A NASA Goddard-led study argues that past estimates of solar-storm severity were biased by erroneous measurements, suggesting there may be no upper limit to the energy solar wind can transfer to Earth's magnetosphere; this implies extreme one-in-a-thousand-year events could pose greater risks to satellites, GPS, and communications than previously recognized.
Combined data from the Hubble and James Webb space telescopes suggests that the discrepancy in measuring the universe's expansion rate, known as the 'Hubble Tension', may not be due to measurement errors, indicating a potential misunderstanding of the universe. This finding prompts further investigation into the influence of dark energy and the connection between the universe's beginning and present state, with upcoming observatories like NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope set to study the mystery.
