Study Explores Sun’s Magnetic Field Changes and Solar Wind Acceleration
A study published in The Astrophysical Journal has shed light on how the Sun’s magnetic field influences solar wind acceleration. Using data from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, researchers observed that sharp magnetic switchbacks smooth out into gentler waves as they travel further from the Sun. This relaxation process transfers magnet...

Solar Orbiter Sends High-Resolution Images of Sun’s Surface, Unveiling New Details
The Solar Orbiter spacecraft has sent back the sharpest images of the sun’s surface, captured from 74 million kilometres away. These high-resolution images reveal the sun’s dynamic surface features, including granular patterns and sunspots. The spacecraft’s instruments also provided detailed maps of the sun’s magnetic fields, shedding light...

Comb Jellies Exhibit Rare Ability to Revert from Adult to Juvenile Form
Recent research from the University of Bergen has uncovered a fascinating survival mechanism in comb jellies (Mnemiopsis leidyi), demonstrating their ability to revert from adult to juvenile form in response to environmental stressors. This groundbreaking discovery challenges previous understandings of their life cycle and regeneration capabilities...

Aurora Season in September 2024 Could Bring Vibrant Northern Lights Due to Earth's Tilt
Auroras are expected to be more intense around September's equinox due to the Russell-McPherron Effect. The phenomenon occurs when Earth's magnetic field temporarily aligns with the solar wind, allowing charged particles to penetrate and interact with our atmosphere. This interaction causes vibrant Northern Lights, especially during the equinox. Wi...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe Unveils New Insights into Solar Heating Mystery
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has delivered groundbreaking insights into one of the sun's most perplexing mysteries: why its outer atmosphere, or corona, is significantly hotter than its surface. This phenomenon, known as the "coronal heating mystery," has puzzled scientists for decades. The Parker Solar Probe, which is the fastest human-made object, h...

NASA Explains How Intense Geomagnetic Storms Lead to Stunning Auroras
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a warning about an intense geomagnetic storm at level G4, which is likely to disrupt power grids, GPS, and radio signals. Despite these potential issues, the storm offers a remarkable visual treat with colourful auroras visible in high-latitude areas of Canada and the United Stat...

Apple’s Mixed Reality AR/VR Headset to Feature Digital Crown, Waist-Mounted Battery Pack: Report
Apple's mixed reality headset will reportedly be equipped with a digital crown, just like the AirPods Max and the Apple Watch. The purported headset which was previously tipped to be extremely light may be so due to the battery being worn around the waist, as suggested by a new report.

Nearly Perfect Einstein Ring 12 Billion Light-Years Away Spotted by NASA’s Webb Space Telescope
NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, the world's biggest and most powerful space science telescope, captured an Einstein ring, which is located nearly 12 billion light-years away, is the result of the gravitational lensing phenomena caused by the gravitational field from a massive object wraps space and deflects light from a distant galaxy behind it.

NTPC Lowers Carbon Footprint; Plans Projects to Light Up 2 Lakh Households, Reduce CO2 Emissions
NTPC Limited announced on Wednesday that it had achieved 69454 MW of group installed and commercial capacity. The country's largest integrated energy company commissioned its 56 MW Kawas Solar PV Project at NTPC Kawas, Gujarat on Monday. The Ministry of Power in a statement said that NTPC is steadily lowering its carbon footprint by reducing greenh...

Analysis of Neutrino That Crashed Into Antarctica Sheds Light on Origin of Cosmic Rays
In a new study, published in Science, researchers have detected a cosmic ray offshoot called a neutrino or ghost particles. These parties are considered so evasive that they interact with anything but as they travel, they don't come in contact with the atoms. Neutrinos are like small particles messengers that have spawned a new field of astronomy c...
