Chér.e.s Group Elements, (Oui, *comme dans un groupe mathématique* 🧮🙂) Retrouvons-nous pour assister à cette conférence assez fascinante (et informative !) sur **« SMILE : Révéler l'invisible - explorer la magnétosphère terrestre en rayons X »** par Dimitra Koutroumpa (LATMOS-OVSQ) 🌌 🌌 🔄 ***Cet événement remplace une session précédemment annoncée pour le 7 intitulée "Sonder la nature de l'énergie noire avec le projet DESI", qui a été reporté au 5 mai (les inscriptions ouvrent le 8 avril)*** **Voici la description :** 🌞 La météorologie de l'espace étudie l'environnement spatial terrestre, notamment les interactions entre le Soleil et notre planète. Au cour de ce système, la magnétosphère - un bouclier magnétique naturel - nous protège des particules chargées émises par le Soleil - le vent solaire - généralement maintenues à distance par une frontière appelée magnétopause. 🛰️ Cependant, sous certaines conditions, les champs magnétiques du Soleil et de la Terre peuvent s'interconnecter, créant des brèches dans la magnétopause. Ces ouvertures permettent alors aux particules solaires énergétiques de pénétrer dans notre environnement spatial. L'intensité et la fréquence de ces phénomènes de reconnexion magnétique varient en fonction de l'activité solaire. Pendant les pics d'activité, les éruptions solaires et les éjections de masse coronale (CME) peuvent provoquer des perturbations majeures, comme des orages géomagnétiques, des aurores polaires, mais aussi des dysfonctionnements de satellites, des coupures radio, voire des pannes électriques. 🔭 Pour mieux comprendre et anticiper ces phénomènes, la mission SMILE (Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer), prévue pour un lancement en avril 2026, utilisera une technologie innovante d'imagerie en rayons X. Son objectif : observer globalement la magnétosphère et son évolution face aux variations du vent solaire, afin d'améliorer notre compréhension de la météo de l'espace et de ses impacts sur notre quotidien. 📝 **Voici le lien d'inscription et plus :** https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/ https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/form_reservation_conference.php https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/resumes2026.html ▶️ et la seance **sera en direct** et replay sur son son chaine YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/@InstitutdAstrophysiquedeParis **Même si le site indique que c’est complet, vous pouvez souvent encore trouver une place en arrivant un peu en avance.** 🍀 La conférence est prévue pour commencer à 19h30. 📍 **Accés :** https://www.iap.fr/accueil/acces/acces-fr.html 🍺 Ça dure normalement 60 - 90 mins. Ensuite, pour ceux qui souhaitent prolonger la soirée, on pourrait prendre un verre ou / et aller dans ce resto fast food assez bon près d'Alésia : Brasao Alesia- Restaurant poulet braisé Paris 14ème au 47 Av. du Général Leclerc, 75014 Paris https://maps.app.goo.gl/5QrggZkJYsdaTLUk6 À très bientot ! 🌌 %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%% **Dear Group Elements,** (Yes — *like elements of a mathematical group* 🧮🙂) Let's attend this fascinating (and informative!) talk on **“SMILE: Revealing the Invisible — Exploring Earth's Magnetosphere in X-rays”** by Dimitra Koutroumpa (LATMOS-OVSQ) 🌌🌌 🔄 ***This event replaces a previously announced session scheduled for the 7th April, titled ‘Exploring the nature of dark energy with the DESI project’, which has been postponed to 5 May (registration opens on 8 April)*** **Description:** 🌞 Space weather studies Earth's space environment, particularly the interactions between the Sun and our planet. At the heart of this system, the magnetosphere — a natural magnetic shield — protects us from charged particles emitted by the Sun (the solar wind), which are generally kept at bay by a boundary called the magnetopause. 🛰️ However, under certain conditions, the Sun's and Earth's magnetic fields can interconnect, creating gaps in the magnetopause. These openings allow energetic solar particles to penetrate our space environment. The intensity and frequency of these magnetic reconnection events vary with solar activity. During activity peaks, solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) can trigger major disruptions such as geomagnetic storms, polar auroras, but also satellite malfunctions, radio blackouts, and even power outages. 🔭 To better understand and anticipate these phenomena, the SMILE mission (Solar Wind Magnetosphere Ionosphere Link Explorer), planned for launch in April 2026, will use innovative X-ray imaging technology. Its goal: to globally observe the magnetosphere and its evolution in response to solar wind variations, in order to improve our understanding of space weather and its impacts on daily life. 📝 **Here’s the registration link** (please do it promptly) and more! https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/ https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/form_reservation_conference.php https://www.iap.fr/science/conferences/conferences_mensuelles/resumes2026.html **Even if the registration appears full when you follow the link, it’s usually still possible to get seats if you arrive early** 🍀 The talk is scheduled to start at 7:30 p.m. ▶️ And the session will also be available **live and replay** on IAP's YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@InstitutdAstrophysiquedeParis 📍 **Acces**: https://www.iap.fr/accueil/acces/acces-fr.html 🍺It usually lasts 60–90 minutes. Afterwards for those who'd like to continue the evening, we could grab a drink and/or go to this pretty good fast-food restaurant near Alésia: Brasao Alésia – Grilled Chicken Restaurant, Paris 14th, 47 Avenue du Général Leclerc, 75014 Paris https://maps.app.goo.gl/5QrggZkJYsdaTLUk6 See you very soon! 🌌

The meetup moves forward when at least 2 people confirm 2 hours before the event. If fewer than 2 confirmations are posted by then, attendance may be low that day. This avoids anyone showing up uncertain. 3️⃣ **Signal Your Arrival** When you arrive, comment on this event page: “Arrived” + where you’re sitting + what you’re wearing Example: “Arrived. Sitting outside near the entrance. Wearing a black t-shirt.” This ensures everyone can easily find each other.

