NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – as seen in the bright flash in the upper left of the Sun – on February 22, 2024. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and which is colorized in bronze. Credit: NASA/SDOOn February 22, 2024, the Sun emitted an extremely strong solar flare. It reached its peak at 5:34 p.m. EST. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured an image of the event.This…

Greenland. Credit: Unsplash/CC0 Public Domain Greenland absorbs more of the greenhouse gas methane than it emits, according to a new study from the University of Copenhagen released Wednesday. "On average and since 2000, dry landscapes of the ice-free part of Greenland have consumed more than 65,000 tons of methane annually from the atmosphere, while 9,000 tons…

Concrete is one of the most common materials on Earth, thanks to its high strength and low cost – but it’s also one of the largest single sources of carbon dioxide emissions. Engineers at Washington State University (WSU) have developed a new method for making concrete that absorbs more carbon than it emits.The process of making cement requires very high temperatures, and that usually requires burning fuels which, of course, emits CO2. That can be partly offset by switching to renewable energy sources, but chemical…

The coming age of powerful AI chatbots may very well reshape the world in radical and unforeseen ways, but it could do so at an immense environmental cost. A new report released today by the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence estimates the amount of energy needed to train AI models like OpenAI’s GPT-3, which powers the world-famous ChatGPT, could power an average American’s home for hundreds of years. Of the three AI models reviewed in the research, OpenAI’s system was by far the most energy…

Astronomers from across the world have categorised a galaxy after discovering that the supermassive black hole at its centre has reversed course and is now headed in our way. PBC J2333.9-2343 is the designation for the distant galaxy that is 657 Mpc from Earth. "We started to study this galaxy as it showed peculiar properties. Our hypothesis was that the relativistic jet of its supermassive black hole had changed its direction, and to confirm that idea we had to carry out a lot of observations," said Dr…

When you think of galaxies, you probably imagine bright and flowing images similar to the colorful ones we’ve seen in recent months from NASA and the ESA’s James Webb space telescope. But, not all galaxies are created equal, it seems, as astronomers have discovered what they believe is a “dark galaxy,” a galaxy that doesn’t give off visible light. In most cases, galaxies share the same basic ingredients. They’re usually made up of tons of gas and stars, with dark matter surrounding them all and a black hole…

A video of the United Airlines Boeing 777-200 (registered N787UA) flight has created a frenzy on the internet. Having said that, the flight between New York Newark and Sao Paulo emitted sparks which were recorded live on the video. Reportedly, the sparks were seen when the flight took off from Newark Airport on Wednesday. The pilots were alert enough to get into a holding pattern above the Atlantic Ocean, and then return safely to Newark after 1 hour and 30 minutes. The flight UA149 returned to the United States after…

Use Plotly Gragh_object to make an animated treemap with a slider for changing data displayImage by Author.In this article, we will learn how to visualize hierarchical data with ‘tree map’ visualization using Graph_object module of Plotly library.Plotly Express vs. Plotly Graph_objectThe Plotly Python library is an open-source library for interactive visualization. The Plotly Express module offers a quick and easy implementation as a starting point for creating the most common figures with the simple syntax but lacks…

Taylor Swift Leaves Kylie Jenner & Drake Behind When It Comes To CO2 Emissions Via Private Flying In 2022 ( Photo Credit – Instagram ) Celebrities are always travelling around the world – or in some cases much shorter like Kylie Jenner taking a 12-minute flight recently and Drake’s moving his plane for storage, in their private jets – and this has recently come to the notice and been slammed by many. Now, a digital marketing agency conducted a study to see which celebs have been emitting the most…

Astronomers have discovered a super strange neutron star that challenges our understanding of them – but may help unlock the mystery of fast radio bursts (FRBs). The object spins far slower than any other known neutron star, and gives off seven distinct types of radio pulses.Neutron stars are the dense cores left behind after massive stars explode as supernovae, and some of them are known to throw off beams of radiation from their poles. If these beams just so happen to swing past Earth, they appear to us as brief,…
