How a Dust Plume Turned the Sun Red
Remember when Storm Ophelia turned the sun and sky those freaky colours last year? Here's how it happened.

Renewable resources are great, but they bring a new element of uncertainty to a power grid. This element can lead to failure in surprising ways, according to a new paper.
Seems weird we are only learning this now, but it’s a mystery that’s vexed scientists for over a hundred years.
Gravitational mysteries are still abound in our confusing universe.
Capes are crucial when it comes to flying around town to fight crime and brood and whatnot, yet we still don’t know how exactly the physics of capes facilitate this process.
For years scientists have been looking for baryons, particles made from quarks that make up the nuclei inside of atoms. Now they may have found the true source of the missing stuff.
Perhaps these apps will someday be in a usable-enough state that you can help physicists do some really cool science.
I hope you’re ready for some awkward teenage black holes.
Experiment and theory have demonstrated a quirky nature to the most basic form of matter.
Black holes are already some of the strangest objects in the universe, but scientists keep dreaming up even more wild theories about their behaviour.
Today, workers at the world’s largest atom smasher are breaking ground on a performance-enhancing upgrade that will allow scientists to conduct even bigger and better physics experiments.
Neutrinos are ghostly, mysterious shape-shifters. New evidence bolsters the existence of an even ghostlier version of these strange particles.
Insights from this bead-filled plastic drum might one day be important for potentially life-saving forecasting.
The Tarantula Nebula is a high-energy region full of baby stars in a neighbouring galaxy, the Large Magellanic Cloud - and it looks incredible.
One experiment in Italy recently reported a strange, annually occurring signal they thought might be coming from dark matter. But other experiments can’t seem to find the same signal—or any dark matter signal.
It’s nice that scientists are looking for ways to push things through space without fuel, but the EmDrive is probably another dead end.
