Unusual White Streaks in Northern Lights Raise Questions About Atmospheric Phenomenon

#news #newstoday #tech #technews #latestnews #techupdates #newsupdates Pale white streaks have been observed weaving through the northern lights, presenting a new atmospheric puzzle. These eerie glows have been captured alongside traditional red and green auroras, but experts suggest they are not auroras themselves. Instead, they may share similarities with the…

Solar Wind from Sun’s Large Coronal Hole Could Create Auroras This Weekend

Solar Wind from Sun’s Large Coronal Hole Could Create Auroras This Weekend

#news #newstoday #tech #technews #latestnews #techupdates #newsupdates A powerful stream of solar wind is expected to strike Earth this weekend due to a large coronal hole in the sun’s atmosphere, as per reports. This phenomenon could lead to striking auroral displays, particularly at higher latitudes. A smaller coronal hole adjacent…

Solar Cycle 25: How the Sun’s Peak Activity Will Impact Earth in 2025

#news #newstoday #tech #technews #latestnews #techupdates #newsupdates Solar activity is expected to maintain elevated levels throughout 2025, marking a significant phase in Solar Cycle 25. As this cycle continues to progress, heightened solar phenomena, including solar flares, coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and geomagnetic storms, are anticipated to impact various sectors….

Powerful Solar Storm Might Have Caused Widespread Auroras and Potential Disruptions, NOAA Says

Powerful Solar Storm Might Have Caused Widespread Auroras and Potential Disruptions, NOAA Says

On Thursday, a significant solar outburst impacted Earth, leading to a “severe” G4-class geomagnetic storm. This event, triggered by an enormous mass of charged particles ejected from the sun on October 8, has generated the potential for auroras to be visible much farther south than usual, possibly reaching areas like…

Severe Solar Storm Warning: NOAA Predicts Auroras Across US, Possible Power Grid Impact

Severe Solar Storm Warning: NOAA Predicts Auroras Across US, Possible Power Grid Impact

A powerful solar storm is predicted to reach Earth on Thursday, 10th October, according to forecasters from the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). The storm could generate stunning auroras and affect radio communications, power grids, and satellites. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Centre (SWPC) has issued a G4-class geomagnetic…

NASA Astronaut Records Timelapse of Red and Green Auroras From Space

NASA Astronaut Records Timelapse of Red and Green Auroras From Space

NASA astronaut Matthew Dominick recently shared a breathtaking timelapse video featuring vivid red and green auroras from space. The mesmerising footage was captured aboard the Dragon Endeavor spacecraft on 8 October, as it orbited the Earth. These natural light displays, known as auroras, occur due to solar activity interacting with…

X-Class Solar Flare Erupts on the Sun, Earth-Directed CME Might Have Been Released

X-Class Solar Flare Erupts on the Sun, Earth-Directed CME Might Have Been Released

This week, solar activity has been particularly intense, with the sun releasing powerful solar flares, including an X1.3-class flare on Thursday, September 12. The eruption, coming from an unnumbered sunspot, took place at 5:43 AM EDT (9:43 UTC). X-class flares, the strongest of its type, can cause disruptions in radio…

Researchers Reveal How Mars Has Discreet Auroras Without Presence of Global Magnetic Field

Researchers Reveal How Mars Has Discreet Auroras Without Presence of Global Magnetic Field

Auroras are natural light displays, forming dynamic patterns of brilliant lights in the Earth’s sky because of disturbances in the magnetosphere caused by the solar wind — jet of charged particles coming from the Sun. The magnetosphere is an area of space controlled by a planet’s magnetic field. Except Mercury,…
