"A number of complex sunspot groups are present on the visible solar disk and solar activity has increased to include an R3 (strong) solar flare Sunday evening," the center posted "A number of (coronal mass ejections) have been associated with the increased activity and at least four of these have anticipated Earth-directed components with possible arrivals beginning Tuesday on into Thursday." A coronal mass ejection is essentially a break in the sun's magnetic field which causes an explosion that launches solar particles into space Those solar particles are now are on their way to Earth where they can cause a geomagnetic storm.  The center issued a G3 storm watch, referring to a strong storm, for July 30, and a G2 storm watch, referring to a moderate storm, for July 31-Aug. 1.

Amazon.comConditions of UseAmazon Privacy Policy© 1996-2025 Amazon.com In a study published in Nature Astronomy astronomers from New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research (NJIT-CSTR) have detailed radio observations of an extraordinary aurora-like display — occurring 40,000 km above a relatively dark and cold patch on the Sun Researchers say the novel radio emission shares characteristics with the auroral radio emissions commonly seen in planetary magnetospheres such as those around Earth The discovery offers new insights into the origin of such intense solar radio bursts and potentially opens new avenues for understanding similar phenomena in distant stars with large starspots, according to the study’s lead author and NJIT-CSTR scientist “We've detected a peculiar type of long-lasting polarized radio bursts emanating from a sunspot transient solar radio bursts typically lasting minutes or hours It’s an exciting discovery that has the potential to alter our comprehension of stellar magnetic processes.” Famous auroral light shows that are visible across the sky of Earth’s polar regions like the Aurora Borealis or Aurora Australis occur as solar activities disturb Earth’s magnetosphere which facilitates the precipitation of charged particles to the Earth’s polar region where the magnetic field converges and interacts with oxygen and nitrogen atoms in the high atmosphere Accelerating toward the north and south poles such electrons can generate intense radio emissions at frequencies around a few hundred kHz Yu’s team says the newly observed solar radio emissions detected over a vast sunspot region temporarily forming where magnetic fields on the Sun’s surface are particularly strong differ from previously known solar radio noise storms — both spectrally and temporally temporally and spatially resolved analysis suggests that they are due to the electron-cyclotron maser (ECM) emission involving energetic electrons trapped within converging magnetic field geometries,” explained Yu “The cooler and intensely magnetic areas of sunspots provide a favorable environment for the ECM emission to occur drawing parallels with the magnetic polar caps of planets and other stars and potentially providing a local solar analog to study these phenomena.” these sunspot aurora emissions occur at frequencies ranging from hundreds of thousands of kHz to roughly 1 million kHz — a direct result of the sunspot's magnetic field being thousands of times stronger than Earth's.” “Our observations reveal that these radio bursts are not necessarily tied to the timing of solar flares either,” added Rohit Sharma a scientist from the University of Applied Sciences Northwestern Switzerland (FHNW) and co-author of the study sporadic flare activity in nearby active regions seems to pump energetic electrons into large-scale magnetic field loops anchored at the sunspot which then power the ECM radio emission above the region.” The “sunspot radio aurora” is thought to exhibit rotational modulation in sync with the solar rotation producing what Yu describes as a “cosmic lighthouse effect.” similar to the modulated radio aurora we observe from rotating stars,” Yu noted “As this sunspot radio aurora represents the first detection of its kind our next step involves retrospective analysis We aim to determine if some of the previously recorded solar bursts could be instances of this newly identified emission.” are likened to stellar auroral emissions observed in the past and may suggest that starspots on cooler stars could be the sources of the certain radio bursts observed in various stellar environments “This observation is among the clearest evidence of radio ECM emissions we have seen from the Sun The characteristics resemble some of those observed on our planets and other distant stars leading us to consider the possibility that this model could be potentially applicable to other stars with starspots,” said Bin Chen NJIT-CSTR associate professor of physics and a co-author linking the behavior of our Sun and the magnetic activities of other stars could have implications for astrophysicists to rethink their