Scientists locate origin of the sun’s magnetic field
– Scientists have developed a new mathematical model to better understand the origin of the Sun’s magnetic field. The model finds that the field is generated closer to the Sun’s surface than previously thought. – The model accounts for the Sun’s unique interior structure and took over a decade to develop using NASA supercomputers. Scientists […]

Germany Now Has So Much Solar Power That Its Electric Prices Are Going Negative
– Germany has installed a large amount of solar power capacity in recent years, installing 14,280 megawatts of solar capacity last year which is almost double compared to the previous year. – This high level of solar power generation has outpaced consumer electricity demand at times, pushing power prices down and even into negative territory, […]
Scientists have discovered a theoretically habitable, Earth-size planet
– Scientists have discovered an exoplanet called Gliese 12b orbiting a red dwarf star about 40 light years away. – Gliese 12b is estimated to be about 27% the size of Earth and falls within the habitable zone of its host star where liquid water could exist on its surface. – It orbits its star […]
