You will be surprised to know that a new, and giant sunspot solar flare is currently visible, and to put the icing on the cake, it’s four times bigger than the size of the Earth and can be seen with the naked eye. Sounds intriguing? Yes, it is! If you are an astrology person and […]
What are solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) and how do they affect Earth’s magnetic field? Solar flares and CMEs (coronal mass ejections) are powerful events that happen in the solar system. They send a lot of energy toward Earth’s magnetic field in the form of plasma gas. This can cause problems for power […]
Have you ever heard of a solar storm? These fascinating and dangerous phenomena occur when the Sun releases a burst of energy in the form of charged particles and electromagnetic radiation into space, which can cause geomagnetic storms on Earth. However, if you are wondering what would happen if a solar storm were to hit […]
RHESSI satellite has a total mass of 270 kg but will disintegrate into gas and ash during impact. Experts predict that in the following days, a NASA spacecraft that is no longer operational will begin its uncontrolled descent to Earth. According to their calculations, the US military expects the RHESSI satellite, which monitored the sun […]
The Allure of the Northern Lights in 2024 The spectacle of the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, has always captivated many. But as we approach 2024, the allure is about to become even more breathtaking. Due to increasing solar activity, the next 18 months leading into 2024 promise a once-in-a-lifetime celestial display of the Northern […]
We all know a fact that the ocean holds a lot of mysteries. And that is why the black hole in the ocean is one of them. From underwater volcanoes to the Bermuda Triangle, black holes astonish scientists a lot. If we say that ocean whirlpools are different from whirlpools in space. Then we would […]
Calabash Nebula: A Journey Through Space and Time The Calabash Nebula, also known as the Rotten Egg Nebula, presents a cosmic spectacle that captivates astronomers and space enthusiasts alike. Located approximately 5,000 light-years away in the constellation of Puppis, this nebula offers a rare glimpse into the final stages of a star’s life cycle. This […]
The Einstein Probe, a cutting-edge space observatory, is set to embark on a groundbreaking mission that promises to unravel the mysteries of extreme black holes and star explosions. Central to this mission is the remarkable Lobster Eye technology, a revolutionary X-ray imaging system that enables the probe to capture high-resolution images of celestial phenomena. In […]
Sun Storms and Life’s Origins: A new study proposes that early building blocks of life on Earth could have resulted from solar eruptions. Amino acids and carboxylic acids, the building blocks of proteins and organic life on Earth, can be formed when solar particles collide with gases in the early Earth’s atmosphere, as demonstrated by […]
The X-ray vision of the NuSTAR Telescope reveals some of the most burning regions in the Sun’s atmosphere. Human eyes cannot see all of the light that our closest star emits, not even on a sunny day. The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array of NASA captures a new image that shows part of this hidden light. […]
