Rare 'space jellyfish' phenomenon spotted over Hanover: What is it?
2+ week, 5+ day ago (313+ words) Early risers in York and Adams counties were among those who awoke to witness the unique spectacle of a 'space jellyfish' in the sky following a rocket launch in Florida on Tuesday morning. A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket, launched from the…...
Could solar flares ground flights? The aviation risk explained
3+ week, 6+ day ago (881+ words) New research led by the University of Surrey has examined what happens when unusually powerful bursts of energetic particles from the Sun reach the atmosphere. Scientists warn space weather poses a greater risk to aviation than current procedures fully account…...
How the 'space jellyfish' phenomenon lights up the night sky and why it happens
1+ mon, 5+ day ago (316+ words) A video shared from the United Kingdom on Monday, March 24, showed a blue spiral in the night sky after a SpaceX rocket launch from Florida. Most people hear the term "space jellyfish" and assume it probably has something to do…...
Are the Southern Lights as Cool as the Northern Lights?
1+ mon, 1+ week ago (527+ words) Southern lights are natural light displays that appear at high southern latitudes and can show green, red, blue and violet light. Also known as the aurora australis, these colorful displays occur when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's…...
An Extreme Solar Storm May Be Even More Devastating Than Previously Imagined
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (198+ words) “Our planet’s magnetic field does a really great job of protecting us against many space weather effects and so they often just show up as glitches or beautiful aurora,” notes Maria Walach, a researcher at Lancaster University who collaborated on…...
On 1 September 1859 a solar storm hit Earth hard enough that auroras were seen over Cuba, and telegraph operators in Boston disconnected their batteries and kept sending messages for two hours on the current the sky was pushing through the wires.
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (642+ words) The date in the familiar Carrington Event story needs one adjustment. On 1 September 1859, the English astronomers Richard Carrington and Richard Hodgson...
In 1859, a solar storm now called the Carrington Event induced currents so strong in telegraph lines that operators disconnected their batteries and kept sending messages powered by the aurora alone, with sparks jumping from the keys to their fingers
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (868+ words) On September 2, 1859, the largest geomagnetic storm ever recorded induced currents so powerful in telegraph lines that operators across North America disconnected their batteries and kept working — powered entirely by the aurora — while sparks leapt from keys to their fingers. By…...
Mars Has Its Own Tiny Aurora Engine—And It Works Surprisingly Like Earth's
1+ mon, 2+ week ago (412+ words) Mars may not have a strong global magnetic field like Earth, but scientists have discovered that it still creates glowing auroras using a surprisingly familiar process. A new study published in Nature Communications shows that Mars has a miniature version…...
