ATLANTA, Aug. 26, 2021 — Titan, Saturn's largest moon, is a natural laboratory to study the origins of life. Like Earth, Titan has a dense atmosphere and...

The sun may have been quiet over the past week or so, but that didn't stop our planet's magnetic field allowing a minor CME to break its defenses and push the indexes into geomagnetic storm territory. A minor coronal mass ejection (CME) erupted...

Sat, 17 Jul 2021 06:42 UTC On July 16, a powerful halo CME escaped from the farside of the sun — the third such explosion in the last three days. Imagine an explosion on the farside of the sun so powerful, we could feel it here on Earth, writes Dr Tony Philips over at spaceweather.com. Well, it just happened — for the third time in as many days. The debris emerged in a circular cloud known as a halo CME: When space weather forecasters saw the first explosion (from July 13/14), there was a ...

UPTON, NY--How do you spot a subatomic neutrino in a "haystack" of particles streaming from space? That's the daunting prospect facing physicists...

According to data provided by the Danish Meteorological Institute (DMI), Greenland is currently GAINING snow and ice at a level never before seen this late into the season. Using the daily output from a weather forecasting model combined with a...

Date Time Share Dark Matter Particle Explorer Reports Most Precise Measurements of Cosmic Ray Proton and Helium Spectra above TeV and Reveals Chinese Academy of Sciences The Dark Matter Particle Explorer (DAMPE) collaboration reported the precise measurement of the energy spectrum of cosmic ray helium nuclei from 70 GeV to 80 TeV energies on May 18, 2021. For the first time, DAMPE reveals a softening structure at about 34 TeV energies in the helium spectrum with a high significance (~4.3σ). T...

China is leading international efforts in basic research on astronomy that may help redefine our understanding of physics.

Mon, 10 May 2021 07:00 UTC Near-term models dont know whether theyre coming or going. This meridional jet stream flow is throwing them for a loop. And after fooling many MSM publications into running headlines such as "Intense 10 day Heatwave set to strike Europe," the models have now flipped, and are forecasting yet more Arctic cold. "May time blizzard makes us shiver," tweeted the YorkshireSpeherdess, who runs a successful sheep farm. "You cant believe this is May," she says in the video. "I...

On May 12, a weak Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) released from the Sun hit Earth. The event was supposed to pass by uneventfully — it would perhaps spark a few auroras, but nothing more. So how did a strong G3 geomagnetic storm ensue? Nobody was expecting a level 3 event from this CME. Nobody saw the KP Index hitting 7. © spaceweathernews.comAnd when I say nobody, I mean nobody predicted this: not NASA, NOAA, ESA or IPS in Australia. The CMEs speed peaked at just 500 km/s (purple line below). ...
