A solar flare bursts off the left limb of the sun in this image captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory in 2014. File The sun may well add to this year’s Deepavali celebrations, if predictions made by solar physicists come true. A solar flare that occurred on the Sun has triggered a magnetic storm which…

Artificial intelligence (AI) could have predicted the powerful solar storm that impacted Earth in May last year, triggered by the highly active region AR13664 on the Sun, according to a new study. The team of researchers at the University of Genoa, led by Sabrina Guastavino, stated that by training AI on historical solar events, it…

Scientists have claimed that an interstellar visitor, much larger than any celestial body in our solar system, might have dramatically altered the orbits of the planets. The research, yet to be peer-reviewed but published in the arXiv preprint database, posits that this cosmic intruder, possibly eight times the mass of Jupiter, passed very close to…

Scientists have finally solved the long-standing mystery of the Sun turning blue in Earth’s atmosphere almost 200 years ago. A massive volcanic eruption in 1831 has been attributed as the reason for the colour change as massive plumes of sulfur dioxide were thrust into the atmosphere, causing global cooling and forcing our planet to play…

The European Space Agency’s (ESA) Proba-3 mission will be launched on ISRO’s Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle (PSLV) from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre on December 4. According to ESA, Proba-3 is the world’s first precision formation flying mission. “A pair of satellites will fly together, maintaining a fixed configuration as if they were a single…

Multiple X-class flares and CMEs have hit the Earth in the past few days, ISRO said. Bengaluru: A powerful solar storm impacted Earth in early May 2024, triggered by the highly active region AR13664 in the Sun, ISRO said on Tuesday. This region unleashed a series of X-class flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) directed…

The spacecraft will extensively study the solar winds. New Delhi: As the Chandrayaan-3 rover conducts experiments on the moon, scientists at the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) have set their eyes on their next target – the Sun. The Aditya-L1, India’s first space observatory for solar research, is getting ready for launch at the country’s…
