For the first time, scientists have modeled the entire life cycle of solar flares, those violent eruptions of intense heat and radiation from the surface of the sun. The new computer model is part of ...

A viral video shows how much of the sun will be obscured by the moon in the upcoming total solar eclipse in parts of the U.S. outside the path of totality, including how the celestial occurrence will ...

To keep a solar-powered HAPS flying continuously, its power generation must exceed its consumption. While predicting the power consumption of the motors is straightforward, predicting the power ...

Lumartix, a Swiss company specializing in plasma light engine technology, has developed a solar simulator to perform characterization, aging and stabilization tests, with additional light-soaking and ...

NASA’s CGS releases the MAGE model to improve space weather prediction, providing simulations of solar storms, auroras, and their impacts on Earth and space missions.

Australia's Gridcog has revealed that solar fences – effectively, bifacial panels oriented east and west at 90-degree tilt angles – demonstrate promising yield and revenue potential, based on ...

New research from IBM and NASA has used AI to power a new and improved simulation of the Sun's activity, allowing marked improvements in the prediction of solar activity. The project, called Surya, is ...

On the 23rd of August 1997, the NASA Lewis satellite launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base. Three days later, the satellite began spinning out of control, which led to a loss of communications with ...

Designer Luke Twyman's solar system simulation doesn't have intricate graphics or a load of features to explore, but it can do what many others can't: sing. Called SolarBeat, it plays a music box-like ...
