Artificial intelligence can be used to detect coronal holes in the Sun’s upper atmosphere, an international research team has shown. When observed at extreme ultraviolet (EUV) wavelengths, holes can appear in the Sun’s corona – its upper atmosphere. Coronal holes are indicated by red contour lines. Courtesy: Jarolim et al.

OK, on to methane in the environment: The headline here – whether you’re talking about atmospheric concentrations, climate impacts, or emissions – is that there is a lot less methane than CO 2 , but it’s a more potent climate heater and it’s increasing faster. Atmospheric concentrations. Climate impact. W/m 2 from elevated CO 2.

This could help put measures in place that limit damage to technology and energy grids on Earth from the electromagnetic radiation. Palmerio and collaborators looked at four stealth CMEs that occurred between 2008 and 2016. The novel imaging techniques applied to remote sensing data of the coronal mass ejection on 08 Oct 2016.

The correlation had been shown in a paper by an author outside the conventional scientific community, so, for good measure, Simpson added that a non-expert could not properly appreciate how atmospheric circulation affects the absorption of radiation. Other little-known researchers, however, made essential progress too.

But if primordial black holes (PBHs) did form as early as one second after the Big Bang, during the “radiation dominated” era, things would be different. As Hawking had first realized, black holes evaporate over time, via Hawking radiation. Black holes formed much later, only after the first ancient stars had died.

The fact that there is a natural greenhouse effect (that the atmosphere restricts the passage of infra-red (IR) radiation from the Earth’s surface to space) is easily deducible from; i) the mean temperature of the surface (around 15ºC) and, ii) knowing that the planet is normally close to radiative equilibrium.

The impact of cosmic radiation is not always as trivial as determining who wins a Super Mario game, or as positive in its outcome. The culprit, again, was most likely cosmic radiation.
