How a huge fleet of 17 spacecraft discovered something surprising about solar eruptions

How a huge fleet of 17 spacecraft discovered something surprising about solar eruptions

A coronal mass injection (CME) on the sun. (Image credit: ESA/NASA/Soho) A misbehaving coronal mass ejection (CME) that blew out a hidden cloud of charged particles aimed at Earth has been tracked by a record 17 spacecraft spread throughout the solar system, revealing the CME to be surprisingly lopsided. CMEs are “burps” from the sun

Aptera has found someone to build its solar car, and it is in Shanghai

Aptera has found someone to build its solar car, and it is in Shanghai

Aptera has partnered with Shanghai’s Launch Design on a manufacturing programme worth up to $44mn, covering tooling, testing and pilot production. Aptera pays two-thirds of the costs, while its latest filing reports $10.1mn in cash and substantial doubt about continuing as a going concern. Aptera has finally found someone to build its solar car. The

JOBURG ENERGY: My City Power plan, from rechargeable lights to an inverter and now solar

JOBURG ENERGY: My City Power plan, from rechargeable lights to an inverter and now solar

SA’s unreliable electricity grid is pushing households towards solar, but this shift should be accelerated rather than be penalised. A consumer-focused solar strategy could modernise the grid, create jobs and help lower energy costs… https://www.dailymaverick.co.za/article/2026-08-21-my-city-power-plan-from-rechargeable-lights-to-an-inverter-and-now-solar/

On this day in space! Aug. 21, 1914: Total solar eclipse expedition crashed by WWI

On Aug. 21, 1914, a total solar eclipse temporarily darkened skies across Europe and Asia. A young German astronomer and friend of Albert Einstein’s, Erwin Finlay-Freundlich, led an expedition to the Crimean Peninsula of Russia, where he hoped to record observations that would verify Albert Einstein’s general relativity theory. This theory predicted that the light

Austria announces energy storage offensive, shifting solar subsidy focus

Austria announces energy storage offensive, shifting solar subsidy focus

Austria plans to overhaul its solar subsidy framework from 2027, shifting support from standard PV systems toward battery storage, energy management systems and specialized solar applications. The government aims to accelerate storage deployment, with up to 8 GW of market-oriented capacity by 2030, while industry groups are urging swift implementation and clearer funding rules… https://www.pv-magazine.com/2026/08/21/austria-announces-energy-storage-offensive-shifting-solar-subsidy-focus/
