That’s Hot: Check Out This Video of the Sun’s Corona in All Its Glory

Published by skeptic

Last month’s total solar eclipse wasn’t the only fun with the sun skygazers are enjoying this year. The European Science Agency has just dropped a hot new video of the sun’s corona, which is the upper layer of the sun’s atmosphere. The agency’s solar orbiter recorded the footage on Sept. 23, 2023, and the group has annotated the 30-second video to give viewers some context into what they’re looking at.  Just a few seconds in, you’ll get a glimpse of some coronal moss, a bright gas that makes lacy patterns across the sun. A few seconds later, the ESA points out spicules along the horizon — spires of gas that reach up through the sun’s chromosphere. These spires can reach heights of 10,000 kilometers, or approximately 6,200 miles. The video also captures what appears to be a small eruption at the 22-second mark. “Small” is relative, as the ESA notes that the eruption was larger than Earth.  Read more: How an Apple Watch Saved the Solar Eclipse for Me The clip ends with a glimpse …

Solar storms and Mars: Rare giant explosions on sun’s surface could help NASA find out how to live on Red Planet | Science & Tech News

Published by skeptic

NASA is preparing for an “unprecedented opportunity” to study how solar storms and radiation could affect future astronauts on Mars. The sun is entering a period of peak activity called solar maximum, which occurs roughly every 11 years. During this period, giant explosions erupt on the sun’s surface – including solar flares and coronal mass ejections. When a series of these solar events erupts, it’s called a solar storm, and these launch radiation deep into space. While we’re protected on Earth due to the planet’s magnetic field, Mars lost such defences long ago, leaving the Red Planet more vulnerable to the sun’s energetic particles.

Pic: NASA/Reuters Scientists still don’t know how badly solar storms will affect humans and robots on Mars in the future but they’re hoping to figure that out during these solar storms thanks to NASA’s MAVEN (Mars Atmosphere and Volatile EvolutioN) orbiter and the Curiosity rover. MAVEN, which entered the Red Planet’s orbit in 2014, observes radiation, solar particles and …

The Timberwolves are the undeniable alpha dogs through three games of this increasingly lopsided series.

Hugh Grant settles court case against The Sun’s publisher ‘for enormous sum of money’ | UK News

Published by Sam

Hugh Grant has settled a High Court claim against the publisher of The Sun newspaper after being offered an “enormous sum of money”. The actor, 63, was meant to have his claim of unlawful information gathering against The Sun considered in a High Court trial in January. Grant was suing News Group Newspapers (NGN) alongside Prince Harry for claims which included landline tapping, burglary and “blagging” confidential information about him. Grant posted on X to say he decided to settle to avoid an outcome where he would have to pay millions in legal costs. The actor said NGN claimed it was “entirely innocent of the things I had accused the Sun of doing – phone hacking, unlawful information gathering, landline tapping, the burglary of my flat and office, the bugging of my car, the illegal blagging of medical records, lies, perjury and the destruction of evidence”.

Suns eclipse Nuggets, Rockets silence Thunder

Suns eclipse Nuggets, Rockets silence Thunder

Published by skeptic

LOS ANGELES: Kevin Durant scored 30 points and grabbed 13 rebounds to lead the Phoenix Suns to a 104-97 victory over reigning NBA champions Denver on Wednesday (Mar 27) to keep things close at the top of the Western Conference. The Suns made 16 three-pointers and never trailed after the first quarter in Denver. Durant said it wasn’t a matter of making a statement, but of paying attention to detail in a demanding final playoff push. “I don’t know if you’re trying to show anybody anything,” Durant said. “I think (we’re) just trying to keep getting better … we’re just trying to play good ball.” Denver’s two-time NBA Most Valuable Player Nikola Jokic, playing with a sore back and hip, scored 22 points with nine rebounds and 10 assists. But the Nuggets clearly felt the absence of point guard Jamal Murray, who missed a third straight game with a sprained left ankle. It was just their third defeat in their 18 games since the All-Star break, but left them just one half-game ahead of Oklahoma City …

Cavaliers comeback stuns Celtics, Suns hold off Nuggets

LOS ANGELES: The Cleveland Cavaliers overturned a 22-point fourth-quarter deficit to snap the Boston Celtics’ 11-game winning streak with a 105-104 victory on Tuesday (Mar 6). A week after coming back from 10 points down in the fourth quarter to defeat Dallas, Cleveland conjured an even more remarkable late show to stun Boston, the Eastern Conference leaders. Boston looked to be cruising to a 12th straight win after a clinical display left them leading 93-71 early in the fourth quarter in Cleveland. But Dean Wade erupted for 20 points in the final frame, draining a string of three-pointers to haul Cleveland back into the contest. Wade, who finished with 23 points, made the winning layup with 19 seconds remaining to put Cleveland ahead after Kristaps Porzingis’s free throw had helped the Celtics take a 104-103 lead. Boston thought they had been thrown a lifeline when Jayson Tatum appeared to be fouled as he went for a late shot. But the call was overturned in Cleveland’s favor and time ran out to give the Cavaliers a victory …
