Parker Solar Probe to Break Records with Historic Sun Flyby on December 24
- Friday December 13, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA's Parker Solar Probe is set for a record-breaking approach to the sun on December 24, travelling at 430,000 mph and reaching within 3.8 million miles of the surface. The spacecraft, equipped with advanced heat shields, will navigate solar plasma plumes and potentially an active eruption during this phase of heightened solar activity. This flyb...

Solar 'Battle Zone' Could be Even Worse Than Solar Maximum, Experts Warn
- Friday December 6, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Experts warn that the sun's next phase, the "battle zone," could result in increased geomagnetic activity, lasting until 2028. This period could bring heightened solar flares and coronal holes, which may cause disruptions to satellites in low-Earth orbit. Space weather experts, including Scott McIntosh from Lynker Space, have noted that this phase ...

NASA Confirms Solar Maximum as Sun Reaches Peak of Its 11-Year Cycle with Heightened Activity
- Friday October 18, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA and NOAA report that the Sun has reached its most active phase in the 11-year solar cycle, known as solar maximum. This period increases solar storms, affecting satellites, astronauts, and Earth's communication and power systems. While the exact peak won’t be confirmed for months, solar activity is expected to remain high for the next year.

Powerful Solar Storm Might Have Caused Widespread Auroras and Potential Disruptions, NOAA Says
- Monday October 14, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
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...

Earth Braces for Impact as Sun Releases Powerful X-Class Solar Flare
- Monday October 7, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
On October 3, the sun emitted its most powerful solar flare of the current cycle, an X9.05 eruption. This flare, originating from the sunspot group AR3842, caused shortwave radio blackouts over Europe and Africa. Additionally, a coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to arrive on Earth between October 3 and October 5, potentially enhancing auroras...

Sun’s Magnetic Activity Is Making It Difficult to Gauge Its True Age, Study Finds
- Monday August 26, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Astronomers have traditionally relied on helioseismology to estimate the Sun's age by analysing the vibrations that ripple through its interior. However, recent research has uncovered a significant obstacle, the Sun's magnetic activity, which follows an 11-year cycle, appears to be distorting these measurements. Data from the Birmingham Solar Oscil...

NASA Might Have Spotted Highest Number of Sunspots in Over 20 Years
- Tuesday August 20, 2024
- Gadgets 360 Staff
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...

ESO Releases Image of Aftermath of Large Star's Explosive Death
- Monday October 31, 2022
- Reuters
The aftermath of a large star's explosive death is seen in an image released on Monday by the European Southern Observatory, showing immense filaments of brightly shining gas that was blasted into space during the supernova. Before exploding at the end of its life cycle, the star is believed to have had a mass at least eight times greater than our ...

Sun Has a Mysterious Hole!
- Tuesday May 13, 2014
- World News | Indo-Asian News Service
A mysterious squarish hole in our sun from where solar wind is streaming out at a super fast speed has been captured. Luckily for us, it is positioned so far south on the sun that there is less chance that the solar wind stream will impact the earth.
