U.S. renewable energy production reached record amounts in 2024, producing 24% of U.S. electricity, an annual update on sustainable energy finds.
This week, a solar storm caused large explosions of solar plasma and magnetic energy from the surface of the sun into space — an event known as a coronal mass ejection.
The good news is that Earth should be out of the line of fire this time because the flare erupted on a part of the sun moving away from Earth. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the bright ...
The aurora is expected to be bright and visible in multiple northern U.S. states Oct. 3 through Oct. 5 as well as from the lower Midwest to Oregon.
The finding that solar activity was approximately the same in cycles 14 and 24 applies to all solar outputs that have, in the past, been proposed as a potential cause of terrestrial climate change and includes total solar irradiance, cosmic ray fluxes, spectral UV irradiance, solar wind speed and/or density, heliospheric magnetic field and its ...
The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) is a NASA mission which has been observing the Sun since 2010. [4] Launched on 11 February 2010, the observatory is part of the Living With a Star (LWS) program. [ 5 ]
Solar energetic particles (SEP), formerly known as solar cosmic rays, are high-energy, charged particles originating in the solar atmosphere and solar wind. They consist of protons , electrons and heavy ions with energies ranging from a few tens of keV to many GeV .
The incoming solar storm arose from a strong flare near “Region 3500” on the Sun, scientists say. Solar storms are known to interfere with the Earth’s magnetic field and cause damages to ...
