Intense radiation could strip away the ozone layer of Earth-like planets around other stars and render them uninhabitable, according to a new study.
On Sept. 10th, departing sunspot AR2673 erupted, producing a powerful X8-class solar flare. The explosion propelled a CME into space and accelerated a swarm of energetic protons toward Earth. Both are visible in this coronagraph movie from the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO): The many specks in this movie are not stars–they are solar protons
Large and small scale solar eruptions might all be triggered by a single process, according to new research that leads to better understanding of the Sun’s activity.
