Es sieht aus wie ein heller Lichtblitz im Spiegelbild einer Autoscheibe.
Doch ein atemberaubendes neues Bild der NASA zeigt tatsächlich eine gewaltige Sonneneruption – eine gewaltige Explosion in der Sonnenatmosphäre.
Das dramatische Ereignis ereignete sich am Donnerstag um 22:34 GMT (17:34 EST) und wurde vom Solar Dynamics Observatory der NASA erfasst, das die Sonne ständig beobachtet.
Experten gehen davon aus, dass die entstehende, auf die Erde gerichtete Strahlung Auswirkungen auf Stromnetze und Navigationssignale haben oder eine Gefahr für Raumfahrzeuge und

A row has erupted between cardiology experts and GP leaders over prescribing a breakthrough heart drug that could save tens of thousands of lives.
The medicine, called inclisiran, is a twice-a-year jab that slashes levels of so-called ‘bad’ cholesterol by more than 50 per cent after just two weeks. It has been approved for use on the NHS since 2021 for patients with stubbornly high cholesterol levels who have already suffered a heart attack.

Under decade-old guidelines, 95 per cent of casualty patients should be admitted, transferred or discharged within four hours of being seen.

As a pensioner who’d had type 2 diabetes for nearly ten years, Nazir Hussain was almost resigned to always feeling exhausted and taking medication for life.
The 67-year-old former postman from Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, weighed 14st (he is 5ft 8in) and was taking daily doses of metformin and high blood pressure medication after being diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2014.
‘I was out of puff just doing the gardening,’ he says. ‘It was miserable.’ Yet, within a year of beginning
One in six GPs have failed to provide patients with face-to-face appointments as many medics claim they are unable to meet demand, a new poll has found.
Doctors implemented a virtual appointment protocol during the first covid lockdown, meaning that less than half of patients were examined in-person. Before the pandemic, about 80 per cent of appointments were face-to-face.
NHS England reversed its ‘total triage’ policy, which encouraged doctors to deal with more cases remotely, in 2021 after all patients
GPs may be urged to refer Brits to life coaches instead of just automatically signing them off sick, it was claimed today.
