to understand the cause of yesterday'smysterious power outagein Spain and Portugal. It is already clear that space weather didn't do it. There were no solar flares, no geomagnetic storms, and no suspicious fluctuations in the solar wind before or during the outage.Solar flare alerts:SMS Text...
You can visitSpaceWeatherLive, where the data for the table above came, and check out the top 50 solar flares for each year since 1996. Flare origins Flares form in areas where loops ofmagnetic fieldrun through the solar atmosphere. Generated by the churning of plasma (electrically charged ho...
Sun unleashes powerful M5.6 solar flare and Earth is in the firing line — are auroras incoming? By Daisy Dobrijevic Published April 1, 2025 The Sun A total solar eclipse from 2471 B.C. may have shaken Egypt's cult of the sun By Monisha Ravisetti Published March 29, 2025 The ...
A special case is the high-energy flare: this one may originate in the same way as less energetic ones, but it occurs in regions with higher magnetic field strength. Because of the high particle energies involved their emission seats live only very briefly; hence the area of emission ...
Solar activity is on the rise as we experience solar cycle 25. Solar maximum is predicted to occur in 2025. To find out if there is a solar flare today and to keep up with the latest space weather findings,SpaceWeatherLive.comrecords the most recent 24 hours of solar X-ray data from ...
“For one glorious minute, we saw the sun’s corona flare out on all sides of the shadow. All the guests, crew, and staff stood on multiple decks in awe and took photos. Then, the whole sequence of events reversed as we saw the diamond ring and crescent-sun stages before the sun di...
they applied artificial intelligence to the challenge. They used the new technology to predict the events that were associated with the May 2024 storm, the corresponding flares from the region designated 13644 and CMEs. The storm unleashed intense solar events including a flare classed as an X8.7...
Flare-to- are variations in line uxes suggested that the abundances of elements in the are plasma are grouped with respect to rst ionization potential (FIP): line uxes from elements with similar FIP correlate well with one another. In contrast, the low-FIP to high-FIP line ratios were ...
A powerful solar flare, hurled into space when superhot gases erupted on the sun yesterday (Feb, 13), might cause a display of the aurora borealis for parts of the northern United States overnight tonight (Feb. 14). The sun unleashed the solar flare yesterday at about 12:30 p.m. EST ...
Solar Flare 25 January 2016 Future Trends: Crowdfunded Public Works Some great reflections on future trends from the Economist. I’m particularly enthralled with the third: public participation in development of cities and communities via mechanisms such as crowdfunding. Imagine: green spaces developed...