current models of stellar magnetic activity “We're beginning to piece together the puzzle of how energetic particles and magnetic fields interact in a system with the presence of long-lasting starspots not just on our own Sun but also on stars far beyond our solar system,” said NJIT solar researcher Surajit Mondal “By understanding these signals from our own Sun we can better interpret the powerful emissions from the most common star type in the universe which may reveal fundamental connections in astrophysical phenomena,” added Dale Gary NJIT-CSTR distinguished professor of physics The research team — including collaborators Marina Battaglia from FHNW Tim Bastian of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory and Yingjie Luo from the University of Glasgow —

extreme geomagnetic storm since 2003 continues this weekend with additional chances to see auroras across Canada and much of the United States on Saturday and Sunday Friday night’s exceptional display of the northern lights was widely seen across the Northern Hemisphere with colours visible in the sky as far south as the Caribbean This is likely the most widely seen aurora event of the modern technological era DON'T MISS: Once-in-a-lifetime northern lights dance across North American skies Several strong coronal mass ejections (CMEs) bursting out of the Sun’s active outer atmosphere reached Earth on Friday The surge of plasma and magnetic field ionized gasses in the upper atmosphere glowing high above as a shimmering field of greens The solar storm continues this weekend as NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) monitors large disruptions in the upper atmosphere Widespread auroras are expected across Canada and much of the U.S with the northern lights possibly making a third consecutive appearance on Sunday night but the activity will arrive in waves—pulsing and waning at different times through the evening Keep looking up any time between twilight and dawn As always, clouds are the make-or-break moment for the best view of a celestial event Folks in southern Ontario may not get as lucky as they did on Friday night as cloud cover may obscure the sky during the evening Clouds will also put a damper on aurora spotting for coastal sections of Nova Scotia MUST SEE: The magical experience of seeing the aurora for the first time Wide stretches of clear skies may make for favourable viewing across northern sections of Ontario and Quebec as well as a decent chance to see an aurora for New Brunswick the southern Prairies are your best bet to catch the aurora amid clear skies Lingering clouds in Manitoba and smoke on the northern and central Prairies may obscure the view A lack of clouds in most of British Columbia could allow for another great view Saturday night your best opportunity to spot the aurora exists in a dark spot that’s free from clouds You may need the assistance of your smartphone camera’s night photo feature to really see the detail and colours in the sky We’re approaching the maximum of Solar Cycle 25 a period during which solar flare and sunspot activity increases—along with more opportunities for CMEs that may produce auroras Experts rate the intensity of geomagnetic activity on the Kp Index which ranges from Kp 0 on the low end to Kp 9 on the high end Values around Kp 7 are sufficient for nationwide aurora visibility MUST SEE: Solar max is approaching. Here’s where and how to see the Northern Lights Several geomagnetic storms since late last year have produced widely viewed auroras in the Northern Hemisphere, including a G3 (strong) storm in November that made the northern lights visible as far south as Virginia and Ukraine Auroras aren’t the only effects of a geomagnetic storm. The surge of charged particles into the atmosphere can cause radio blackouts and GPS disruptions. The strongest geomagnetic storms can even threaten power grids Header image courtesy of Angie Gibson in Collingwood Erie is a town with a long history of social clubs.  Some clubs have lost membership over the years.  Some have faded away.  Others continue to thrive.  One popular club It’s the Nuova Aurora Club in the section of town called ‘Little Italy.’  As with many social clubs in Erie the Nuova Aurora represents the ethnic heritage of the neighborhood in which it is located.  I want to learn about the history of this club I don't have to travel very far from my barstool to be educated about the club.  Historic pictures are all over the walls of the bar.  They tell the story of the La Nuova Aurora Society founded in 1907.  The pictures also tell the story of the neighborhood The Nuova Aurora building has been in the same location on Walnut Street for all of the club’s 115 years "It still is considered Little Italy.  Obviously it's changed over the decades,” says Lance Urraro “3,000 Italian immigrants were established in this area and they started the club I believe they were not able to get into other clubs so they started their own."    about 65% of the club membership is of Italian descent.  