be found by searching for their SOLyyyy-mm-dd identifier from this home page.
