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 ...

Enceladus' Geysers May Not Come from Underground Ocean, Study Suggests
- Friday March 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Enceladus, one of Saturn’s most intriguing moons, has long been thought to have water plumes erupting from its underground ocean. However, a recent study proposes an alternative explanation, suggesting the plumes may originate from a semi-liquid layer within the moon’s ice shell. Researchers believe shear heating along fractures creates slushy,...

NASA's Juno Detects Io's Most Powerful Volcanic Eruption Yet
- Friday February 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA’s Juno spacecraft has recorded the most powerful volcanic eruption on Io, Jupiter’s most volcanic moon. The eruption site, detected on 27 December 2024, is fueled by a massive magma chamber spanning 105,000 square kilometers. The heat energy released is estimated at 80 trillion watts, exceeding Earth’s total power output. The volcanic ac...

X-Class Solar Flare From Sunspot 3912 Causes Radio Blackouts in Southern Africa
- Thursday December 12, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
A powerful X-class solar flare erupted from sunspot region 3912 on December 8, disrupting high-frequency radio communications in southern Africa. The flare, accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME), ionised Earth’s upper atmosphere, absorbing radio signals and causing blackouts in areas exposed to peak solar activity. Experts predict the CME ...
