Stunning image of Sun captured by Inouye Solar Telescope, world’s most powerful

[ad_1] The Inouye Solar Telescope has captured a mesmerizing image of the Sun’s atmosphere to mark the first anniversary of the solar telescope’s operation. Earth has faced numerous solar flares these past few months and more are expected as the Sun moves ahead in its 11-year solar cycle, resulting in increased solar activity and solar output. As many as 32 Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) have been observed emitting from the Sun in the past couple of weeks. Taking images of the Sun is a difficult task as it requires a strong telescope which can capture the giant star. The Inouye Solar Telescope has achieved this amazing feat.The U.S. National Science Foundation's Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope has captured a stunning image of...

Solar storm-killer found? Look what just saved and changed the world forever

[ad_1] The Earth may just have found a solution for destructive solar storms —- Inouye Solar Telescope. We all know about the dark side of solar storms. These radiation-filled particles carrying a high magnetic charge known as coronal mass ejections (CME), can impact the Earth in multiple ways. From causing harmless auroral projections to destroying satellites in Earth's lower orbit, harming electronic devices on Earth, disrupting GPS, mobile network and internet services to even collapsing the power grid, the dangers of solar storms are very high. But probably the most terrifying thing about solar storms is the unpredictable nature of it. No matter what, we can only know about them one to two days ahead of time, which is not...
