If you search “heliophysics” on Merriam Webster now you’ll find that “heliophysics” is a trending word! Thank you to everyone who has been advocating for Heliophysics as our shared scientific discipline and bringing awareness to Heliophysics as a word. Community cohesion is particularly important in uncertain and rapidly changing times. We will begin planning soon for the 2027 Heliophysics Summit – the joint meeting of the Solar Physics Division of the American Astronomical Society (SPD/AAS) and the Space Physics and Aeronomy section of the American Geophysical Union (SPA/AGU).
