X-Class Solar Flare From Emerging Sunspot Causes Radio Blackouts
- Wednesday April 2, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
An unexpected X1.1-class solar flare erupted from sunspot AR4046, triggering shortwave radio blackouts over North and South America. The flare originated from the sun’s eastern limb and was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection that is not expected to impact Earth. Space weather experts have warned that the sunspot will face Earth in the coming ...

NASA to Launch Three Rockets in Alaska to Study Auroral Substorms’ Impact
- Saturday March 29, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA is conducting a rocket experiment from Poker Flat Research Range in Alaska. Three rockets will launch within a three-hour window to study how auroral substorms influence the Earth's upper atmosphere. Scientists will observe whether auroras drive vertical convection or if acoustic-buoyancy waves spread their energy over a wider region. Vapour t...

Solar Storm to Trigger Northern Lights in US: Visibility, Timing & Impact
- Thursday March 6, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A solar storm is expected to reach Earth tonight, potentially creating auroras visible as far south as New York and Idaho. The Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) of NOAA forecasts a G1-class geomagnetic storm, with a possibility of stronger G2 conditions. This may lead to disruptions in GPS and radio signals. The best time to witness the northe...

NASA Partners With SpaceX To Launch NEO Surveyor, a Mission To Detect Asteroid Threats
- Friday February 28, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA has selected SpaceX for the launch of its NEO Surveyor spacecraft in 2027. The mission, valued at $100 million, will use a Falcon 9 rocket to deploy the spacecraft to the Sun-Earth Lagrange Point 1. The infrared telescope will help detect and track hazardous near-Earth objects, including difficult-to-spot dark asteroids. This mission builds on...

NASA Confirms Asteroid 2024 YR4 Will Not Hit Earth, Risk Reduced to Zero
- Friday February 28, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA has reassured the public that asteroid 2024 YR4 no longer poses any threat to Earth. Initially, the asteroid had a 1-in-32 chance of impact, making it a Level 3 risk on the Torino Scale. However, new observations have reduced the probability to zero. The asteroid will make close flybys in 2028 and 2032, providing scientists with an opportunity...

NASA Lowers Risk of Asteroid 2024 YR4 Impact
- Friday February 21, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA has significantly lowered the risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 hitting Earth in 2032. Initial estimates placed the impact probability at 1 in 32, but updated calculations have reduced it to just 1 in 360 (0.28 percent). Experts believe the risk will continue to decline as more data is collected. Despite being the riskiest asteroid on NASA’s Sentry ...

- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Asteroid 2024 YR4, measuring 180 feet wide, has a 2.3% chance of impacting Earth on 22 December 2032, according to scientists. A smaller 0.3% risk of the asteroid colliding with the moon has also been noted. While the Earth impact could release energy equal to 8 megatons of TNT, a moon strike may create a visible crater. Researchers are using the J...

A significant solar storm in May 2024 led to the creation of two temporary radiation belts, detected by the CIRBE satellite in June. One belt contained high-energy electrons, while the other was rich in protons, a rare occurrence. While the electron belt dissipated in three months, the proton-dominated belt remains, potentially affecting space miss...
