NASA registrerar rekordlång solradiostörning på 19 dagar

Rapporterad av AI

NASA-forskare observerade en solradiostörning som varade i 19 dagar under augusti 2025, vilket vida överstiger det tidigare rekordet på fem dagar. Händelsen följdes med hjälp av flera rymdfarkoster i solsystemet och kopplades till en så kallad helmet streamer på solen.

Den utdragna signalen identifierades som en typ IV-radiostörning, genererad av energirika elektroner som fångats i solens magnetfält. Forskare kombinerade data från NASA:s STEREO, Parker Solar Probe och Wind-uppdrag, tillsammans med ESA:s och NASA:s Solar Orbiter, för att följa störningen allteftersom solen roterade.

Astronomers pinpoint brightest fast radio burst in nearby galaxy

An international team has identified the brightest fast radio burst ever detected by CHIME, tracing it to the galaxy NGC 4141. Named FRB 20250316A or RBFLOAT, the burst occurred on March 16, 2025, and lasted about one-fifth of a second. Follow-up observations with the James Webb Space Telescope revealed a faint infrared signal at the location.

Space weather may have blurred SETI's search for alien signals

9 mars 2026 Rapporterad av AI

Researchers at the SETI Institute suggest that solar wind and plasma from stars could distort radio signals from distant intelligent life, making them harder to detect. This means past searches may have overlooked potential evidence by focusing on narrowband signals. Adjusting detection methods could improve future chances of discovery.