However the club maintains its Italian heritage very well Meatballs and sauce are usually cooking inside the kitchen.  Members and guests know this is the place to come for good Italian cooking It's been that way for years and years "They love coming here for dinner.  They love having parties.  There's a lot of parties here.  A lot of fund raisers here,” says Carolyn Vendetti Lance has memories that go back to his childhood "My family's been here a long time.  I came here when I was a kid with my grandmother.  I ate fried zucchini for the first time in my life.  I was probably 6 or 7 years old," says Lance The dining room is also a place to learn about the history of the club by just looking at the walls.  Recently members were asked to submit old photographs of ancestors who used to live in the neighborhood and belonged to the club.  The collection of photographs is called 'The Legacy Project.'  It was organized as a fund raiser.  "Really just a great idea for the club.  It's a way to remember," says Lance Bocce is a big part of the Italian tradition at the Nuova Aurora and it's been that way since the early days of the club It is definitely an Italian game.  450 people participate in leagues.  That's a quarter of the membership There would be more if the club had additional courts "We still have some members who still play bocce in their 80s we still had a 90-year old player,” says Lance A plaque inside the dining room honors the founding members of the Nuova Aurora Club They would be proud that their Italian heritage continues to be honored at 14th and Walnut "Anything we do is for the members,” says Carolyn “The members own the club.  That's why we're here."

It released its new Amazon S3 Tables which it described as the "first cloud object store with built-in Apache Iceberg support" featuring a new S3 bucket type that is purpose-built to store tabular data Handy to those who use Iceberg tables exclusively in the AWS ecosystem perhaps of less interest to those who don't Apache Iceberg expert Alex Merced of Dremio told The Stack: "I look forward to exploring how this feature interfaces with AWS Glue and other Iceberg catalogs like Apache Polaris and Nessie to enable maximum portability of these tables across tools Snowflake and Dremio have added features to allow Iceberg to be a first class citizen with with table management He added: "Iceberg adoption doesn’t stop there as some  platforms are taking more Incremental steps to Iceberg, e.g. Azure has added an Xtable based translation mechanism to translate Iceberg table metadata into Delta for reading within Fabric Looking forward to seeing all the cloud providers adding full read/write first class support for Apache Iceberg."

POLARIS Raumflugzeuge is advancing in its ambitions to produce disruptive aerospace technologies with a recent series of test flight demonstrations in advance of the development of AURORA the company’s next-generation spaceplane concept with a name already familiar to longtime aviation enthusiasts Drawing from more than three decades of combined German and European aerospace research the company’s focus mainly involves the development of reusable space launch capabilities and the production of a versatile hypersonic transport system capable of maintaining the ability to operate like a traditional aircraft successful test flights involving demonstrator aircraft have allowed POLARIS to validate several crucial technologies and the company is now approaching the development of a new demonstrator craft that will represent the final test before it begins production of its ambitious next-generation spaceplane an innovative spaceplane design that combines the rocket launch capabilities the company is currently testing with traditional air flight modes has its origins in early innovations that began at the German Aerospace Center DLR is a vehicle with a design unlike any other which POLARIS says will provide an economical means of access to space in the years ahead AURORA will offer worldwide space launch capabilities without any need for a launch pad as the spaceplane’s aircraft-like operation allows it to take off from any traditional runway Eliminating the need for a launch pad also greatly reduces fuel costs associated with traditional rocket-driven spaceflight AURORA will be capable of carrying payloads greater than 2200 pounds (1000 kg) in orbit and roughly ten times that amount for suborbital/hypersonic flight In keeping with the company’s objectives to develop sustainable aerospace technologies AURORA is also designed with close to 100% system reusability With its versatility and sustainable design POLARIS expects that its spaceplane will be equipped to meet the demands of a variety of markets enabling satellite and orbital cargo launch operations with relative ease and significantly