A burst of solar activity at the end of June has drawn the attention of space weather forecasters around the world after a powerful eruption from the Sun briefly disrupted radio communications across parts of North America and the Pacific. While the interruption itself lasted only a short period, scientists are now focused on a much larger development moving through space behind it.The event originated from an active region known as sunspot AR4479, which released a powerful X-class solar flare on June 30.

A giant world orbiting a distant sun-like star has given astronomers an unexpected glimpse into the weather systems of some of the coldest known exoplanets. Using observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers have identified evidence of salt-rich clouds in the atmosphere of GJ 504 b, a massive gas giant often referred to as the Pink Planet because of its distinctive rosy appearance.The discovery adds a new layer to scientists' understanding of planetary atmospheres beyond the Solar System.

Earth four billion years ago was very different from the world today. Rather than having firm continents surrounded by oceans, the planet appears to have endured millions of years of repeated asteroid strikes.
