2020 is just around the corner but more discoveries in space are being made. The solar observatory at NASA recently discovered an unusual kind of magnetic explosion that occurred.
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory or SDO discovered a very unusual magnetic explosion that happened near the sun. In the upper regions of the star’s atmosphere, a loop of material that formed as a result of an eruption on the atmosphere referred to as a prominence was seen falling back into the sun. But just before the prominence would make it back, it crossed paths with magnetic field lines, leading to a magnetic explosion.
It is not the first time scientists have seen a magnetic explosion due to a process called magnetic reconnection, but what was unusual about this one was that it came as a result of an eruption that took place. This discovery will thus help scientists better predict the weather in space, as well as progress in terms of the controlled fusion and plasma experiments conducted in the lab. This will also help scientists in solving the mystery about the Sun.
Abhishek Srivastava of the Indian Institute of Technology explained that this discovery was “the first observation of an external driver of a magnetic reconnection.” He went on to say that this would be beneficial for scientists to be able to understand other systems better.
Meanwhile, Express previously reported that scientists from NASA, along with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology or MIT, have discovered the “ringing” of a black hole, further proving the theory of Professor Albert Einstein. The scientists have also further discovered that the ringing of the black hole would indicate the mass and spin of the black hole as well.
This discovery also proved that black holes lacked “hair” or what is referred to other characteristics outside Einstein’s three theorized properties of a black hole: mass, spin, and electric charge. With the use of Einstein’s equations, the researchers were able to predict what kind of attributes a black hole would have based on the ringing patterns.
Their calculations were the same to previous calculations that were already recorded. However, if it differed, then it would imply that the ringing of the black hole would be partly caused by characteristics other than mass, spin, and electric charge.
