Solar telescope captures flare rich sunspot region in fine detail
Thursday, 04 December 2025 07:44
Scientists using the GREGOR solar telescope in Tenerife have obtained a rare series of high resolution observations of the active region NOAA 14274, a sunspot group that generated two X class solar flares and several fast coronal mass ejections in November 2025. The team followed the evolution of the Suns most flare productive region of the year and linked the eruptions to auroras seen on Earth Beijing space lab targets orbital data centers for AI era

Thursday, 04 December 2025 07:44
Electric discharges have been detected inside dust devils and dust storms on Mars for the first time, using sound recordings from the SuperCam microphone on NASAs Perseverance rover. Scientists from CNRS, Universite de Toulouse and Observatoire de Paris PSL analysed these signals and identified them as the acoustic and electromagnetic signatures of electrical activity within Martian dust events.
