A total of 125 member countries are participating in the assembly.
The Sun, the fiery heart of our solar system, has fascinated humanity for centuries. Despite the progress of modern science, many of its secrets remain locked away, particularly the mysteries of its outer atmosphere, the corona.
The Sun, our life-sustaining star, is also a for midable force capable of unleashing immense energy bursts. CMEs, massive eruptions from the Sun’s outer corona, travel at blistering speeds of up to 3,000 km/s, carrying charged particles that can disrupt satellites, knock out power grids, and interfere with communication networks.
Temperatures soared above 40 degrees Celsius in Delhi-NCR, Maharashtra, Gujarat and Rajasthan. IMD stated that heatwave conditions are likely to prevail in some districts in the . Northwest, Central and West India for the next four days.
During their investigations scientists have found that there has been a significant decrease in the mass, size and internal pressure of explosive phenomena of the sun.
The X1-class flare caused a temporary, yet strong radio blackout across the sunlit side of Earth centred on South America, according to the US Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC), which tracks space weather events.
Experts in north Bengal, along with the rest of the world, are keeping a close watch on this geomagnetic storm, as it may cause a major interference with GPS navigation, mobile phone signal and satellite TV and can also blow up electric transformers and cause power failures at many places around the world.
"In the past, we didn't know that stars could flare in the millimetre range, so this is the first time we have gone looking for millimetre flares," MacGregor said.
