On June 20, an X1.1-class solar flare erupted on the Sun, making it one of the biggest explosions seen this year. The flare sparked a shortwave radio blackout across North America that affected wireless communications for as long as 30 minutes after the flare first erupted. NASA also spotted a massive coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud escaping after the blast. This CME is extremely potent and has been classified as Type II solar emission. This dangerous CME is capable of delivering an extremely dangerous solar storm.…

Europe is in danger of losing the race to become a global battery powerhouse as access to raw materials remains a major roadblock along with rising costs and fierce competition, a report by the European Court of Auditors (ECA) said on Monday.The report warned that the European Union may fail to meet climate goals as those efforts rely heavily on the uptake of electric vehicles run on batteries made up of a cocktail of metals ranging from cobalt to nickel and lithium. The ECA, the EU's independent external auditor, said…

via Warner Bros. If Warner Bros. could recapture the lightning in a bottle that The Flash had a couple of months ago, then things would be looking pretty rosy right about now. Instead, the hype train may have left the station far too early, with things going from bad to worse for the long-delayed blockbuster. After being hyped as one of the greatest comic book adaptations of all-time – admittedly by people employed by Warner Bros. and DC – The Flash debuted to an underwhelming Rotten Tomatoes score and has been…

The second half of May and the first week of June were relatively quiet in terms of solar activity. The Earth did suffer a radio blackout earlier this week when sunspot AR3327 exploded and produced an M4.6-class solar flare. The sunspot has not exploded since then and it is likely that like the other sunspots present on the Earth-facing side of the Sun, it will also dissipate. However, the next week might bring trouble for our planet as the NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) has spotted a high number of…

After a brief period of calm, the Sun has sprung back into action. On June 4, an explosion on the surface of the Sun hurled a large cloud of coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. Unfortunately, it was directed towards the Earth. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) detected the incident using its satellites and issued a solar storm alert on June 7 and 8. Notably, this is going to be the first solar storm of June and the first one in almost two weeks. Know what you should expect.As per a report by…

Hvaldimir, a juvenile male beluga whale suspected of being part of the Russian military and known as the “spy whale,” captured the hearts of millions of people who happened upon the ball-throwing, fin-waving cetacean after he appeared in a Norwegian fjord in the spring of 2019. After four years of slowly traveling south, Hvaldimir recently sped up his movement dramatically. He has now left Norway for Swedish waters, where he is showing signs of malnourishment and dehydration. He urgently needs our help. Sometimes an…

via Prime Video Not to pigeonhole an entire subgenre, but international action comedies can often be very strange, but often in the best kind of way. Without the restraints that blight many major Hollywood productions, the key creatives are free to tell whatever story they want however they see fit, with Medellin clearly the result of an unfiltered imagination. After all, how else do you explain the existence of writer, director, and star Franck Gastambide gathering together a multinational ensemble cast –…

As the Earth still waits for the solar winds that are now expected to hit sometime later today, June 3, and spark a minor solar storm, a far more concerning development is worrying astronomers. As per studies, the thermosphere, which is part of the upper atmosphere, has been pushed higher and turned hotter as a result of multiple solar storms that struck the Earth in 2023. These solar storms have transferred a high amount of energy that has caused the thermosphere to shift upwards and heat up. Now, air is reaching the…

via Warner Bros Despite numerous reports of Ezra Miller‘s controversial actions in 2022, The Flash director Andy Muschietti, and producer Barbara Muschietti claimed that they were not worried about the film being canceled or boycotted. Both director and producer commented about the calls to cancel the film during an interview with Entertainment Weekly, and claimed that the film wasn’t in danger. According to Barbara, the fear was “never real.” Meanwhile, Andy pointed out that the real issue was about Miller’s…
