Two months after the dreaded solar storm struck Earth and shocked scientists, a solution seems at hand. Folks at Aberystwyth University have done some rocket science and say they can do solar storm prediction even before it has left the Sun. Can solar storm prediction become so accurate that researchers know the exact time …
New Delhi,UPDATED: Jun 26, 2024 11:22 IST The historic sunspot region responsible for May 2024’s record-breaking solar storm on Earth has made a dramatic return, and unleashed a powerful M9.3 class solar flare on June 23. This marks the third appearance of this hyperactive sunspot, now designated AR3723, which previously triggered a massive G5 geomagnetic …
AR 3697 has fired off one last parting shot while rotating out of view. The eruption caused a brief blackout of radio communications on the sunlit side of the Earth. Such events are not unusual and there is no cause for concern among the general public. AR 3697 firing off a parting shot. (Image …
According to NASA’s Space Weather Prediction Center, the storm emanated from the sunspot AR3664 on May 27 and was a class X2.8, making it one of the most intense solar events in recent years, a report by NDTV states. NASA mentions on its website, “Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, …
A solar storm travels toward Earth at the speed of light. A powerful stream of energised particles (called solar storm) released by the Sun is headed towards the Earth that could lead to radio blackouts and aurora borealis or northern lights. According to NASA’s spaceweather.com, the storm emanated from the sunspot AR3664 on May 27 …
A striking set of gigantic sunspots, first spotted from Mars and now designated AR3576, is currently facing Earth, capturing the attention of astronomers, space enthusiasts, and concerned space weather forecasters. Hurricanes and Climate | Extreme Earth The cluster, nicknamed the “Martian sunspots,” was first discovered by NASA’s Perseverance rover using its MastCam in the final …
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 …
