Danger

The explosions on the Sun are not showing any signs of slowing down as we enter the third day of solar flare eruptions. Yesterday, multiple coronal mass ejection (CME) clouds were detected by NASA which were moving in different directions, although none were reported to be coming towards the Earth. But that did not last long. A few hours earlier today, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) detected a large CME cloud sweeping past its DSCOVR satellite. This CME was not detected earlier and comes as a…

Hollywood star Jamie Foxx is reportedly doing well following a month-long stay in a Georgia hospital due to an undisclosed medical emergency. While details about his condition have not been revealed, an insider close to the 55-year-old actor and comedian confirmed to PEOPLE magazine that the situation was once "life-threatening," but he is now "stable" and out of immediate danger. US actor Jamie Foxx attends the men's quater-final match between Christopher Eubanks of the US and Daniil Medvedev of Russia at the…

Although asteroids are in elliptical orbits far out in space, these rocks also rotate, sometimes quite erratically in their orbit. Interaction with the gravitational field of a planet can cause asteroids to deviate from their trajectory and impact a planet like Earth. These space rocks are usually made up of rocks, but they can also be made of metals such as nickel and iron, or even clay. The increasing proximity of asteroids to Earth makes it imperative for space agencies to continuously monitor them.In response to an…

When it comes to the field of artificial intelligence, three pioneers stand above the rest. Often collectively known as the Godfathers of AI, they are Yoshua Bengio, Yann LeCun, and Geoffrey Hinton. Hinton, in particular, is viewed as a leading figure in the field of deep learning and has published an important paper on the backpropagation algorithm for training multi-layer neural networks. However, in a shocking move, he recently quit his job at Google so he could speak more freely about the risks of AI. In a recent…

On April 30, the forecasters from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) warned about a sunspot, named AR3288, which was growing at an exponential rate and contained unstable delta-class magnetic fields. Just a day after the warning, the sunspot exploded, blasting a powerful solar flare in the direction of the Earth. As per NASA, it was an M7-class flare eruption and it sparked a radio blackout over the Atlantic Ocean region. The bigger question now is whether a solar storm is coming for the Earth.A…

Geoffrey Hinton was an artificial intelligence pioneer. In 2012, Hinton and two of his graduate students at the University of Toronto created technology that became the intellectual foundation for the AI systems that the tech industry's biggest companies believe is a key to their future.On Monday, however, he officially joined a growing chorus of critics who say those companies are racing toward danger with their aggressive campaign to create products based on generative AI, the technology that powers popular chatbots…

Astronomers using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes have identified a new threat to life on planets like Earth: a period during which intense X-rays from exploded stars can affect planets over 100 light-years away.The finding, published recently in The Astrophysical Journal, has implication for the study of planets outside the solar system and their habitability. This threat comes from a supernova's blast wave striking dense gas surrounding the exploded star. When this impact occurs it can…

The most prominent thing you will notice while using a web browser or any application are Google Ads. Now, cybercriminals are using malicious Google Ads or SEO poisoning to spread malware which can lead to financial losses for common users. According to a recent blog post by Secureworks, Counter Threat Unit (CTU) researchers have observed a malware called Bumblebee, which is being distributed via Trojanized installers for popular softwares like Zoom, Cisco AnyConnect, ChatGPT, and Citrix Workspace.Bumblebee malware is a…

Twitter CEO Elon Musk said that his micro-blogging platform has become a "serious danger" to traditional media outlets, as he restored legacy Blue check marks for influential users and celebrities.Mario Nawfal, Co-founder and CEO at NFT Tech and founder of International Blockchain Consulting (IBC), said in a tweet that he never realised how much the media hates Musk until this week."Twitter gets criticised for $8 verification, yet no one talks about Instagram copying the strategy at almost double the price," he posted,…

NASA has confirmed a new danger for Earth! Astronomers have discovered this new danger from data collected from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes. The study, which reports this threat, reveals that during a specific phase, powerful X-rays from exploding stars can affect planets situated over 100 light-years away. The implications of this finding for the study of exoplanets and their habitability are significant.The study is based on the X-ray observations of 31 supernovae and their aftermath, with…