I’m building Just Gutsy so no one has to feel alone on the road — and so anyone who’s still shy to take that first step has a welcoming place to start. 💛

Le vécu du deuil est large, que ce soit la mort d’un proche, d’un animal, suite à une disparition, à la perte d’un objet ou d’une situation fortement investie… Même si la prise en charge des personnes en deuil a évolué, ces personnes endeuillées sont souvent isolées. Nous parlerons du deuil et de la perte. L’intervenante vous posera des questions afin d’approfondir les problématiques du deuil, de la perte et de l’attachement. Nous ferons appel à l’écoute sensible et à l’observation participative. Cette écoute collective permettra de mettre en évidence dans quelles circonstances nous nions la mort et la séparation. Et dans quelles situations nous différons le deuil ou retardons sa résolution. Gratuit Il y aura une poster blanc sur la table pour nous reconnaître

**Mercredi 8 avril , le Comptoir se transforme en terrain de jeu.** On range les to-do, on pose les écrans… et on sort les jeux 🎯 ​De société, de stratégie ou de cartes, fous rires, alliances douteuses et esprit d’équipe.

The Humanist Monthly Program is our longest running event and still a community favorite. In the old days it used to be called "Going to HCCO" and we still like to think of it as our flagship event. We will be hearing from Becca Powell, Director of Advocacy and Outreach at Unchained At Last, an organization whose mission is dedication to ending forced and child marriage in the United States through direct services and systems change. Unchained At Last's mission clearly meshes and addresses several of our Humanist Ten Commitments. Becca will educate us about an issue many of us may not be familiar with--but should be. Food and drinks will be provided at the event. Feel free to show up a little bit early to hang out and talk. Going forward our meetings will be hybrid. You can meet us in-person or attend online Join Zoom Meeting [https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1](https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87836564953?pwd=4Mi57ElZkDIFlb1fnlNwOJ0NiOK4tP.1) Meeting ID: 878 3656 4953 Passcode: 760812 One tap mobile +19292056099,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (New York) +13017158592,,87836564953#,,,,\*760812# US (Washington DC) The formal presentation will start at noon

Join us as we get together to get together to help those in need at this CMG Gives Back event! We have a great little community of Movie Group friends so rather than see a movie this time, we’ll help “create a better world” by helping serve those in need. Here are complete details and our plan for this event: FAITH MISSION – GRANT KITCHEN: The Faith Mission kitchen and dining room serves residents 3 meals a day, every day of the year. For this event, our group will help prepare food, serve meals, assist residents in the dining room, wash dishes, and clean surfaces. PLAN: We will be preparing / serving / cleaning for BRUNCH from 10:30am to 12:30pm and have space for a total of 7 volunteers. Please arrive at 10:20am and wear closed-toe shoes and long pants. LOCATION: Faith Mission – Grant Kitchen is located at 245 N. Grant Ave. Enter the kitchen at Dock 1 (in the back of the building), indicated in the attached map. On-site parking in the adjacent lot and street parking is available in the surrounding area. Below are some links / attachments with additional info/details: IMPORTANT REMINDER: Our group will be providing all of the volunteers on this day so a firm RSVP count is essential. Please only sign up if you are certain you’ll be able to attend. If something unavoidable comes up, please try to update your RSVP no later than one week prior to the event. With few exceptions, no shows or cancelations within 1 week of the event will not be eligible for future CMG Gives Back events. I appreciate your understanding as we try to ensure the agencies have the volunteers needed to provide the essential services they provide to the vulnerable population they serve. Our Partner Agency for this event is Lutheran Social Services! A huge THANK YOU to all of YOU for volunteering at this (and any of our previous) CMG Gives Back events! Should be a good/fun/meaningful time together, Dan

Whether you've never done improv before, or you've done it for so long you knew Del Close on a personal level, or anywhere in between, come join us! Swing by *Gresso's* for the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup** for some fun and games! The idea behind improv is to create entire scenes from scratch based on a suggestion from the audience. This can be done in game form, like *Whose Line Is It Anyway*, *ComedySportz*, or *Wild 'n Out*; it could also be done to tell stories, like *Middleditch and Schwartz*. Our meetup, which is central Ohio's longest running (and free!) weekly comedy event, brings the games (and occasionally different forms) for you to play in a safe, supportive, and compassionate environment. Not only is it a lot of fun, but you get to work on thinking faster on your feet, plus it's an excellent way to meet new people and make friendships that'll last a lifetime! Ask yourself if you want to join the **Columbus Improv Comedy Meetup**, and say "Yes, And" that you'll have fun!
