Adriana MaraisMarch 6, 24asteroid, NASA

In the first two months of 2024, Earth experienced several close encounters with asteroids. However, the recent days have been quiet, with no asteroids passing by. This break in activity is expected to end tomorrow, as another asteroid is scheduled to pass close to Earth. These close approaches happen when an asteroid is influenced by a planet’s gravitational pull, potentially putting it on a collision course with Earth. Using advanced technology, the US Space Agency has identified another asteroid that will pass by Earth on March 7. Asteroid 2024 EH:…

Sanjay PatilMarch 6, 24NASA, Solar Flare, Solar storm

Over the past two months, there has been a significant rise in solar activity as the Sun approaches its peak in the 11-year cycle known as the solar maximum. As a result, Earth has experienced an increase in solar particles, CMEs, solar flares, solar storms, and geomagnetic storms. Most recently, a G2-class geomagnetic storm caused auroras to appear over the Arctic Circle. NASA has now warned that a sunspot may release an M-class solar flare, potentially leading to a solar storm. Stay tuned for more information. Solar storm According to…

Nitin MisraMarch 4, 24asteroids, NASA

In February 2024, there were multiple asteroid approaches, and this trend is expected to continue into March. Tracking asteroids, which are millions of kilometers away in space, is done by NASA using telescopes. When a new Near-Earth Asteroid (NEA) is spotted, astronomers track its position in the sky and report the data to the Minor Planet Center. The Center for Near-Earth Object Studies (CNEOS) then uses this information to calculate the asteroid’s orbit around the Sun. With its advanced technology, NASA has identified an asteroid that is expected to pass…

Indian astronomers tracked the most intense geomagnetic storm that brought auroras to Ladakh

Adarsh V.KMarch 2, 24Space

In April 2023, a strong geomagnetic storm lit up the skies with stunning auroras, reaching as far south as Ladakh in India. Typically, these auroras are only seen in the North Pole and northern regions, but this storm was so intense that it extended further south. Indian astronomers have now linked the origins of this storm to the Sun, utilizing data from various space telescopes operating in different wavelengths. Coronal mass ejections (CMEs), massive eruptions of ionized gas and magnetic fields from the Sun, are known to trigger geomagnetic storms…
