X-Class Solar Flare From Sunspot 3912 Causes Radio Blackouts in Southern Africa
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 ...

Scientists Predict Ultramassive Black Holes Can’t Grow Beyond 100 Billion Suns
Scientists led by Dr Priyamvada Natarajan from Yale University have discovered that ultramassive black holes likely cannot exceed 100 billion solar masses. These giants regulate their own growth by emitting gas jets that heat and expel surrounding material, cutting off their gas supply. Additionally, the team is exploring intermediate-mass black ho...

Evidence of Massive Solar Storm Strike on Earth 2,700 Years Ago Discovered in Tree Rings
Researchers from the University of Arizona have uncovered evidence of a powerful solar storm that occurred between 664 and 663 BCE, known as a Miyake Event. The discovery was made by analysing radiocarbon spikes in ancient tree rings, which act as natural records of past solar activity. These rare events, first identified in 2012, occur when solar ...
