Biggest solar flare in years temporarily disrupts radio signals on Earth🌏

 In a spectacular celestial event, NASA's telescope recently caught the sun unleashing its most massive solar flare since 2017, causing a temporary disruption in radio communication across Earth. The unexpected radio burst lasted for two hours, impacting parts of the U.S. and other sunlit regions around the globe. This extraordinary solar phenomenon has astounded scientists and raised the possibility of an enormous solar storm heading our way.


  • Unveiling the Solar Fury: NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the colossal solar flare in extreme ultraviolet light, showcasing a dazzling solar energy display. The eruption, originating from the far northwest section of the sun, has been deemed one of the most significant solar radio events ever recorded.
  • Radio Chaos on Earth: The powerful solar flare led to a massive radio burst that disrupted communication for two hours, affecting the U.S. and various sunlit regions globally. Pilots reported communication disruptions, highlighting the far-reaching impact of this solar spectacle.

  • The Scale of the Event: National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Scientists emphasized that this solar flare was the largest since 2017. The radio burst was extensive, affecting higher frequencies, making it a rare and noteworthy cosmic occurrence.
  • Solar Storm Watch: Intensifying the intrigue, scientists closely monitor the sunspot region for potential plasma outbursts known as coronal mass ejections. If directed toward Earth, these outbursts could trigger a geomagnetic storm, disrupting high-frequency radio signals and illuminating the skies with northern lights or auroras in the coming days.
As the sun approaches the peak of its 11-year solar cycle, this recent solar flare is a captivating preview of the increased solar activity expected in the coming years. With maximum sunspot activity predicted for 2025, astronomers and space enthusiasts eagerly anticipate more breathtaking displays from our closest star.

India's Lunar Rover Finds Evidence of the Moon's Ancient Magma Ocean

Image
  In a breakthrough discovery, India's lunar rover " Pragyan " has unveiled evidence of the Moon's ancient global magma ocean . The findings, published in Nature by an Indian research team, mark the first-ever measurements from the Moon's polar highlands , broadening our understanding of the Moon's early history. The Pragyan rover’s wheels penetrated several centimeters into the lunar soil, allowing the rover’s APXS instrument to analyze the composition of the lunar regolith below the top surface layer. Credit: ISRO Around 4.5 billion years ago, a cataclysmic collision in the early solar system led to the formation of the Moon, which was once covered by a vast ocean of molten magma. This theory gained more robust backing after Pragyan's investigation of the rocks at the Vikram lander's site, now named "Point Shiv Shakti," located near the Moon's south pole. The rover analyzed samples using an Alpha Particle X-ray spectrometer (APXS),...
