New Delhi, June 24, 2023: Scientists tracking the continuous evolution of the energy state of the core of a solar eruption that occurred on July 20, 2017, have found it strangely maintained a constant temperature as it erupted energetic and highly magnetised plasma from the solar corona into space. The finding can improve our understanding […]

Interaction between Coronal Mass Ejections plays a key role in their evolution
New Delhi, April 03, 2022: A team of astronomers have found that interactions between two different Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) in the interplanetary medium as they travel towards the Earth play a key role in their evolution. Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and flares are the largest eruptive phenomena in our solar system. Flares are characterized by […]
A simple image-processing technique to unravel the dynamics of Solar Corona can help detect Coronal Mass Ejections better
New Delhi, March 17, 2022: Indian researchers have developed a simple technique of separating the constant background of the Solar Colona and revealing the dynamic corona. The simple approach of subtracting the constant background can improve efficiency of identification of Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) — events in which a large cloud of energetic and highly magnetized […]
Sun: Smaller solar storms in the last decade baffles scientists
New Delhi, December 21, 2021: The Sun, an explosive celestial object, has been much quieter between 2008 and 2019 than it was between 1996 and 2007, and scientists have quantified that radial size of its Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) are two-thirds the radial size of CMEs in the last decade. There has been a significant […]
