The event occurred in 2012, near the local maximum of sunspots that can be seen in this graph.. At 02:08 UT on 23 July 2012, a large coronal mass ejection (CME) was launched from the Sun. [3] The eruption emanated from solar active region 11520 and coincided with what was at most an X2.5-class solar flare. [4]

The investigation found that cold weather conditions caused an O-ring seal to fail, allowing hot gases from the shuttle's solid rocket booster (SRB) to impinge on the external propellant tank and booster strut. The strut and aft end of the tank failed, allowing the top of the SRB to rotate into the top of the tank and causing it to explode.

Several probes have reached Solar escape velocity, with Voyager 1 being the first to cross after 36 years of flight the heliopause and enter interstellar space on August 25, 2012, at distance of 121 AU from the Sun.

Space is very big and quite often, very weird. Last week, an image captured by NASA's Reconnaissance Orbiter looked just like a bear, and "The Green Comet" reached its closest point to Earth in ...
An example of space weather: Aurora australis in the Earth's atmosphere observed by Space Shuttle Discovery, May 1991. Space weather is the environmental condition within the Solar System, including the solar wind. It is studied especially surrounding the Earth, including conditions from the magnetosphere to the ionosphere and thermosphere.
Minutes after launch, the 400-foot unmanned rocket, which was designed to transport people and material to the Moon and Mars, exploded. The tallest and most powerful rocket ever built launching.