reducing flight times economical delivery of payloads across great distances in record time its defense and research applications are evident as AURORA will be capable of reaching any orbit inclination and is already being touted as a potential solution for hypersonic reconnaissance and a variety of other defense applications While AURORA will be designed to function as an unmanned aircraft POLARIS says it will offer an optional upgrade of its spaceplane that will facilitate human transport enabling flights capable of carrying passengers for research and training purposes and a range of other potential spaceflight missions The aircraft’s name seems to be no accident AURORA had been the alleged name of an aerospace development project aiming to build the successor aircraft to the famous SR-71 Aviation Week & Space Technology reported rumors about the development of a “Mach 4 200,000-ft.-altitude aircraft that could be a follow-on to the Lockheed SR-71 strategic reconnaissance vehicle in the 1990s,” which it reported “has been defined by the Air Force Aeronautical Systems Division and Lockheed.” Efforts to determine whether such a spacecraft had indeed ever been developed continued for years prompting the Federation of American Scientists to investigate “observations of mysterious aerial phenomena” which began to be “connected with the 1988 reports that Aurora was a Mach 6 stealthy reconnaissance aircraft that was being developed to replace the SR-71.” it was never determined whether such an unacknowledged aircraft truly existed who developed both the SR-71 and its predecessor later said the name “Aurora” had been the code name for funding of an Air Force black program which later leaked during congressional appropriations hearings prompting the media to presume it involved a secret hypersonic aircraft “Although I expect few in the media to believe me,” Johnson later wrote “there is no code name for the hypersonic plane While Johnson maintained the U.S. had never successfully developed a hypersonic successor to the SR-71, not surprisingly, invocation of the fabled aircraft’s name has been seen again and again by various agencies and aerospace companies in recent years POLARIS appears to be the latest company poised to bring its version of AURORA out of the shadows of modern space-age mythology and into reality POLARIS has announced that it expects to begin flight with its light spaceplane by as early as 2026 with a heavy vehicle that will become operational by the early 2030s the company has undertaken technology validation with the production of several scaled flight demonstrators POLARIS announced that it had commenced initial tests with its MIRA-Light demonstrator a smaller version of its full-scale MIRA aircraft which it plans to begin testing before the end of the year the MIRA-Light vehicle measures roughly 2.5 meters in length and with the company’s successful flight of its full-scale MIRA demonstrator later this year the company hopes to showcase its linear aerospike rocket design a novel variety of engines that boast significant performance capabilities exceeding those of traditional rocket engines Before it commences production on the spaceplane the company will be launching its fifth demonstrator as the final test of its innovative flight capabilities prior to production of AURORA Powered by four kerosene-fed jet turbines and a single liquid fuel rocket engine POLARIS says the focus of the DEMO-5 NOVA flight will be “the demonstration of safe and repeatable rocket-powered supersonic flight capability at high altitudes while fulfilling the full regulatory framework required for airport-based operation.” NOVA is expected to be developed and flown sometime next year with AURORA entering its production stage thereafter in 2026 The company’s ambitions don’t stop with AURORA POLARIS hopes it will be positioned to begin development of the ultimate expression of its current technological vision: a reusable heavy orbital spaceplane which the company says will be a step toward making fully reusable single-stage-to-orbit (SSTO) space vehicles one closer to becoming a reality You can learn more about POLARIS and the AURORA spaceplane, in

information products of this web publishing are intended for persons aged 18 and over We’ve got a dedicated section for the AR-15 here We’ve built dozens of AR’s and we’ll cover all the best AR-15 upgrades such as handguards We dedicate every day to thoroughly testing and researching top firearms We also sort through countless offers to highlight the ones truly worth your attention Learn all the important stuff about handguns...with none of the attitude The Primary Arms SLx 1-6x24 Gen IV is an excellent value for the money The quality of materials and features at this price point is stellar The world of magnified optics is flush with options for those shooters needing to reach out with some clarity at distance there are a lot of