NASA has captured a huge solar prominence bursting from the surface of the Sun

NASA has captured a huge solar prominence bursting from the surface of the Sun NASA has captured a huge solar prominence bursting from the surface of the Sun. The prominence was recorded by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) satellite on October 25. It stretched out roughly 80,000 miles. The space agency noted it was “about ten times the diameter of Earth,” which is just over 7,900 miles.  A solar prominence is a largely unexplained phenomenon—scientists do not know exactly how and why they form. They are seen bursting from the Sun’s surface into the corona, the aura of plasma surrounding our star. They are tethered to the photosphere, which is the outer shell of the Sun and the part that radiates light and heat. “Our Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite watched as a solar prominence rose up above the Sun’s surface, twisted around, then became elongated and broke away from the Sun,” NASA said in a statement. “Prominences are relatively cool clouds of solar ...

Pawan categorically declared that Jana Sena did not need the support or alliance of any other party. The latest statement from Jana Sena Party chief and power star Pawan Kalyan that his party would not have electoral understanding with any other party in the coming assembly and Lok Sabha elections left the Left parties in tizzy. In his twitter message, Pawan categorically declared that Jana Sena did not need the support or alliance of any other party. “We have enough strength and popular support. We shall display our tremendous force (in the coming elections),” he said. Now, that has left the Communist parties – CPI and the CPI (M) – in a state of confusion. All these days, they had been hoping that they would have an alliance with Jana Sena and would be allotted some seats in the next elections, so that they could retain their identity at least to some extent. They have been extending all kinds of support to Jana Sena, including organising rallies and arranging...
