The intense solar wind streams which have been slamming the magnetic field of Earth – also known as the magnetosphere – have led to some major changes. The solar winds have formed the sunward side of the magnetosphere which is called a bow shock and has stretched the magnetic field in the shape of a …
The modeling from the event is awaited, and it is not known if the CME will strike the Earth. The Halo CME observed on 21 July. (Image Credit: NASA/SDO/SOHO/LASCO/News9). New Delhi: On 21 July, 2024, a disappearing solar filament erupted from the Sun. These filaments are clouds of relatively denser and cooler plasma than …
Updated Jul 2, 2024, 13:40 IST A G1-class or even stronger geomagnetic storm is expected to hit our home planet on July 3rd, NOAA forecasters alerted. Know more details. Earth Braces for Minor Geomagnetic Storms from Solar Eruptions Are we moving towards Solar Maxima? The continuous heightened solar activity suggests likewise. This has been further …
Inside the global effort to track the strongest solar storm, which triggered the most powerful auroras seen in over 500 years. The Sun has reached peak activity in its 11-year cycle as it blasts off plasma and materials towards the inner and outer solar system without a pause. Earth was in the firing line when …
The Sun, at the moment, is highly active as it moves to the peak in its current solar cycle and the star in our solar system can be dramatic depending on its mood. One such dramatic event happened three years ago. April 17, 2021, was supposed to be a period of solar calmness, but then …
New Delhi,UPDATED: Feb 7, 2024 14:28 IST In a stunning display of cosmic activity, the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory’s (SOHO) coronagraphs have recorded an extraordinary full halo Coronal Mass Ejection (CME). This remarkable event, where the CME completely encircles the sun, has caught the attention of space weather forecasters and astronomers alike. A full halo …
An intense solar event occurred in the early hours of February 6, as a sunspot unleashed a powerful M4-class solar explosion, according to a report by Indiatoday.in. “This significant solar activity sent a hot plume of plasma hurtling through the sun’s atmosphere at speeds exceeding 1,440,000 kilometers per hour, culminating in the formation of a …
New Delhi,UPDATED: Jan 15, 2024 14:12 IST In a cosmic event that shows the dynamic and sometimes violent nature of our solar system, Venus is bracing for an atmospheric hit. A coronal mass ejection (CME), a massive burst of solar wind and magnetic fields rising above the solar corona or being released into space, is …
A warning has been issued about an upcoming solar storm which that is slated to strike Earth today i.e. on 27 December. This comes as on 24th December, a coronal mass ejection (CME) occurred subsequent to the eruption of a magnetic filament on the side of the Sun that faces Earth. NASA’s prediction models has …
The unrelenting solar activity on the Sun is not just affecting the Earth but all the nearby planets as well. In October, it was reported that an intense coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud hit Venus and the strong electromagnetic fluctuation resulted in eroding some of its atmosphere which released into space. Now, a full halo …
