On November 27 and 28, a series of powerful... solar flares swept across the Sun’s surface, creating this coronal hole. This phenomenon is a temporary region of relatively cool, less dense plasma in the solar corona where the Sun's magnetic field extends into interplanetary space as an open field. The open magnetic field of a coronal hole allows solar wind to escape into space at a much quicker rate, leading to increased chances of geomagnetic storms upon colliding with Earth’s magnetosphere.show more

This supermassive black hole holds a mass of nearly... 66 billion Suns, making it the largest confirmed black hole ever discovered. Its event horizon is so vast that our entire solar system would disappear inside it, and time near its edge would slow almost to a stop. Located billions of light-years away, TON 618 shows us how powerful and mysterious the universe truly is.show more

IoTeX was selected by Messari as a core case... study in its new AI report, cited alongside World, Coinbase 🛡️, Openτensor Foundaτion and others. Messari’s research underscores a bigger shift: real-world AI needs verified data, and IoTeX is the first full stack infrastructure that can supply it. Live device data becomes verifiable insight, ready for real-world agentic deployment. Quicksilver is already proving this in production with DIMO, Nubila Network and more, powering agentic applications built on IoTeX-verified real-world intelligence.

Here is a 3D visualization of the coming solar... storm using model parameters from NASA's run, NOAA's run (shown below), and the coronagraph views from STEREO-A/COR2 and SOHO/LASCO. The storm is expected to hit Earth early December 9. The 3D visualization clearly shows the low inclination orientation of the solar slinky core inside the larger storm envelope. Of course, the earlier eruption that erupted to the northeast, might deflect this structure a little bit, but likely that will only make the structure move more towards the ecliptic plane, which will give us a larger chance of crossing through the solar slinky core. One nice thing about low inclination flux rope cores is that they almost ALWAYS have southward field in them at some point. So this is good news for aurora photographers-- as long as this solar storm stays true to its launch trajectory and inclination, we could see some organized southward pointed magnetic field. Considering this solar storm is fast-- that usually indicates the storm will not deviate much from its original launch trajectory! Here is the link to a static frame of the 3D frame visualization so you can fly around it yourself:show more

It's Black Hole Friday! This computer simulation shows a... gas cloud encountering two supermassive black holes. As gravitational and frictional forces meet, the cloud condenses and heats. Each time the black holes orbit, some of the gas is ejected. Learn how scientists use data like this to improve their observations and understanding of cosmic systems:show more

🚨 Scientists may have found a hidden shortcut to... Mars using asteroid orbits. A new study suggests asteroid orbital geometry could cut Mars round trips to 153 days shaving hundreds of days off conventional missions. The idea: Use the geometry of small-body orbital planes like gravitational “corridors” through the Solar System. Not brute force. Structure. Navigation through celestial resonance. Sometimes progress isn’t pushing harder through space it’s discovering the path space already allows. Mars may be closer than we thought. Follow me I track where physics becomes structure.show more

🚨 THE SUN JUST PUNCHED EARTH IN THE MAGNETIC... FACE - AND WE LOVED IT On November 11, the Sun fired off an X5.1 solar flare - the biggest of 2025 - and hurled a plasma freight train at Earth at 600+ km/s. Twenty-four hours later, it slammed into our magnetosphere like a cosmic battering ram. NASA’s model shows it perfectly: Earth, a tiny blue marble at the center… Red zones whipping past like solar shrapnel… Magnetic field lines bending, twisting, screaming under the impact. This is what a geomagnetic storm looks like when the universe decides to remind you who’s in charge. The fallout? Satellites jitter. GPS drifts. HF comms get scrambled. And the sky throws a rave - auroras blooming far south of where they have any business being. With the Sun climbing toward peak activity, this won’t be the last hit. Expect more storms, more skyfire, and at least one “Why is the aurora over Chicago?” moment before 2026 is done. Source: Black Holeshow more
