- NASA's PUNCH mission can now accurately predict when solar storms will hit Earth
NASA's PUNCH mission has significantly improved the ability to predict when solar storms will impact Earth. The advancement allows for more accurate forecasting of these solar events.
- Scientists propose model to protect Earth from solar storms
Scientists propose a satellite constellation called StormWall to shield Earth from solar storms. Brian Walsh, one of the co-designers, discussed the plan with CBS News.
- NASA launches spacecraft to recover sinking telescope
NASA is launching a mission to capture the Swift telescope, which is sinking toward Earth due to recent solar storms. The spacecraft aims to boost the telescope's orbit to prevent its descent.
- Rescue mission launches to save NASA telescope that’s falling back to Earth
A three-armed spacecraft launched to rescue NASA's Swift Observatory, which is at risk of crashing to Earth due to solar storms. Katalyst Space's Link spacecraft aims to capture and boost the telescope's orbit, funded by a $30 million NASA contract, to extend its scientific mission.
- Rescue mission launches to save NASA telescope that's falling back to Earth
A three-armed spacecraft launched to rescue NASA’s Swift Observatory, which is at risk of crashing to Earth due to solar storms. Katalyst Space Technologies' Link spacecraft, carried by Northrop Grumman's Pegasus rocket, aims to capture the telescope and boost its orbit to extend its mission.
- Scientists float bizarre solution to protect us from solar storms — shooting a giant ‘airbag’ into space
Scientists propose deploying a giant 'airbag' into space to shield Earth from solar storms. A space weather expert confirms the concept works when applying rigorous physics.
- Scientists propose spraying chemicals into Earth's magnetic field to protect us from powerful solar storms
Scientists are proposing to spray chemicals into Earth's magnetic field as a protective measure against powerful solar storms. The plan aims to mitigate potential damage caused by these storms to technological systems and infrastructure.
- Unusual red northern lights over Japan suggest some solar storms are stronger than we thought
Unusual red northern lights were observed over Japan, indicating that some solar storms may be more intense than previously believed. The phenomenon suggests a need for further research into solar activity and its effects on Earth.
