Solar Winds

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe will complete its final Venus gravity assist on 6 November, altering its path to make an unprecedented 3.86-million-mile approach to the sun on 24 December. The manoeuvre will allow Parker to pass closer than any human-made object to the sun, where it will study solar activity. Earlier flybys also revealed surprising det...

South Korea’s Korea Aerospace Administration (KASA) is collaborating with NASA to send a solar coronagraph named CODEX to the International Space Station (ISS). Scheduled for launch aboard SpaceX's Falcon 9 rocket, CODEX aims to observe the sun's corona and solar wind, providing vital data for understanding solar weather. This mission is part of ...

NASA and the newly formed Korea AeroSpace Administration (KASA) have signed an agreement to deepen cooperation in space exploration. Their upcoming mission will focus on exploring Lagrange Point 4, a gravitationally stable region in deep space that remains unexplored. This mission aims to advance our understanding of space radiation and the solar w...

Prime Minister Narendra Modi said India is preparing for a sustainable energy path for the next 1,000 years, focusing on solar, wind, nuclear and hydropower.

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 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...

A new study led by MIT's Nicole Nie has determined that meteorite impacts are the main source of the moon’s atmosphere, with impact vaporization accounting for 70% of the exosphere. Solar wind contributes the remaining 30%. This research, using Apollo lunar soil samples, offers a significant update on how the moon’s atmosphere is sustained.

The project includes installation of a 101 megawatt (MW) wind and 52 MW solar capacity, Mahindra Group said in a statement.

Adani Group will invest about Rs 2.3 lakh crore through 2030 in India's most ambitious renewable energy expansion and solar and wind manufacturing capacity addition ever as it shrugs off a short-seller attack to pursue its trademark rapid growth plan

India is moving ahead at a rapid pace in scaling up its renewable energy capacity in areas such as wind and solar energy and wants to move fast in nuclear energy and green hydrogen, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has said.

Sri Lanka on Friday awarded the construction of three solar and wind hybrid power generation facilities to an Indian company after scrapping a tender won by a Chinese firm.

Aditya L1, India's ambitious mission to study the sun, today made a giant leap and has now started observing solar winds.

After India’s solar mission, Aditya L1 began its journey towards Lagrange Point 1 following a key manoeuvre, it has started studying energetic particles in the solar wind from space and will continue to do so for the rest of its life, a senior astrophysicist said.

The storm is likely to cause some aurora displays and minor disruptions in electrical grids, navigation, and communication systems.

ISRO launched India's first solar mission, Aditya-L1, on September 2 from the Sriharikota space centre in Andhra Pradesh.
