Powerful Solar Storm Might Have Caused Widespread Auroras and Potential Disruptions, NOAA Says
A powerful G4-class solar storm, triggered by a coronal mass ejection from the sun, is causing breathtaking auroras in unusual regions. This geomagnetic event may disrupt power grids and communication systems while providing the chance for spectacular light displays across the northern half of the United States. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric...

Scientists Find Evidence of Past Extreme Solar Storms, Warn of Potential Technological Catastrophe
Scientists have uncovered evidence of past solar storms that were far more extreme than the well-known Carrington event of 1859, which disrupted telegraph systems across Europe and North America. By studying radiocarbon levels in tree rings, researchers like Fusa Miyake have identified ancient solar events, including a massive storm in AD774 that d...

NASA Might Have Spotted Highest Number of Sunspots in Over 20 Years
On August 8, 2024, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) may have documented a record-breaking number of sunspots in a single day, marking a significant event in Solar Cycle 25. These sunspots, which are dark, cooler areas on the Sun’s surface caused by intense magnetic activity, play a crucial role in the Sun's behaviour and have a direct impa...

60% Chance Fresh Solar Storm Will Hit Earth This Week, Says US Agency
NOAA said it is a G2-class geomagnetic storm, which is of "Moderate" intensity. These occur about 600 times per solar cycle. They may cause transformer damage at high latitudes, and power systems may experience voltage alarms.

Dutch Greenhouse Growing Tulips Using Solar Powered Bitcoin Mining to Cut Down on Gas Prices
A greenhouse near Amsterdam is using solar energy to mine Bitcoin, while using the heat generated from the miners to grow tulips. The system helps cut the reliance on gas, as prices increased after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The greenhouse is also selling tulips online for bitcoin via a business called Bitcoinbloem.

Lucy Back on Its Solar-Powered Journey to Jupiter Trojans After NASA Team Troubleshoots Spacecraft
Just hours into Lucy's 12-year journey in October 2021, the first-ever Trojan asteroids mission met an unexpected challenge. Data showed that one of Lucy's solar arrays, which is intended to unfold like a hand fan and power the spacecraft's systems, hadn't fully expanded and locked. To troubleshoot the issue, teams from NASA and Lucy mission partne...

Solar Storm Expected to Hit Earth on August 3: All You Need to Know
A geomarnetic storm, or solar storm, is headed towards Earth and is predicted to hit the planet today. It has been classified as G1, which means it is mild, the geomagnetic storm is unlikely to cause any damage to life on Earth. However, it can still affect power grids and impact some satellite functions such as those used for GPS systems and mobil...
