A double hole on the Sun’s surface has sent a dangerous solar storm to Earth and that too on Winter Solstice day. More solar storm activity expected today, December 22. Just a couple of days ago, a shockwave caused by fast-moving solar winds caused a crack in the magnetosphere of the Earth, which resulted in unexpected solar storm activity. Now, there is a relentless attack, as another solar storm has struck our planet in the early hours today, December 22. A flurry of auroras could be seen in the arctic region. But…

An extremely active sunspot has thrown out a coronal mass ejections (CME) and it is directed at the Earth. This is set to spark a solar storm on Earth tomorrow, December 8. The Sun is confusing everyone. Just yesterday, we had an off-chance of a minor solar storm possibility due to fast-moving solar winds that were approaching the Earth. And today, as many as five different sunspots and two filaments of magnetism have emerged on the Earth-facing disk side of the Sun. This is the most active the Sun has been in months…

The Earth will be tormented by a powerful solar storm today, November 22. The incoming solar disturbance has been caused by a coronal mass ejection (CME) spewed out by the Sun. In the last couple of weeks, the onslaught of solar storms has increased multifold. Every other day, the Earth is struck by a solar storm with a varying degree of intensity that is causing all sorts of troubles for us including, GPS disruption, radiowave blackouts and more. And it is not likely to stop anytime soon. Today, November 22, a…

Scientists have finally unraveled one of the biggest mysteries surrounding the planet Jupiter. And it turns out that solar storms were behind it all. While all eyes are on the Moon as the NASA Artemis 1 spacecraft was successfully launched today after multiple delays, scientists have made a major breakthrough in understanding Jupiter's atmosphere and solving a mystery that has puzzled astronomers for decades. It turns out that the upper atmosphere of Jupiter is very hot at about 400 degrees Celsius. This is comparable…

A huge blast was spotted coming out from the farside of the Sun. This blast site will face the Earth in about a week. Can it send a dangerous solar storm to Earth? Just a couple of days ago, the Earth suffered the Halloween-day solar storm attack from our Sun that appeared to have a scary smiley plastered on it face due to some dark spots emerging suddenly on its surface. These dark spots (also known as sunspots) are sites with extremely high magnetic fields which get destabilized and explode. This is how the coronal…

A powerful and dangerous strong solar storm on Earth can have stunning consequences for mobile phone users and even the amazing iPhone 14 is not safe. The Sun and its magnetized plasma that it ejects at unimaginable speeds are still being studied. There is a lot we do not know about these particles we call coronal mass ejections or CME. We do know that they are extremely dangerous and destructive in nature to us. We do not know how they are formed or what causes their randomness. When these CME particles are shot out…

It looks like ethereum's mega-upgrade is happening. Finally. After years of delays, the "Merge" seems all but certain to take place in September, with the cryptography underlying the blockchain undergoing a radical shift to a system where the creation of new ether tokens becomes far less energy-intensive. "It's an exciting time for the ethereum ecosystem," said Omar Syed, co-founder of smart contract platform Shardeum. "I think there will be drama surrounding the Merge, but I don't think there will be any technical…

NASA has warned about the potential impacts of “swirling Sun debris" created by a solar storm likely to hit the Earth by December 11. The agency said a coronal mass ejection (CME) of plasma and magnetic field escaped the Sun earlier this week and is expected to possibly strike by Saturday. Astronomers and space scientists say the NASA warning suggests the recent filament eruption is likely to give a “glancing blow” to the south of Earth. There is likely to be a mild disturbance to radio and GPS services but the aurora, a…
