In order to detect any sort of small features of the solar wind, NASA’s Parker Solar probe has flown near enough to our sun. And revealed about its origin that is “coronal holes” in the sun’s atmosphere. “A Blessing in a Disguise”? How is it Possible? Scientists may now be able to better forecast solar […]
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 […]
NASA deactivated its InSight lander in December, but its seismometer data will be studied for decades. Scientists have discovered that Mars‘ liquid iron core is thinner and denser than previously believed by analyzing seismic waves the device picked up during two temblors in 2021. A report published on April 24 in the Proceedings of the […]
