  2. Satellite flare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Satellite_flare

    It is caused by the reflection toward the Earth below of sunlight incident on satellite surfaces such as solar panels and antennas (e.g., synthetic aperture radar). Streaks from satellite flare are a form of light pollution that can negatively affect ground-based astronomy, stargazing, and indigenous people. [1] [2] [3] [4]

  3. Solar flare - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_flare

    A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere. Flares occur in active regions and are often, but not always, accompanied by coronal mass ejections, solar particle events, and other eruptive solar phenomena. The occurrence of solar flares varies with the 11-year solar cycle.

  4. Ecological light pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecological_light_pollution

    Ecological light pollution [1] is the effect of artificial light on individual organisms and on the structure of ecosystems as a whole.. The effect that artificial light has upon organisms is highly variable, [2] and ranges from beneficial (e.g. increased ability for predator species to observe prey) to immediately fatal (e.g. moths that are attracted to incandescent lanterns and are killed by ...

    Black carbon in the lower atmosphere is a major contributor to 7 million premature deaths caused by air pollution every year. [43] Its presence is particularly visible, as the so-called "brown clouds" appear in heavily polluted areas. In fact, it was 1970s research into the Denver brown cloud which had first found that black carbon particles ...

  6. GE wants to use CO2 pollution to make huge solar batteries

    The idea is to use solar power from mirrors to heat salt with a concentrated mirror array like the one at the Ivanpah solar plant in California. Meanwhile, CO2 stored underground from, say, a coal ...

  7. Solar phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_phenomena

    A solar flare is a sudden flash of brightness observed over the Sun's surface or the solar limb, which is interpreted as an energy release of up to 6 × 10 25 joules (about a sixth of the total Sun's energy output each second or 160 billion megatons of TNT equivalent, over 25,000 times more energy than released from the impact of Comet ...
