A very small instrument has a big job ahead of it: measuring all Earth-directed energy coming from the Sun and helping scientists understand how that energy influences our planet’s severe weather, ...

A solar eruption that occurred in Oct. 2021 was simultaneously detected here on Earth, on the moon — and even on Mars. By detecting the same coronal mass ejection (CME) on these three different worlds ...

Solar radiation prediction and analysis lie at the forefront of renewable energy research and climate modelling. Quantifying the amount of solar energy reaching the Earth’s surface is critical for ...

The radiation dose on the surface of mars jumped up to the equivalent of receiving 30 chest X-rays all in one go. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here ...

A rare blast from the sun has just pushed radiation in Earth’s atmosphere to levels not seen in nearly two decades, briefly turning the sky itself into a harsher place for high‑altitude flyers and ...

Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation that occur on the Sun's surface, resulting from the release of magnetic energy associated with sunspots. These flares can vary in intensity, and their ...

The Sun is currently in its active phase and has been unleashing a steady stream of powerful solar flares, triggering severe geomagnetic storms on Earth. But the consequences of these solar outbursts ...

European regulators issued an Emergency Airworthiness Directive grounding specific Airbus A319, A320, and A321 aircraft after an "uncommanded and limited pitch down" incident on a JetBlue flight, ...

Example of hectometric continuum (HMC) radiation recorded by the ERG (Arase) satellite on September 26, 2019. The top panel shows how the intensity of the radio signal varied across the 100–2000 kHz ...

Will a solar eclipse harm a pregnant woman's baby if she looks at it? Does an eclipse emit special radiation that can instantly blind you? Those are some of the ideas people have been asking about — ...

Arizona-based Solestial, a specialist in space-based solar tech, has agreed to partner with in-space logistics firm Atomos Space. It will supply ultra-thin PV blankets for Atomos Space’s ...
