On May 10, the Sun emitted a strong solar flare.

On May 10, 2024, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory unveiled a stunning image of a solar flare, showcasing intense bursts of extreme ultraviolet light, depicted in golden hues.


In the early hours of May 10, 2024, at 2:54 a.m. ET, the Sun unleashed a powerful solar flare, captivating astronomers and space enthusiasts worldwide. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, dedicated to monitoring our star, seized a stunning image of the dramatic event.


This solar flare, ranked as an X3.9 flare, represents a significant eruption of energy from the Sun's surface. Classified as X-class, denoting the most intense flares, and with the number indicating its strength, this event underscores the Sun's dynamic nature.


Solar flares and eruptions possess the potential to disrupt various technologies and systems on Earth. From impacting radio communications and electric power grids to posing risks to navigation signals and spacecraft, the ramifications are far-reaching.


To assess the potential effects of such space weather on our planet, individuals are encouraged to visit the NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center. As the official source for space weather forecasts, watches, warnings, and alerts, NOAA plays a crucial role in safeguarding against solar disturbances.


Furthermore, NASA stands at the forefront of research into space weather phenomena. Through a network of spacecraft dedicated to monitoring the Sun and our space environment, NASA contributes invaluable data to enhance our understanding of solar activity and its implications for Earth.


As humanity continues to explore the cosmos and rely on technology for everyday life, events such as this solar flare serve as a reminder of the dynamic relationship between Earth and its celestial neighbors.

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

  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.

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.

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.                          ...
