Mars Dust Devils May Spark Lightning, Might Pose Risks to Rovers: Study
A new computer-modeling study reveals that dust devils on Mars—swirling columns of dust and air—may become electrically charged enough to spark lightning-like discharges. Led by researcher Varun Sheel, the study simulates how dry Martian conditions and frictional collisions between dust grains can generate strong electric fields inside these vo...

Massive X-Class Solar Flare Erupts, Causing Widespread Pacific Radio Blackouts
A powerful X1.9-class solar flare from sunspot 4114 erupted on June 19, disrupting shortwave radio signals across the Pacific, including Hawaii. While it caused significant atmospheric ionisation, no coronal mass ejection (CME) followed. The event highlights rising solar activity and hints at more eruptions ahead, potentially impacting communicatio...

Energy Transition: How Coal Mines Could Go Solar
Disused coal mines could be refashioned to place vast fields of solar panels, a new report suggests, providing an unlikely solution to a common obstacle to uptake of the green energy source.

Student-Built Solar Racing Car 'Aagneya' Ready To Shine At World Challenge
Made of carbon fibre, the system taps solar energy and stores it in the 11 Mega Joules battery real time, so there would be no need for any external power.

NSF’s DKIST Captures Sharpest-Ever Images of Fine Solar Magnetic Striations
Using the NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, scientists have captured the most detailed views of the Sun’s surface ever recorded. The new observations reveal ultra-narrow magnetic striations only 20 kilometers wide, etched into solar granules. These light and dark bands reflect subtle variations in magnetic field strength. Researchers say ...

MAVEN Reveals How Mars Lost Its Atmosphere and Became a Barren World
NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft has provided the first direct evidence of "sputtering"—a powerful atmospheric escape process where solar wind particles blast atoms off Mars. The newly published study confirms that this process played a major role in the Red Planet’s transformation from a once-wet, habitable world to its current barren state. Argon ga...

Scientists Warn of Inadequate Solar Storm Forecasting: What You Need to Know
Scientists warn that Earth remains exposed to solar storms due to missing early data on its magnetic fields. Current satellites offer just minutes of warning, limiting our ability to protect power grids, satellites, and GPS systems. Without broader solar observation from multiple angles, a major storm could cause catastrophic disruptions, emphasisi...

Ancient 14,000-Year-Old Solar Storm Revealed as Strongest Ever Recorded in Earth’s History
A massive solar storm struck Earth 14,300 years ago, now confirmed as the most powerful ever recorded. Finnish scientists detected it through carbon-14 spikes in Ice Age tree rings. Over 500 times stronger than the 2003 Halloween Storm, this ancient event redefines solar risk and highlights the growing need to safeguard modern infrastructure agains...
