2025's strongest solar flare triggers global radio blackout
Scientists said the sun erupted Tuesday morning, unleashing a strong X5.1-class flare in an intense outburst, causing communications disruptions.
It was the year's strongest solar flare.
Scientists said the flare peaked around 5 a.m. EST, creating the most intense outburst since October 2024.
The solar flare triggered radio blackouts on the African and European continents Conference travel emissions exceed research energy use
Scientists at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria evaluated the carbon footprint of travel to global nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) conferences, revealing that a single transcontinental trip by a European attendee generates four to five tons of CO2 emissions. This amount surpasses the combined footprint from six months of conducting experiments, preparing samples, and performing sc Geopolitical instability and AI drive transformation in EO market
Novaspace's latest Earth Observation Data and Services Market report identifies a major shift in the commercial landscape. The combination of geopolitical tension and rapid AI adoption is intensifying demand for defense-grade earth observation (EO) solutions. Buyers now prioritize sovereign control and immediate access to high-resolution imagery, with revisit intervals shaping competition in the Goodbye Nina, hello Sarah

First confirmed sighting of explosive burst on nearby star
Astronomers using the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton space observatory and the LOFAR telescope have definitively spotted an explosive burst of material thrown out into space by another star – a burst powerful enough to strip away the atmosphere of any unlucky planet in its path.
