Sun Unleashes Powerful X2.2 Solar Flare Causing Temporary Blackouts
NASA has captured a powerful X2.2 solar flare that erupted from the sun on Feb. 17, causing temporary blackouts in some parts of the world. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which constantly watches the sun, observed the flare—which is an intense eruption of electromagnetic radiation in the sun’s atmosphere—and said it peaked at 3:16 p.m. EST. “This flare is classified…
Discovery Reveals Hard Metallic Truth at Earth’s Centre
Australian scientists have made a ground-breaking discovery deep below the Earth’s surface. Their research confirms a 20-year-old hypothesis by revealing the planet, much like a Kinder Surprise, has a hard, inedible mass at its centre. Beneath the planet’s well-known crunchy crust, molten mantle, and creamy outer and inner core, scientists found a surprise fifth layer…
