On Feb. 22, 2024, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory recorded a solar flare, vividly depicted by a bright flash in the upper left of the Sun. This image, showcasing extreme ultraviolet light in bronze hues, focuses on the exceptionally hot material within flares.


On February 22, 2024, the Sun unleashed a potent solar flare, reaching its peak at 5:34 p.m. EST. The Solar Dynamics Observatory, a vigilant observer of the Sun, swiftly recorded this celestial event, providing a image of the solar flare.


Solar flares, intense bursts of energy from the Sun, have the potential to influence various aspects of our technological infrastructure.These powerful phenomena can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and even pose risks to spacecraft and astronauts in space. The study and understanding of solar flares play a crucial role in mitigating potential adverse effects on both Earth and space-based systems.


For insights into how space weather, including solar flares, might impact Earth, you can explore NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center at https://spaceweather.gov/. As the official U.S. government source for space weather forecasts, watches, warnings, and alerts, it offers valuable information.


NASA, functioning as a vital research component of the nation's space weather effort, maintains a constant vigil on the Sun and our space environment.Utilizing a fleet of spacecraft, NASA conducts extensive studies ranging from solar activity to the solar atmosphere, providing a comprehensive understanding of particles and magnetic fields in the space surrounding Earth.

In the triple-star system, KOI-5Ab is seen orbiting the primary star...

By Surendra Uikey
  KOI-5Ab continues to be a topic of discussion for researchers, as koi-5Ab has been seen orbiting the primary Star, confirming it has also been announced.  koi-5ab revolves around the primary star, it was thought to be a planet half the size of Saturn in a planetary system, and was the only other planet candidate to be detected by the KOI-5Ab mission. Kepler mission operations were initiated by NASA in 2009, by the end of spacecraft operations in 2018, the Kepler spacecraft had discovered 2,394 exoplanets, or planets orbiting stars beyond our sun, and about 2,366 exoplanets such  There are also those, which are still to be confirmed. David Ciardi, chief scientist at NASA's Exoplanet Science Institute, says the KOI-5AB was abandoned, because it was complicated, and we had thousands of candidates, and we were learning something new every day from Kepler, so that the KOI  Mostly forgot to -5. KOI-5Ab is part of the Triple Star system, where KOI-5 is a group of three st...

NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope will be closed.

By Surendra Uikey
NASA briefly informed that the Spitzer Space Telescope will be permanently discontinued on January 30, 2020. After about 16 years of discovering the universe in light energy.  And by that time, the space shuttle has been working for more than 11 years beyond its prime mission, Spitzer examines the universe's various objects in infrared light.  It was in 2003 through the rocket that the American Space Research Organization NASA entered the space and entered the orbit around the Earth.  Spitzer rotates the sun on a path similar to that of the Earth but it runs a bit slower.  Today it is about 158 ​​million miles (254 million kilometers) away from our planet - more than 600 times the distance between Earth and Moon.  The spacing of Spitzer's orbit curve means that when the spacecraft indicates its fixed antenna on the earth to download data or receive commands, its solar panels tend to lean away from the sun.  During those periods, to operate the space shut...

SpaceX is launching its next dragon spacecraft.

By Surendra Uikey
SpaceX is preparing for its next mission, very soon Spacex will launch the Dragon Spacecraft with its Falcon 9 Rocket.   SpaceX is the 18th commercial reproduction service mission, dragon spacecraft will be loaded with dozens of experiments made in space.  Launch date: Sunday, July 21, 2019 at 7:35 pm  International Space Station (ISS) us  The National Laboratory SpaceX's dragon is giving a finalization to more than two dozen payloads for launch in a circular circular laboratory.  Many of these payloads are aimed at improving human health on the earth, many of which are focused on drug development.  In addition, a series of payloads from identified private sector partners will be launched on this mission.  More than 40 student experiments and demonstrations have been included on the 18th Commercial Recepti Services Mission (CRS-18) of SpaceX.  One part of ISS American National Laboratory's goal is to encourage and engage next generation scientists.                          ...
