Sun spits out solar flare so terrifying it is comparable to a billion bombs

With the equinox approaching on September 23, solar activities have picked up again. It is known that during this period, the Earth suffered due to a higher frequency of extreme solar activities due to the magnetic poles of the Earth making a right angle with the Sun. And in the last 24 hours, the Earth has witnessed some intense blows from the Sun. There have been instances of radio blackouts, solar flare eruptions, CME releases, and a possible solar storm that can strike the Earth at any given time. So, let us take a look at what has happened in this brief period and how it affects us.

After an unexpected solar storm event in the late night of September 2, that extended well into the morning of September 3, many scientists believe that such solar activities will now continue to increase till the equinox on September 23. During equinoxes, the Earth's magnetic poles (north and south) are at right angles to the solar wind. This makes the solar wind stronger, which can cause stronger magnetic storms. To increase the troubles, a new sunspot, AR3421, has also emerged directly in view of the Earth. The sunspot contains a mixed polarity magnetic field that can often create powerful solar flare eruptions. In case a large enough coronal mass ejection (CME) is released during the event, it can trigger a destructive solar storm.,

Samsung Electronics is set to deliver 1TB of DDR5 memory in a single module thanks to a breakthrough in DRAM manufacturing.

The Aditya-L1 spacecraft was finally launched today, September 2, 2023, at 11.50 AM from the Satish Dhawan Space Centre SHAR (SDSC-SHAR), Sriharikota. The spacecraft is now in good condition and is on its way towards the Sun-Earth system of Lagrange point (L1). The planned location is over 1.5 million km from the Earth and it will take about 125 days to reach the halo orbit. Know how the spacecraft will move towards the Sun.

The day has finally come! Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) is prepared to launch the next space-based mission, Aditya-L1 today, September 2, 2023, at 11.50 AM. After a successful moon mission, the space agency is ready to contribute towards the unfolding of the Sun's environment. Recently, in an interview, former ISRO scientist, Tapan Misra said about the mission that studying our Sun's solar flares and the solar wind is essential to understanding how they affect the weather. Know more about the mission's objectives as per ISRO scientist:

As we approach the solar maximum, the Sun's output is expected to increase in the coming months. As per NASA, the solar minimum occurred in 2019, which also marked the start of the solar maximum, a period where we could see the greatest number of sunspots. It is expected to peak in 2025 and the Sun could unleash CMEs, solar flares, solar storms, and other particles towards Earth with potentially disastrous consequences. Astonishingly, experts have revealed that the Sun has already exceeded the predicted number of sunspots that were expected in the current solar maximum.

Samsung is making waves with its upcoming smart ring, which is set to revolutionise wearable technology with its unique features and capabilities.

Genshin Impact will be celebrating its introduction of Fontaine with a look back at the music that pulled so many fans into the anime game in the first place, but, unfortunately, tickets have been as difficult to obtain as you’d expect. The Genshin Impact concert tour is set to hit a list of cities around the world, but tickets sold out in mere minutes for the locations that opened up ticket sales.

Samsung has been one of the pioneers when it comes to the development of Android smartphones in the last few years. Its devices, especially the high-end options, have raised the bar for the next generation of smartphones. Its standout offerings in the last few years have been the Galaxy Z Fold and Flip, which have touched upon the nostalgia of the Moto Razr days and enhanced the usability of foldable smartphones. But if reports are to be believed, a Samsung smartphone that is tipped to roll out in 2025 could blow away even its high-end foldables.

2023 has been a good year so far for Samsung, as new devices have earned praise from users. In February, the South Korean giant launched its flagship S23 series, including the top-end Galaxy S23 Ultra, which has again been termed as the best Android smartphone for 2023. The company unveiled its foldables - the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Flip 5 last month, and while they aren't very big upgrades, they offer quality-of-life improvements over their predecessors. There have been rumours about the launch of another Samsung smartphone - the Galaxy S23 FE, although the timeline around it wasn't confirmed.

After yesterday's success of the Chandrayaan-3 mission, the excitement in the astronomy community is at an all-time high. Many are already wondering about other new achievements India and the world can unlock. And among the huge bucket list of ideas about space exploration, one thing has always remained on top - a manned mission to Mars could pave the way for building a colony on the red planet. However, a NASA scientist has warned us that this dream may just not be possible in the near future with the current technology that we have. Why? It's because the radiation from solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CME) will kill us long before we ever reach Mars.
