A viral claim is circulating on social media platforms that the whole world will go dark for six minutes on the upcoming August 2, 2025. Some posts even claim that this event won’t happen again for 100 years. Denying all rumours, experts say the claim is not true and that there will be no blackout on August 2, 2025. Instead, …

IN A NUTSHELL 🌌 Researchers have developed a new method using soft X-rays to measure the reconnection rate of solar wind energy into Earth’s magnetosphere. 🔬 The team used Japan’s Fugaku supercomputer to simulate coronal mass ejections and analyzed V-shaped X-ray emissions from a Moon-distance perspective. 🌎 This approach bridges the gap between local observations and global reconnection rates, offering …

High above our planet, where the magnetosphere meets the emptiness of space, a powerful battle unfolds. Streams of charged particles from the solar wind constantly race toward Earth, only to be deflected by our planet’s magnetic shield. This invisible barrier safeguards satellites, GPS systems, and astronauts from harmful radiation. Yet, this defense is not impenetrable. When magnetic field lines snap …

In June 2025, data from NASA’s Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 confirmed a dramatic finding: a region at the edge of the heliosphere with temperatures between 30,000 and 50,000 kelvin. Often described as a “wall of fire,” this boundary—known as the heliopause—marks where the Sun’s solar wind collides with the interstellar medium. The discovery provides an unprecedented look at the …

Is there a massive undiscovered planet on the outer reaches of the Solar System? The idea has been around since before the discovery of Pluto in the 1930s. Labelled as planet X, prominent astronomers had put it forward as an explanation for Uranus’s orbit, which drifts from the path of orbital motion that physics would expect it to follow. The …

Solar Eclipse Rumors NASA Clarification is available. When will the next total solar eclipse happen, on August 2, 2025 or 2027? See the truth. A viral message has sparked fear and curiosity online, claiming the world will go dark on August 2, 2025, due to a total solar eclipse. Many posts suggest this rare event won’t repeat for a century. …

Amid growing buzz on social media about a “global blackout” tied to a total solar eclipse on August 2, 2025, astronomers have clarified that the much-anticipated celestial event will in fact occur on August 2, 2027, when the Moon will briefly plunge parts of Earth into darkness during what experts call the longest total solar eclipse of the 21st century. …

As the year moves forward, curiosity is building around the last solar eclipse of 2025. Like always, these celestial events attract attention from both scientists and skywatchers– and this one’s no exception. From researchers to those who follow age-old beliefs, many are eager to know what to expect from the second and final solar eclipse of the year.Here’s everything we …

Now, del Chiaro said, consumers are more likely to say: “‘I’m just going to install my own system, hang it on my own balcony and PG&E never needs to know.’” Californians, struggling with soaring electricity bills, are eager to adopt the technology. Advocates believe the state’s market has massive potential. They’re motivated by two examples: Utah, which recently passed legislation …

Nearly a month ago, a mysterious object was seen hurtling through the solar system and later confirmed as an interstellar visitor traveling toward the Sun. Several telescopes have since turned their attention to the wandering object, but it turns out the brand-new Vera C. Rubin Observatory was the first to catch a glimpse of 3I/ATLAS. In an act of cosmic …
