Groundbreaking Sun Observation Could Revolutionise Space Weather Prediction
The so-called Rossby waves the team observed will hopefully give us a useful new tool to predict solar weather with several days or more advance notice.

Good luck out there 3C 186. That galaxy wasn’t good enough for you anyway.
This could clue us in to how young galaxies transformed into ones like ours, and the role dark matter played in this transformation.
There are so many hidden figures around us everyday, and we should celebrate them now—not in 20 or 30 years.
You may have read today that the entire universe is a giant hologram. No, nope. Not what happened.
At the centre of the galaxy sits Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole around four million times the mass of the Sun. If an unlucky star ventures too close, the black hole’s gravity tears it to shreds.
Two billion light years away, two clusters of galaxies are colliding in an intergalactic pileup.
Stare into the abyss, my friends.
These phenomena got more interesting last year when astronomers discovered the very first FRB signal that repeats. Now, they’ve pinpointed its location.
In case you missed one of the most exciting physics developments of the century, or need a refresher on what gravitational waves are.
Physicists are already stoked about the cosmic collisions they’re going to measure during the Advanced Laser Interferometer Gravitational Wave Observatory's next six-month run.
iI’s bombing through space at 2,000 miles per second — and it may never stop.
Using two of the world’s largest configurable telescopes, scientists have created the most detailed map yet of hydrogen atoms in the Milky Way. Read More >>
Using the Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers have found evidence of a “wandering” black hole on the outskirts of a distant galaxy.
And the answer doesn’t imply the immediate destruction of humanity.
Getting to watch a star evolve in mere decades reminds just how dynamic our cosmic neighbourhood is—and how little we truly understand about the forces shaping it.
