Huge 'Sunspot archipelago' 15 times wider than Earth

(NASA/SDO/HMI)

One of the largest and most densely populated sunspot regions seen in more than a decade has appeared on the sun's nearside to Earth — and has begun to unleash a barrage of solar storms that are shaking up our home star's surface in a big way. The sunspots' emergence could make it an interesting few weeks for Earth, which will soon be in the firing line of these eruptive dark patches.

High-energy 'sun goddess' particle discovered

(Osaka Metropolitan University/L-INSIGHT, Kyoto University/Ryuunosuke Takeshige))

Over the years, scientists have managed to unveil the existence of quite a few intriguing particles, pushing the entire field of physics forward with each discovery. There's the "God Particle" for instance, aka the Higgs Boson that grants all other particles their masses. There's also the so-called "Oh My God!" particle, an unimaginably energetic cosmic ray. Now we have a new one. Meet the "Sun Goddess."

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for Starship

(Future/Josh Dinner)

Since I began covering the space beat, I have had the opportunity to attend numerous rocket launches in person, but seeing Starship was a completely different experience. Yes, it's a giant rocket — the largest ever built — and part of what makes seeing a rocket launch so amazing is the sheer enormity of size and power you feel when watching one take flight, but that's not what really set this one apart.
