A 3-D picture of an dynamic sun reveals sunspots and "wonderful dynamic parts in beautiful details," according to NASA's Solar energy Characteristics Observatory. (See where you can get 3-D eyeglasses to better appreciate this picture.)

A highly effective sun storm—associated with the second greatest solar width of the present 11-year sun cycle—hit World the other day.

Despite alerts of possible GPS, devices, and energy breakdowns, Thursday's sun weather was a softy, experts say.

Auroras happen when thousands of incurred contaminants from the sun experience Global attractive safeguard. Most of these contaminants get corralled toward the Posts, where they throw into environmental smells such as nitrogen and fresh air.

The fishers' lighting clean out any starlight on the horizon—a common trend globally.

Two-thirds of humankind life under air impure with light, and one-fifth can no longer see the Milky Way, according to Nationwide Geographical journal.

A dirt demon portrays a snake-like darkness over Mars in a "stunning" picture published this week by the HiRISE camera group.

Martian dirt challenges, which can structure five to six kilometers (eight to ten kilometers) high, form when summer heat gets the earth hotter than the air above it.

As warm air close to the earth goes up, plumes of chilly air fall to substitute it, developing straight movement. If a strong gust of wind hits through, it can deliver the moving air rotating side, leading to a dirt demon.

The shown dirt plume's darkness indicates it gets to more than 0.5 kilometer (0.8 kilometer) high.

A landslide-riddled part of the Martian canyn Ius Chasma is seen in a new picture by the European Space Agency's High Image resolution Stereo system Camera.

Spanning 584 kilometers (940 kilometers), Ius Chasma types the south border between the western half of an tremendous area program called Valles Marineris and the Martian highlands.

In the same process that established Global Eastern Africa Rift, the Martian brown crust area divided and established the huge canyn program, one of the solar body biggest.
