Three satellites are launching aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 to study space weather and its effects on Earth. This mission aims to improve astronaut safety and enhance our understanding of solar activity.
Unexpectedly, the sun has ramped up its activity since 2008, leading to fears of severe solar storms that could disrupt communications and power grids. Scientists are scrambling to understand this sudden change.
A new NASA study reveals that the Sun has unexpectedly surged in activity since 2008, reversing a long-term trend of decline. This increase could lead to more frequent space weather events, affecting everything from satellites to power grids.
As data centers proliferate, U.S. policymakers face a dilemma: how to protect electricity grids from overwhelming demand. Texas leads the charge in proposing new regulations to manage energy use during emergencies, igniting a national debate.
Scientists warn a geomagnetic storm could hit Earth on May 16 due to a massive solar eruption. Learn how this cosmic event might disrupt GPS and power grids, while creating stunning auroras!
