Small, low-cost sensors developed by space scientists at The University of Texas at Dallas to study the Earth's upper atmosphere recently—and unexpectedly—provided information about the sun ...
The Earth could suffer impacts after four massive explosions were observed on the Sun this week. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured the rare event at around 3.30am on Tuesday (April 23).
