On July 15, a solar filament erupted from the Sun’s upper left side, ejecting a powerful blast of plasma and magnetic fields into space. The resulting explosion was so massive that it seared a deep, fiery scar of hot plasma and debris onto the star’s visible surface. While filament eruptions aren’t uncommon, astronomers had already been watching an unusually large …

New research has uncovered a fascinating link between volcanic eruptions and mysterious structures deep within Earth’s interior, challenging long-standing assumptions about the planet’s lower mantle. These structures, known as “BLOBS,” may be the key to understanding some of the most catastrophic volcanic events in Earth’s history. Are Earth’s Deep Secrets Triggering Doomsday Eruptions? Volcanic eruptions can have devastating effects, ranging …

On July 15, a colossal filament erupted from the sun’s northeastern limb, dramatically reshaping part of our star’s surface, albeit briefly, and unleashing a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space. The outburst was so powerful that it carved a glowing trench of hot plasma more than 250,000 miles (about 400,000 kilometers) long, roughly the distance from Earth to the moon. …
