NASA releases videos of Sun’s massive M8.7 solar flare

by Laura Domela

We’ve been following the terrifying sounding but mostly harmless solar flare as summoned up by the Sun’s most recent solar storm as it hits the Earth in a dazzling display across the Northern half of the hemisphere. What NASA has posted in regards to the situation is not one, but two views of not the Earth, but the Sun as it flares up early this week. Photos of the aurora collection going on constantly for the past couple of days have been popping up across Flickr as well, a few choice slides provided for you here as well.

Want early design analysis without simulation?

Sponsored by Siemens Digital Industries Software

Traditional verification methods are failing today's complex IC designs, which require a proactive, early-stage analysis approach. A shift-left methodology addresses IP block integration challenges and the limitations of traditional simulation and ERC tools. Insight Analyzer detects hard-to-find leakage issues across power domains, enabling early analysis without full simulation. Identify inefficiencies earlier to reduce rework, improve reliability, and enhance power performance.

CBOT MULTIGIG Transceiver Platform

Sponsored by Mouser Electronics and TE Connectivity

In this episode of Chalk Talk, Anders Thelin from TE Connectivity and Amelia Dalton explore how the CBOT MULTIGIG transceiver platform helps address these challenges with a modular, high-performance approach to rugged, high-density connectivity. We also investigate how this platform supports next-generation system architectures, improves design efficiency, and enables robust performance in even the most demanding environments.
