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 ...

NASA BioSentinel Investigates Space Radiation During Major Geomagnetic Storm on Earth
In May 2024, Earth experienced a magnificent geomagnetic storm, leading to dazzling auroras across the skies. During this event, NASA’s BioSentinel spacecraft collected essential data on solar radiation while orbiting the Sun over 30 million miles away. This research is vital for understanding the effects of radiation in deep space, especially as...

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...

Elon Musk's Starlink Satellites Could Deplete Earth's Ozone Layer, Study Warns
The ozone layer in the Earth's atmosphere absorbs harmful ultraviolet radiation from the Sun, which can cause skin cancer on exposure and even disrupt crop yields and food production.

Antarctic Wildlife Is Being Sunburnt. Scientists Say It's A "Wake-Up Call"
The ultraviolet radiation from the Sun increase the risk of skin cancer and cataracts in humans, but researchers do not yet know if the same is true for Antarctic mammals and birds.

NASA Is Exploring Solar Sails to Propel Spacecrafts Through Space in Future
NASA is working towards exploring if solar sails could be a viable way for space-based travel. Solar sails are mirror-like devices mounted on spacecraft that capture the Sun's light. The captured light exerts radiation pressure on the sails and thus propels the spacecraft through the vacuum of space.
