On the Role of Chapman's Hydrostatic Solar Wind Mechanism in Parker's Hydrodynamic Solar Wind Model
Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: The role of Chapman's hydrostatic solar wind mechanism (resulting from a hydrostatic force balance condition) in Parker's hydrodynamic solar wind model is investigated by invoking the de Laval nozzle analogy for the production of flow acceleration in the latter model. The action of solar gravity in Parker's hydrodynamic solar wind model is shown to be geometrically equivalent to a enormalization of the actual wind channel area and the renormalization...
Solar farm on the ocean outperforms land-based solar in Taiwan
A solar farm in a tidal bay has generated more electricity and profits than a nearby coastal solar farm, but challenges could arise as floating solar moves further offshore
‘Coal power has lost its status’: Solar power outstrips coal in US despite Trump's attacks
States won by Trump in the 2024 election accounted for 74 per cent of all solar capacity installed in the first quarter of 2026. Even as President Donald Trump boosts coal over clean energy, solar power is hitting new milestones in the US and remains the leading source of new power. Data released on 10 June by global energy think tank Ember, along with a report by the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and analytics firm Wood Mackenzie, show the continued growth of solar and decline...
Sun erupts with 3 colossal solar flares in less than 24 hours, boosting chances for northern lights
Sun erupts with 3 colossal solar flares in less than 24 hours, boosting chances for northern lights A trio of major solar flares triggered radio blackouts across Earth and may spark impressive northern lights as possible solar storms head our way. Wow, the sun is certainly putting on quite a show this week. Our star just unleashed three powerful solar flares in less than 24 hours and potentially sending multiple coronal mass ejections (CMEs) hurtling toward Earth, raising the chances of...
Solar Cruiser Disturbance Torque Estimation and Predictive Momentum Management
arXiv:2601.00532v3 Announce Type: replace Abstract: This paper presents a novel disturbance-torque-estimation-augmented model predictive control (MPC) framework to perform momentum management on NASA's Solar Cruiser solar sail mission. Solar Cruiser represents a critical step in the advancement of large-scale solar sail technology and includes the innovative use of an active mass translator (AMT) and reflectivity control devices (RCDs) as momentum management actuators. The coupled nature of...
MeerKAT reveals three electron acceleration sites in one solar flare
MeerKAT reveals three electron acceleration sites in one solar flare Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Solar flares are the most explosive energy-release events in the solar corona, leading to intense particle acceleration, plasma heating and bulk plasma motions on short timescales. Core questions during solar flares remain unresolved, including how and where particle acceleration occurs, and how energized electrons propagate through coronal magnetic structures....
Rare 'cannibal' solar storm to spark Northern Lights spectacle in UK
Rare 'cannibal' solar storm to spark Northern Lights spectacle in UK A rare 'cannibal' solar storm is set to hit Earth and could result in a spectacular Northern Lights display across the UK - here's everything you need to know about the aurora borealis phenomenon Stargazers could be treated to a breathtaking display of the Northern Lights as a powerful solar storm barrels towards Earth, pushing auroras into regions that seldom get to witness them. Scientists say the dazzling spectacle could...
Meteorite found in Sahara desert may be 1st evidence of lost solar system world
Meteorite found in Sahara desert may be 1st evidence of lost solar system world "It points to a distinct and separate evolutionary path in planetary formation in the early history of our solar system." A rare meteorite recovered from the Sahara Desert contains the first definitive evidence of a long-lost world that may have rivaled the moon in size and existed just a few million years after the solar system formed 4.5 billion years ago, according to a new study. The meteorite, known as...
Radial evolution of Alfv\'en wave Parametric Decay Instability in the near-Sun solar wind: Effects of Temperature Anisotropy
arXiv:2604.22489v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Parametric decay instability (PDI) of Alfv\'en wave is thought to play an important role in the dissipation of the large-amplitude Alfv\'en waves and in the heating of magnetized plasmas. Temperature anisotropy is frequently observed by spacecraft, including Parker Solar Probe (PSP), in the near-Sun solar wind, yet its impact on PDI in the near-Sun solar wind has been understudied. We calculate the maximum growth rates of PDI,...
Households outshine business in Australia’s rooftop solar revolution, report finds
Australia leads world in residential solar per capita with 22GW installed but commercial and industrial sector has deployed only a quarter of thatGet our breaking news email, free app or daily news podcastAustralia’s revolution in rooftop solar has left behind commercial and industrial buildings where installations have lagged far behind homes, according to new analysis. Australia leads the world in residential solar on per capita terms, with 22GW installed as of last December. But...
