Science and technology, explained simply
The M-class solar flare, which occurred in the area of sunspot AR3575, caused extensive shortwave radio communications outages in the South Pacific.
In Australia and Southeast Asia, sailors and radio amateurs reported signal loss at frequencies below 30 megahertz within an hour of the peak of the outbreak.
There were also short-term power outages in the region.
The radio and power outage was caused by a powerful pulse of X-rays and ultraviolet rays that reached the Earth about eight minutes after the solar flare.
The latest military satellite SATurnin-1, developed for the Czech Ministry of Defense, has successfully transmitted its first photographs of Earth from orbit.

The European Space Agency (ESA) plans to send the Ramses spacecraft to track the asteroid Apophis as it approaches our planet on April 13, 2029. The 375-meter-diameter asteroid will fly at a distance of only 32,000 kilometers from Earth – closer than some satellites in orbit. Despite its close passage, Apophis does not pose a […]
Scientists from Europe have made a breakthrough in the development of materials for harvesting energy directly on chips. The new research could lead to more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly electronic devices. A research team from Germany, Italy, and the United Kingdom has created a germanium-tin alloy that can convert the heat generated by processors into […]
