Intense Solar Activity Is Bringing the Northern Lights To the United States

09.27.2020 23:08 PM

Solar activity, particularly due to the new solar cycle, is causing intense movement in Earth's atmosphere. This means that the Northern Lights will be visible south of Canada, in states such as Minnesota, Iowa, and Michigan.

Cometary Aurora May Provide Clues on Solar Wind & Space Weather

09.22.2020 07:40 AM

Aurora or the northern lights have been confirmed on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko but is unlike Earth's light show. The invisible aurora, triggered by solar particles, may provide more information on how solar wind affects space weather.

Earth is Hit by Solar Winds that are Hotter Than They Should be, and Here's Why

04.20.2020 04:31 AM

Unravelling the mystery of why the solar wind hitting Earth is hotter than it should be. Earth is commonly bombarded by solar winds coming from the Sun, but the problem with this is that the solar winds that reach our planet are hotter than they should be.

Physicists Copy Some Properties of the Sun in a Ball

08.01.2019 10:30 AM

Plasma physicists copy the solar wind from the sun in a 3-meter diameter aluminum ball. In 1958, solar physicist Eugene Parker predicted the existence of the solar wind, which is a constant stream of charged particles ejected by the sun from its corona.
