On October 9, astronomers discovered an extremely intense and persistent pulse of high-energy radiation that sent shockwaves to Earth.
A surge of X-rays and gamma rays swept through the solar system triggering detectors on NASA's Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope, Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory, and Wind spacecraft, among others.
The burst was detected by Orbiting High-energy Monitor Alert Network (OHMAN).
The burst was detected for nearly 10 hours and astronomers believe that the explosion was closer to us.
Scientists have named it GRB 221009A It originated from the direction of the constellation Sagitta
This phenomenal has ionized parts of the Earth's atmosphere and even managed to break some satellites.

Say cheese! 📸
Yesterday, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory caught the Sun "smiling." Seen in ultraviolet light, these dark patches on the Sun are known as coronal holes and are regions where fast solar wind gushes out into space.
While the ‘smiling Sun’ certainly makes for a fascinating picture and a remarkable phenomenon, experts say it could spell trouble for the Earth.
These coronal holes are sending a stream of solar wind towards the Earth. Because of that, there is a chance a solar storm could hit the Earth on Saturday (October 29).

Congrats to y'all computer nerds 🎉
🇮🇳 India's 1st-ever private launch of Vikram Suborbital rocket takes place at Satish Dhawan Space Centre, Sriharikota.
▪️ This mission is milestone in history of ISRO. A non govet entity, Start up Skyroot Aerospace Pvt Ltd had developed the single stage Vikram Suborbital rocket.

The first image you see is the radio waves emitted from a pulsar star's poles [Pic 3] piled line by line. The radio waves are emitted and beaming at Earth every 1.3 seconds but each wave is affected by dust clouds and other space factors leading to some variations everytime.
On 15 June 1979, The rock band Joy Division[Pic 2] turned the image into an album art for their "Unknown Pleasures" album debut.

Some scenes from @Ahamenes101 event, AASTU's Space Science club, where they invited a Russian Astronaut to give a speech at AASTU.
Dr. Sergey spent 185 days in orbit in from 2020 to 2021 working as a flight engineer alongside his Russian and American colleagues.

An 'Internet apocalypse' could ride to Earth with the next solar storm, new research warns
In short, a severe solar storm could plunge the world into an "internet apocalypse" that keeps large swaths of society offline for weeks or months at a time.
Tho very rare of severe solar storms happening it has happened before. And even tho local and regional internet aren't affected, the long undersea internet cables that connect continents are a different story.
These cables are equipped with repeaters to boost the optical signal, spaced at intervals of roughly 30 to 90 miles (50 to 150 kilometers). These repeaters are vulnerable to geomagnetic currents, and entire cables could be made useless if even one repeater goes offline.

This is one of the most impressive visualization I've ever seen

He shows the relative scale of planets, our solar system, stars, galaxies and most of all a black hole. It is sooo well done! 👏
The moment he visualized a 4.3 million solar mass blackhole is 🤯

On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.
