science Earth experienced its most powerful geomagnetic storm in two decades over Mother's Day weekend in May 2024. Space physicists from the University of Iowa detailed the event, which involved 10 coronal mass ejections from the sun. These eruptions occurred over four days during solar maximum, leading to a massive magnetic cloud. This supercharged cloud collided with Earth's magnetosphere, causing intense auroras visible globally. The research helps scientists predict future solar outbursts for better space weather forecasting. π
science The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope observed countless Kelvin-Helmholtz instabilities on the sun's surface for the first time. This finding was made by international researchers using the telescope located atop HaleakalΔ on Maui, Hawaii. Observations confirmed these vortices, with spacing between 50-65 km, and were published in Nature on August 5, 2026. These vortices are thought to be a steady driving force that twists magnetic fields, helping explain solar flares and CMEs. The team plans to use pattern recognition to improve space weather prediction accuracy.
