Can Your Old Burns Transform Into Cancer? Here's What You Should Know
Most old burns never become cancer. However, large, deep and long-standing scars with additional damage, trauma and sun exposure carry the risk of transforming into Marjolin's ulcer.

High UV Index In Kerala: What Is It And How To Keep Yourself Protected?
UV index is a number on a scale of 1-11+, which tells you the intensity of the UV rays at any given time of the day. When the UV index is between 8-10, it is very high exposure (red) and UV index more than 11 is extreme exposure (violet).

Umbrella vs Sunglasses: What Provides Best Relief During Summer Daytime?
With heatwaves and extreme UV levels rising across India, sun protection is crucial. But what works better, umbrellas or sunglasses? Experts say both serve different roles, and relying on just one may not be enough.

Strongest Solar Flare of 2025 Sends High-Energy Radiation Rushing Toward Earth
A powerful X5.1 solar flare on November 11, 2025, sent high-speed protons toward Earth, producing the strongest radiation spike detected in nearly two decades. The event caused a rare ground-level enhancement, briefly raising radiation at flight altitude to ten times normal. While not dangerous this time, scientists warn larger flares could threate...

Sun Unleashes Strongest Flare of 2025, Causing Global Radio Blackouts
On Nov. 11, 2025, the Sun erupted with an X5.1-class flare, disrupting shortwave communications across Africa and Europe. The flare’s X-rays and UV radiation ionized Earth’s upper atmosphere, causing R3-level radio blackouts. NOAA warned that a coronal mass ejection could reach Earth on Nov. 12, potentially triggering strong geomagnetic storms ...

A Better Metric Might Assess The Habitability of Exoplanets: What You Need to Know
The new three-parameter metric has been introduced by researchers based in England, where this metric will likely be successful in assessing the habitability.

Sun Erupts with Triple Solar Flares After Weeks of Silence
After a 22-day period of solar calm, the Sun unleashed three M-class solar flares on August 3–4, 2025, all originating from active sunspot region AR 4168. These moderate flares released intense radiation, capable of briefly disrupting high-frequency radio signals and potentially sparking auroras at high latitudes. Scientists also detected likel...

James Webb Telescope Spots Planet Formation in Harshest Known Galactic Environments
The James Webb Space Telescope has revealed that planets can form in extreme radiation zones. A protoplanetary disk called XUE 1, exposed to intense ultraviolet light, still shows signs of water and potential for rocky planet formation. The findings challenge old assumptions and broaden the possible regions where Earth-like planets may emerge.

Evidence of Massive Solar Storm Strike on Earth 2,700 Years Ago Discovered in Tree Rings
Researchers from the University of Arizona have uncovered evidence of a powerful solar storm that occurred between 664 and 663 BCE, known as a Miyake Event. The discovery was made by analysing radiocarbon spikes in ancient tree rings, which act as natural records of past solar activity. These rare events, first identified in 2012, occur when solar ...
