Solar Storms Ignite Auroras: ISS Astronauts Take Cover and Watch
Stunning skies, serious risks Across the globe, vibrant auroras have lit up night skies as solar storms interact with Earth’s magnetosphere. While the spectacle captivates amateur stargazers and professional scientists alike, the same solar activity that paints the heavens with color also raises radiation levels in space. For astronauts aboard the International Space Station (ISS),…

JWST Captures Auroras on a Rogue World: SIMP-0136
JWST Sheds Light on SIMP-0136, a Rogue World The James Webb Space Telescope is offering a striking new look at SIMP-0136, a distant sunless world that glows with auroras brighter than Earth’s northern lights. Located roughly 20 light-years away, this object isn’t a planet in the traditional sense and isn’t a full-fledged star either. SIMP-0136…

James Webb Space Telescope Captures Auroras on a Rogue World
Discovery: Auroras Brighten a Rogue World The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has unveiled a striking phenomenon on SIMP-0136, a distant world that roams interstellar space without a parent star. Located roughly 20 light-years away, SIMP-0136 is about 200 million years old and is best described as a brown dwarf — a celestial object perched…
