A stunning solar "waterfall" has been spotted on the surface of the sun.The picture, taken by astrophotographer Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau on March 9, shows a wall of plasma being shot "some 100,000 kilometers" – or about 62,000 miles – up towards space, Poupeau told Spaceweather.com.That's high enough to engulf about eight Earths.The plasma then seems to be cascading back down to the sun, giving the structure its "waterfall" nickname."On my computer screen, it looked like hundreds of threads of plasma were dripping down…

Opening the Konsole app from the KDE Plasma menu. Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNET In the terminal window, paste the following command and hit Enter on your keyboard: You'll be prompted for your user password. Once you've successfully typed that password, the installation will start and finish in just a few seconds. When that completes, close the terminal window.

Earlier this month, astrophotographer Andrew McCarthy pointed his solar telescope at the Sun and captured a mesmerizing and terrifying sight. The result of those three hours of observation is a video showcasing a massive plasma tornado on the Sun. The video isn’t long, but it provides a powerful glimpse into the terrifying nature of our Sun and the plasma that it unleashes each and every day.  This isn’t the first time that we’ve spotted such a tornado spouting out from the surface of the Sun, either. Earlier…

We don't know what a galaxy named RAD12-B did, but it must have been something heinous.That's because its companion galaxy has blasted a hot plasma jet right at it, in what seems (if we're going to be anthropomorphic about it) like a targeted attack.Discovered during observations by a team led by astronomer Ananda Hota of the University of Mumbai in India, this is the sixth ever galaxy pair found engaging in this sort of plasma-blasting activity. But the RAD12 system is unique for several reasons, and astronomers aren't…

CMEs are massive plasma clouds carrying photons that are ejected from the Sun. CME occurs extremely frequently during the 11-year solar cycle and is at peak during the middle of the cycle. Earth therefore, is being bombarded at the moment with a number of CMEs sparking problems for humanity. And now, NASA and ESA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory have recently observed dangerous dark plasma spewing out from the southwestern area of the solar surface.According to a report by spaceweather.com, this dark plasma was seen…

The magnetic filament seen at the equator on the Sun yesterday has released a coronal mass ejection (CME) cloud towards the Earth. Reports suggest that there is a likelihood that a major solar storm can strike our planet tomorrow, March 12, assisted by fast-moving solar winds. Forecasters believe that if this solar storm strikes the Earth, a big impact will be seen on the low-orbit satellites, which are mostly for weather monitoring. The Starlink satellites by SpaceX also fall in the same territory and it can affect…

Quark-gluon plasma is conventionally described using relativistic hydrodynamic models and studied experimentally through heavy-ion collisions. There has been a long-standing discrepancy between theory and experiment regarding the observation of particle yields in the low transverse momentum region and their absence in the model predictions. Now, researchers from Japan have addressed this issue, proposing a model that pins down the origin of the missing particle yields. Credit: Tetsufumi Hirano from Sophia University,…

Screenshot by Jack Wallen/ZDNETHow to edit a widgetWhen you add a widget to the desktop, it will be randomly placed and ready to use. You might, however, want to edit it. Those that include an edit option (not all of them do) allow you to rotate, resize, and configure the widget. Also: How to choose the right Linux desktop distributionTo enter Edit Mode, right-click the widget, and then select Enter…

KDE Plasma offers an elegant desktop. Image: Jack WallenThe truth is, there's a lot to be found with KDE, but not all of it is necessary.With that said, what's the best way to get, test, and enjoy the latest version of KDE Plasma? The answer is KDE Neon.What is KDE Neon?KDE Neon is a Linux distribution that is developed by the KDE team and is based on Ubuntu. KDE Neon offers two different versions of the operating system:User Edition, which is the stable version for everyday usage.Testing Edition, which is for…