low-powered variable optics (LPVO) too The high-end scopes available on the market are amazing but can have you considering a second mortgage But there are good options that do most of what you need without breaking the bank We can agree we should have options that provide good performance at a low price — optics that don’t suck Primary Arms recently sent us their latest SLx 1-6 to test out and after putting it through the wringer…we think it’s a great value So keep reading while we walk through the pros and cons and take it to the range The SLx lineup (read silver) is a budget-minded series offering good features at a competitive price Primary Arms also has a GLx line representing gold at a slightly better quality and higher price There are also PLx or platinum offerings that represent the premium category of optics As the Gen IV designation of this 1-6 indicates there have been previous versions of this scope and the Texas-based company seems to improve them with each iteration Feedback to Primary Arms from previous models consisted of the reticle light not being daylight bright The improvement of that feature with this new model is dramatically brighter Anyone wanting to extend the capabilities of their rifle should check out low-powered variable optics since they offer greater clarity at distance when compared with a simple red dot and a bit of distortion at the lowest magnification The SLx 1-6 Gen IV is a great place to dive into these waters and lifetime warranty make it a low to no-risk option The SLx 1-6 is made with a 30mm tube of 6061 T6 aluminum Its exterior surface appears to be black aluminum with a nice finish and white lettering The exit pupil (end you look through) features a diopter adjustment to dial in for your particular vision but it’s okay because you typically set it and forget it you soon arrive at the magnification adjustment which features some well-textured knurling and a 90-degree throw lever sitting at 3 o’clock at 1x magnification and 9 o’clock at 6x Adjusting magnification is a bit stiff and takes a good grip This is a delicate balance because you don’t want your scope to easily adjust magnification by bumping into something but you also don’t want to strain to get there you reach the windage and elevation controls These are fairly low profile and likely a money-saving feature compared to exposed turrets the dials adjust easily with a slight tactile bump and minimal sound There are 120 MOA of adjustment available on windage and elevation In the same area on the left side of the scope lies the illumination knob which shares the same knurled exterior as the windage and elevation caps and makes a soft pop each time you hit a setting There are no off settings in between the various power levels requiring users to spin the dial all the way back to zero to turn it off the SLx 1-6 Gen IV also comes with pop-up caps for the objective and exit pupil These are closeable for extra protection of the lenses or removed easily The clarity of the glass on the SLx 1-6 Gen IV is quite good the middle portion of the glass is quite sharp It was only with greater scrutiny that I noticed a little bit of loss of quality out on the edges the middle was very sharp up close and under magnification but the edges lost a tiny bit of sharpness Check out this quick video of it zoomed in: The quality of glass is one of the most significant factors in the performance of a scope and this result is a worthy tradeoff when you consider the price of the SLx 1-6 Gen IV Check out this quick video of it at 1x and also activating the illuminated reticle: I like the ACSS Nova reticle as it is uncluttered and easy to use From the dot in the middle of the crosshairs there are three stadia representing holds for moving targets These handy references enable shooters to quickly build leads without guessing Below the red dot are 10 additional stadia for elevation These decrease in width the lower they go and are designed to allow shooters to range a target based on an 18-inch width If the first MIL covers and matches the target width best This progresses with smaller MILs as you move down Shooters who know their ballistic performance at distance may also use these MILs as a ballistic drop calculator (BDC) holdovers are simplified by simply moving the reticle up to the appropriate stadia on the reticle the reticle does not enlarge as magnification is increased In the very middle of the crosshairs lies one of the most significant improvements with the Gen IV Primary Arms installed a high-efficiency fiber optic wire to achieve impressive brightness the highest setting is more than daylight bright I was able to engage a red steel plate in the high noon Texas sun at various distances and could clearly distinguish the dot It is much brighter in comparison to previous versions and other optics I’ve used from Primary Arms. In the video, you can tell the difference is stark, even between the