Energy Transition: How Coal Mines Could Go Solar
Disused coal mines could be refashioned to place vast fields of solar panels, a new report suggests, providing an unlikely solution to a common obstacle to uptake of the green energy source.

Student-Built Solar Racing Car 'Aagneya' Ready To Shine At World Challenge
Made of carbon fibre, the system taps solar energy and stores it in the 11 Mega Joules battery real time, so there would be no need for any external power.

NSF’s DKIST Captures Sharpest-Ever Images of Fine Solar Magnetic Striations
Using the NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, scientists have captured the most detailed views of the Sun’s surface ever recorded. The new observations reveal ultra-narrow magnetic striations only 20 kilometers wide, etched into solar granules. These light and dark bands reflect subtle variations in magnetic field strength. Researchers say ...

MAVEN Reveals How Mars Lost Its Atmosphere and Became a Barren World
NASA’s MAVEN spacecraft has provided the first direct evidence of "sputtering"—a powerful atmospheric escape process where solar wind particles blast atoms off Mars. The newly published study confirms that this process played a major role in the Red Planet’s transformation from a once-wet, habitable world to its current barren state. Argon ga...

Scientists Warn of Inadequate Solar Storm Forecasting: What You Need to Know
Scientists warn that Earth remains exposed to solar storms due to missing early data on its magnetic fields. Current satellites offer just minutes of warning, limiting our ability to protect power grids, satellites, and GPS systems. Without broader solar observation from multiple angles, a major storm could cause catastrophic disruptions, emphasisi...

Ancient 14,000-Year-Old Solar Storm Revealed as Strongest Ever Recorded in Earth’s History
A massive solar storm struck Earth 14,300 years ago, now confirmed as the most powerful ever recorded. Finnish scientists detected it through carbon-14 spikes in Ice Age tree rings. Over 500 times stronger than the 2003 Halloween Storm, this ancient event redefines solar risk and highlights the growing need to safeguard modern infrastructure agains...

Sun Unleash a 600,000-Mile Filament in Fiery Eruption
A spectacular 600,000-mile-long solar filament erupted off the sun’s surface in a fiery blast captured on video. While the resulting CME will miss Earth, experts are watching closely as solar activity ramps up toward Solar Cycle 25’s peak. The event underscores the sun’s ongoing volatility and potential for more powerful outbursts ahead.

NASA’s McClain, Ayers Wrap Up All-Female Spacewalk to Power Up ISS
On May 1, NASA astronauts Anne McClain and Nichole Ayers carried out the fifth all-female spacewalk, working for nearly six hours outside the ISS. They assembled hardware for upcoming solar arrays and relocated an antenna used by Cygnus cargo ships. The EVA sets the stage for a 30% power boost to the station. While some tasks were postponed due to ...
