A ‘Rosetta Stone’ explosion, as the space agency described it, gave scientists new insight into outbursts from the surface of the Sun

A sunspot unleashed a chain of solar flares last Saturday, May 22, jamming radio signals over North America and Southeast Asia and potentially causing a disturbance to Earth's magnetic [...]

Aurora possible this week and last updated 2021-05-24 12:50:57-04 MISSOULA — Geomagnetic Storm Watches: May 25-27 The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Space Weather Prediction Center as issued a Geomagnetic Storm Watch for May 25-27 (Tuesday - Thursday) Geomagnetic storms on the sun produce Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs). As these fast moving charged particles interact with Earths atmosphere they can cause a Northern Lights display. The possible max area of the Auro...

Astronomers studied over 150 years of space weather and solar storm activity  They looked for patterns in the timings of some of the most extreme solar events The sun operates in an 11 year cycle going from solar minimum to maximum  During this cycle the suns magnetic north and south poles switch places We are currently early in Cycle 25, which started in December 2019, say NASA  The team found extreme events are more common early in even numbered cycles and that they are more common later i...

The European Space Agency (ESA) is calling on the public to rename its Lagrange spacecraft, which will spot potentially hazardous solar storms from the Sun before they reach Earth.   The new space weather mission will keep constant watch over our unpredictable and often unruly star, sending back a steady stream of data to ESA.  Suggestions for the satellites name can be made from now until October 17 on the ESAs website, and the winner will get a nifty prize, the space agency says.   Someo...

A solar storm could mean the Northern Lights will be seen from the UK on Wednesday evening, according to the Met Office.  The phenomenon, also known as the aurora borealis, should be visible under clear skies in Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Isle of Man and possibly even parts of Northern England, as well as other areas of the world near the North Pole.  The Northern Lights are created by disturbances in Earths magnetosphere caused by a flow of particles from the Sun, and are usually concen...

Science History Images/Alamy More stars than ever before have been observed ejecting huge bursts of electrically charged particles into space. Learning more about the behaviour will be important for understanding whether planets orbiting the stars are potentially habitable or not. Stars like our sun are known to produce coronal mass ejections, huge eruptions of electrically charged particles from the outer atmosphere caused by instabilities in the star’s magnetic field. They are often associa...

https://www.afinalwarning.com/508671.html (Natural News) A study published in the Astrophysical Journal suggests that the sun can unleash a massive burst of energy called a “superflare” within this century. Such an event can knock down the power grid and satellites, pushing society to the brink of collapse. “Our study shows that superflares are rare events,” said Yuta Notsu, an astronomer currently performing research at the The sun is not as tranquil as previously thought Sup...

Synopsis A software named Computer Aided CME Tracking Software based on a computer vision algorithm was so far used to detect and characterise such eruptions automatically in the outer corona where these eruptions cease to show accelerations and propagate with a nearly constant speed. AP Scientists have developed a new technique to track the huge bubbles of gas, threaded with magnetic field lines, which are ejected from the sun disrupting space weather and causing geomagnetic storms, satellite ...

328 New Delhi, April 1 Scientists have developed a new technique to track the huge bubbles of gas, threaded with magnetic field lines, which are ejected from the sun disrupting space weather and causing geomagnetic storms, satellite failures, and power outages, the Department of Science and Technology said Thursday.  The new technique will be used in Indias first solar mission Aditya-L1. As the ejections from the sun, technically called Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), cause various disturbances...
