New Delhi: NASA recently captured two explosive events on the surface of the sun, leading to the release of powerful solar flares. The Solar Dynamics Observatory documented these eruptions meticulously, as electromagnetic energy surged towards Earth. The flares, classified as X5.8 and X1.5-class, occurred on May 10 and May 11, 2024. Following these solar eruptions, … Read more
In the midst of the recent solar activity, the Earth may face potential impacts following four massive explosions observed on the Sun. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured this rare event in the early hours of Tuesday. Four distinct regions on the Sun, spread hundreds of thousands of kilometers apart, experienced nearly simultaneous eruptions. Coronal … Read more
TAMPA, Florida: In a striking astronomical event, four solar flares erupted simultaneously from different points on the Sun’s surface, sparking interest among scientists and skywatchers alike. The rare “quadruple” solar flare, observed on Tuesday, could potentially result in a solar storm heading toward Earth in the coming days, as reported by Spaceweather.com. The unusual tetrad … Read more
Stony Brook, New York – Computer simulations are shedding new light on the chaotic behavior of cannibal neutron stars when they absorb material from a nearby companion star. The resulting thermonuclear burning of this accumulated material can trigger explosive events that emit X-radiation across the Universe. Scientists are delving into the evolution and spread of … Read more
PUERTO VARAS, CHILE- The Vera Rubin Observatory is set to make huge strides in ground-based astronomy with the launch of its wide-field camera, which will begin searching for optical signatures of supernovae millions or billions of light years away. The observatory’s main goal is to not only study the effects of dark matter and dark … Read more
From College Park, Maryland, the EarthSky Sun News team brings you the latest update on solar activity. As of January 12, 2024, the sun has been particularly active, with four M flares recorded on its path to Solar Max, the peak of the sun’s 11-year cycle expected in 2024. Over the past 24 hours, the … Read more
