Elusive waves in the solar corona observed for the first time

— 18:02 GMT | Astronomy

Scientists for the first time have observed elusive oscillations in the solar corona, known as Alfven waves, that transport energy outward from the surface of the Sun. The discovery is expected to give researchers more insight into the fundamental behaviour of solar magnetic fields, eventually leading to a fuller understanding of how the Sun affects Earth and the solar system. The research, led by Steve Tomczyk of the National Centre for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), is being published this week in Science…

Mars rovers continue to persevere in hard conditions

— 14:54 GMT | Astronomy

The NASA's Mars rovers Spirit and Opportunity continue to persevere in hard conditions. It is clearly visible in images of the sun they are sending. The images show how opaque the Martian atmosphere has been in the face of a very active, two-month dust storm. To understand the gravity of the storm, engineers and astronomers monitored the situation by examining the images and measuring the amount of dust or the opacity of the atmosphere…