SLx and the very impressive PLx we reviewed previously The overall performance of the SLx 1-6 Gen IV was solid feels right on though I was able to pick up normal shadow when I got my head a little off-axis a magnification-induced appearance of making things a tiny bit smaller and the optic performed well as I transitioned between targets at low power While I noted the minor loss of sharpness at the far edges of the optic I realistically don’t use that area for targeting I learned the importance of returning your LPVO back to 1x after you’ve shot at magnification you aren’t lost at 6x if a close-range target is your next shot The stiffness of the magnification adjustment ring made this transition a little more challenging this is a balance between holding magnification and ease of use Check this quick video of it zooming between 1x and 6x: I was able to use the lower stadia for distance holds Two things help distinguish the SLx 1-6 Gen IV: the brightness of the dot and the value This optic is marginally better than much of the competition at this price point I feel like the SLx line is becoming a benchmark in budget optics something other companies should be compared against I tested zero and found the optic held true This optic is IPX6 and covered by a full lifetime warranty The visual clarity of the main targeting area is crisp though this drops a bit on the periphery at 1x and throughout the magnification range The magnification adjustment is also a little stiffer than I would prefer Sean Curtis has been shooting since childhood but really began to delve into guns more during his law enforcement career of over two decades He received continued training for his roles in SWAT and as a POST-certified handgun instructor Sean then came on board full-time in 2021 where he soon began focusing on reviews and videos…with tons of hands-on experience with a variety of optics The Primary Arms SLx 1-6 Gen IV is an outstanding value the overall quality for the price is what makes this scope an excellent choice If you want to increase your range with an LPVO but don’t want to shell out $1,000+ Will you be purchasing a SLx 1-6?

Australia It’s time to roll out the red carpet because a super star is coming to town the usually too-faint-to-see star T Coronae Borealis (T CrB) is set to explode into the night sky for the first time in 80 years Scientists predict this rare nova will shine just as bright as the North Star making it completely visible to the naked eye from Australia While you can’t quite mark your calendars for this dazzling light display here’s everything you can do to prepare for the outburst.  T Coronae Borealis is a recurring nova (meaning ‘new star’) typically too dim to spot in the night sky the nova temporarily becomes thousands of times brighter – to the point that it’s visible to the naked eye from Earth – before fading away again It’s one of only five recurrent novas observed within the Milky Way and was last seen lighting up our skies in 1946.  Previous eruptions of T CrB were documented in 1217, 1787, 1866 and most recently, 1946. Based on these patterns, NASA predicts that T Coronae Borealis could burst into view any time between now and September the star should be visible to the naked eye for several days and remain visible with binoculars for about a week afterwards Swinburne astronomer professor Alan Duffy explains: "We can’t be exact in predicting exactly when it will appear as we are seeing an explosion on the surface of a dead star that is stealing material from a nearby star (a red giant) "It appears that after about 80 years of building up that stolen material on its surface and a thermonuclear explosion is triggered in the built-up material (This causes) it to shine thousands of times brighter for just a few days allowing us to see it as a seemingly new star." T CrB will fade again and could potentially stay that way for another 80 years – making this a truly once-in-a-lifetime stargazing opportunity look up towards the constellation Corona Borealis semicircle of stars located between Boötes and Hercules The outburst will look like a bright ‘new’ star within this constellation close to the ground) for us in the Southern Hemisphere.  you'll want to find a clear space away from buildings and street lights.  Professor Duffy explains: "Look towards the north an hour after sunset; the constellation will reach its highest and most visible point at midnight Stretch your arm outright towards the horizon Make sure to have no hills or buildings in the way." He also recommends using a stargazing app, like StarView or Sky Safari to get comfortable with spotting the Corona Borealis constellation first You can follow @NASAUniverse for the latest updates about the T Coronae Borealis outburst or set up a Google Alert to be notified when something happens Stay in the loop: sign up for our free Time Out Australia newsletter for more news Thanks for subscribing!
