Something exploded behind the Sun. Venus is in the firing line

A mysterious explosion occurred behind the sun's southeastern limb on September 1, launching a significant coronal mass ejection into space. This marks the third CME to hit Venus in just a few days, gradually eroding the planet's cloudtops, which lack the protective magnetic field found on Earth. As it rotates toward Earth, scientists are closely monitoring its activity, though our …

Radio blackouts reported across the world after 'tsunami' of solar storms make impact - and NOAA warns more disturbances are to come

Daily Mail

Radio blackouts caused by a 'tsunami' of solar storms were reported across the globe on Thursday, and scientists say more disruptions are are on the way. The sun released at least 15 streams of plasma, or coronal mass ejections, in the last 24 hours that caused communications disturbances over parts of Africa and Asia when they impacted Earth. Parts of …

Solar storms could cause more auroras

Hindustan Times

Massive explosions on the Sun have triggered warnings of geomagnetic storms that could create dazzling auroras in the northern United States, Europe and southern Australia from Tuesday night. "We've seen several large coronal mass ejections plasma and other material from the sun's surface shooting out into space," Mike Bettwy, operations chief of the US-based Space Weather Prediction Center, told AFP …

The Auroras Should Be Spectacular This Summer, Thanks to Solar Maximum

Wired

Auroras filled much of the world’s skies for several nights in mid-May as a historic geomagnetic storm coursed 100 kilometers above our heads. Solar flares and coronal mass ejections, or CMEs, are more common during and just after solar maximum, and it’s these that are responsible for vivid auroras. The great aurora show on May 10, 2024, was the result …

Key to solar storms found? NASA’s Parker Solar Probe flew through a dangerous CME in quest of new insights

Hindustan Times

US space agency NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has been living dangerously ever since it started orbiting the Sun. A new clue has been found by NASA’s Parker Solar Probe about how solar storms form. The worst one recorded was the Carrington event in 1859 when one of the most powerful such solar storms actually set fire in telegraph offices and …

Multiple geomagnetic storms headed towards Earth, more radio blackouts expected

India Today

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued a geomagnetic storm watch for December 16 and 17, as a trio of coronal mass ejections are set to collide with Earth's magnetic field. According to the latest models, these CMEs, the most powerful eruptions from the Sun, are expected to merge into a single formidable storm front, striking simultaneously around 20:00 …

Two solar storms set to hit Earth tonight, expert cautions

India TV News

Scientists have issued a prediction that two significant solar storms will reach Earth on Friday at around 5:30 pm, potentially affecting our planet's magnetic field. However, there are concerns that in extreme cases and higher latitudes, the charged particles from the storms may disrupt power grids, communication infrastructure, and satellite operations, including the global positioning system. Two solar storms, also …

Cannibal eruption from Sun head towards Earth, set to hit planet today

India Today

Activity continues to pick up on the Sun as it reaches the peak of its solar cycle. Multiple Coronal Mass Ejections from the star are headed toward Earth, and the US-based Space Weather Prediction Center under the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has predicted that a cannibal eruption will hit the planet on Tuesday. The Cannibal eruption could affect radio …

Is the Sun getting quieter? New observations baffle Indian astronomers

India Today

Indian astronomers have observed a contradictory development on the Sun which has been comparatively quieter, even as it wakes up in a new solar cycle. Scientists at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics, Bengaluru have observed that the Coronal Mass Ejections from the Sun during the 2008-2019 period have significantly decreased in mass, size as well as the internal pressure of …

News 18

A paper by an Indian-origin researcher has warned of an “Internet apocalypse” caused by none other than our very own sun. According to US space agency Nasa, though they are “otherwise quite different”, solar flares and CMEs “both involve gigantic explosions of energy”. CMEs are defined as “huge bubbles of radiation and particles from the Sun” that are launched into …
