#superflares

[wayti-blog]

"An international group of researchers have found that stars similar to the Sun produce a gigantic outburst of electromagnetic radiation, or superflare, about once every 100 years per star.

The researchers, including some from Japan and Europe, released their findings in the US journal Science on Friday.

They studied more than 56,000 stars with fundamental parameters similar to the Sun. They used the Kepler space telescope to observe brightness fluctuations over a period of time.

The group identified more than 2,800 superflares with energies far greater than that of typical solar flares. The scientists say this indicates that Sun-like stars produce superflares roughly once per century."

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 156 Superflares: A Century-Long Threat? A new study warns of the potential for our Sun to unleash superflares, with the threat estimated at once per century. These massive eruptions could engulf the Earth, challenging our understanding of solar behaviour. Evidence from other sun-like stars suggests that such violent solar events may be more common than previously thought, urging caution as we continue to study these phenomena. Binary Star Discovery Near Galactic Core Astronomers have identified the first binary star system near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. This discovery, made using the European Southern Observatory's Very Large Telescope, offers new insights into how stars can survive in extreme gravitational environments. The findings could pave the way for detecting planets orbiting close to this massive black hole. NASA's Lucy Mission: Onward to Jupiter NASA's Lucy spacecraft has completed its second close flyby of Earth, gaining a gravity assist to propel it towards Jupiter's Trojan asteroids. This manoeuvre is part of Lucy's 12-year mission to study these ancient celestial bodies, believed to be remnants from the early solar system. The spacecraft's journey promises to unlock new secrets about the formation of our planetary neighbourhood. 00:00 This is Spacetime Series 27, episode 156 for broadcast on 27th December 2024 00:48 New observations suggest our sun may be far more violent than previously thought 05:17 Astronomers detect binary star system near supermassive black hole 08:49 NASA's Lucy spacecraft makes second close flyby of the Earth 10:37 NASA's Lucy mission is heading to the Jupiter Trojans 12:26 Sea ice levels in the ocean surrounding Antarctica reach new record lows in 2023 13:52 A new study claims drinking moderate amounts of wine can ward off heart disease 15:05 There are headlines saying believing in Loch Ness monster makes you less stressed www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com www.bitesz.com 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn.

OH MY GOD HAPPY BIRTHDAAAAY!! i hope it's a great one!! 💖💖

Thank you!! Yes it is 🥰 First I thought it would be a sad and lonely one, but I suddelny spent the evening with my boyfriend and some friends. We went mini golfing, then we ate at a restaurant and the rest of the evening we were at my place playing board games and talking about random stuff.

ooh regarding meeting your sims work mates via clubs, there's two mods that allows you to passively meet your coworkers that might make it easier! they're "Know Your Co-Workers and Classmates" by simulatedflowers and the "Career Overhaul Suite" by Kuttoe (the 2nd one also changes a buuunch of other stuff) <3

Ooooohhh~ When I finally get back to playing for real I'll definitely check out those mods! Thank you so much for the reccomendations!!!

An article published in "The Astrophysical Journal" reports the detection of a superflare in the V1355 Orionis system, a pair of stars of the variable RS Canum Venaticorum type, which features a more massive and evolved star than its companion. A team of researchers used space and ground-based telescopes to monitor the activity of the V1355 Orionis system, known for its powerful eruptions. This allowed to obtain continuous observations of this phenomenon, which was generated by a process called prominence eruption. This study offers new insights into these stellar phenomena that also occur on the Sun, albeit with a much smaller force.

SpaceTime Series 27 Episode 155 *Discovery of a New Class of Cosmic X-Ray Astronomers have identified a new class of cosmic X-ray source, potentially originating from a novel type of nova event. The study, published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, reveals 29 unusual objects in the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds. These objects displayed unexpected behaviours, such as long-duration X-ray outbursts and recurring outbreaks. The findings suggest these sources, dubbed 'Milli Novae', could play a crucial role in understanding astrophysical phenomena, especially as they may contribute to the mass of white dwarfs, potentially leading to Type 1A supernovae. *Uncovering the Secrets of the Centaurs Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have begun studying centaurs, a unique family of comet-like asteroids orbiting between Jupiter and Neptune. The study of 2060 Chiron reveals surface chemistry unlike any other known centaur, with carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide ices, and methane gases in its coma. These findings provide new insights into the origins of our solar system, as centaurs have remained largely unchanged since its formation 4.6 billion years ago. *NASA's Plans for Commercial Space Stations With the International Space Station set for retirement in 2030, NASA is supporting the development of multiple commercial space stations. Projects include the NASA-funded STAR Labs space station, slated for launch in 2028, and Axiom's modular space station, which will initially dock with the ISS. Other proposals, like Orbital Reef and Haven One, are also in development, promising to advance commercial space activities and research. 00:00 Astronomers have identified a new class of cosmic X ray source 04:44 2060 Chiron provides new clues about the origins of our solar system 12:56 A number of proposals for commercial low Earth orbit space stations are growing 17:46 Higher levels of air pollution associated with higher risk of hospitalisation, study finds 19:31 Almost all artificial intelligence chatbots are showing symptoms of mild cognitive impairment 20:47 Apple's AI summarisation feature sometimes gives incorrect summaries 22:47 ChatGPT has made its search engines free 24:17 Space Time is available every Monday, Wednesday and Friday through Apple Podcasts www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com www.bitesz.com 🌏 Get Our Exclusive NordVPN deal here ➼ www.bitesz.com/nordvpn.
