School Students Identified Sounds from a Solar Storm in the Earth’s Magnetic Shield

School Students Identified Sounds from a Solar Storm in the Earth’s Magnetic Shield

A researcher of the Queen Mary University of London made some dramatic increments to the speed of the playback of the ultra-low frequencies to make them audible. Earth is under continuous bombardment from charged particles, who travel all the way from the Sun to the atmosphere of our planet. Most of the light seen at…

Solar Eruptions are Not Slinky in Shape

A recent study raises some considerable questions about the shape of solar eruptions. Elizabeth A. Jensen, a PSI Associate Research Scientist and her team used the Green Bank Observatory in West Virginia to observe radio signals from the MESSENGER spacecraft. They discovered secondary trailing impacts that accompany solar eruptions that cause communication disruptions and electrical…

Oil Production Emissions are a Serious Threat to the Environment

Oil Production Emissions are a Serious Threat to the Environment

Flaring must be controlled globally if we want to ensure a reduction in the oil production emissions. Controlling the ever-increasing pollution is extremely important not only for our health but also for the existence of our species. The combustion of fossil fuels, like gas and oil, is a major source of the greenhouse gases, which…

Brand new Weather Satellite of NOAA is going blind

Brand new Weather Satellite of NOAA is going blind

A multi-billion dollar weather satellite, GOES-17, works only 12 hours a day as non-favorable temperature affects the performance of its ABI. Weather Satellites see a lot more than clouds like sandstorms, auroras, effects of pollution, and boundaries of ocean currents. These satellites can be Geostationary or Polar Orbiting but the basic goal of both of…
