(NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, SDO/HMI Magnetogram) The active sun is kicking into overdrive and we could be in for yet more dazzling auroras. In the early morning hours yesterday, the sun unleashed the most powerful class of solar flare, in a potent X-class eruption. The solar flare peaked at 2:40 a.m. EDT (0640 GMT) and caused shortwave radio blackouts over the sunlit portion of Earth at the time of the eruption, Asia and the Indian Ocean.

Skywatching Supermoon: what is it and when is the next one? (Lorenzo Di Cola/NurPhoto via Getty Images) The next supermoon will be on Aug. 19 at 2:26 p.m. ET (1826 GMT) This will be the first of four supermoons in a row for 2024. A supermoon occurs when the full moon coincides with the moon's closest approach to Earth in its orbit. This makes the moon appear slightly brighter and closer than usual, though the difference is difficult to notice with the naked eye. According to Fred Espanak, eclipse expert and retired NASA astrophysicist, there will be four supermoons in 2024, in August, September, October and November. Full Story: Space(8/13)

Science & Astronomy How do you measure wind on Mars? Scientists have a plan (Chris Vaughan/Starry Night) Researchers have tested a suite of anemometers -- tools that measure wind speeds -- designed to operate on the surface of Mars. These would not be the first to take the Martian wind speed, to be clear, as landers have done that for quite some time. Even Viking 1 managed to grab some Martian wind measurements nearly fifty years ago. But, according to the researchers' findings, this system could allow future landers -- or future humans -- to measure Martian winds with more sensitivity than ever before. Full Story: Space(8/14)

This week at Yale Environment 360, journalist Jon Hurdle reports on how U.S. cities are coping with increasingly intense rainfall that is causing sewer systems to overflow. To stop contaminated stormwater from spilling into rivers, Philadelphia has gone all in on “green” infrastructure, but its rain gardens, swales, and permeable pavement are falling short against extreme storms.⁠ Other municipalities, by contrast, have doubled down on costly “gray” infrastructure that can better handle the flow. With climate change, says one advocate, cities across the country “are going to need to bite the bullet and make large-scale investments in conventional sewage infrastructure.”⁠ Read the article.
