Vernal Equinox 2025: Date, Time, and the Science Behind the Event
- Friday March 7, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
The vernal equinox 2025 is set for March 20 at 09:01 UTC, marking the astronomical start of spring in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn in the Southern Hemisphere. This event occurs due to Earth’s axial tilt aligning with its orbit, resulting in nearly equal hours of daylight and night across the globe. While the equinox does not bring perfectly...

Study Finds Coronal Loop Flickers Could Predict Solar Flares Hours in Advance
- Friday January 17, 2025
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory has revealed a potential breakthrough in predicting solar flares. Scientists observed brightness fluctuations in coronal loops—plasma structures in the Sun's atmosphere—that intensify hours before solar flares occur. This discovery, with a prediction accuracy of 60–80%, may provide 2–6 hours of advance warn...

Solar 'Battle Zone' Could be Even Worse Than Solar Maximum, Experts Warn
- Friday December 6, 2024
- Written by Gadgets 360 Staff
Experts warn that the sun's next phase, the "battle zone," could result in increased geomagnetic activity, lasting until 2028. This period could bring heightened solar flares and coronal holes, which may cause disruptions to satellites in low-Earth orbit. Space weather experts, including Scott McIntosh from Lynker Space, have noted that this phase ...
