Solar eruptions send shock waves through space; 3D models created by NASA satellites map trajectory

Recently released three-dimensional models of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) give us a much better idea of the process behind these solar eruptions. From the viewpoints of NASA satellites, massive shock waves can be seen rippling out from the Sun, according to an article on Space.com. CMEs are tremendous expulsions of plasma and charged particles from […]

Mysterious magnetized waves ripple across the Earth and the Sun, influencing Earth weather

A recent study funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA revealed mysterious waves, otherwise known as Rossby waves, were observed on the Sun’s atmosphere, which may provide insight on a broad range of solar phenomena such as sun spot formation, solar flare eruption, and active region formations. “The discovery of Rossby-like waves on […]
