Scientists Detect Mysterious “Heartbeat-Like” Signals Coming from the Sun in a Solar Flare 3,100+ Miles Above Its Surface
Scientists have detected a mysterious “heartbeat-like” signal from our sun that repeats every 10 to 20 seconds.
The bizarre pattern was pinpointed to a C-class solar flare located 3,106 miles above the star’s surface.
The team, led by the New Jersey Institute of Technology, said uncovering the source of the heartbeat—the solar flare—could help scientists better understand how disastrous solar storms are released.
The team also discovered a second heartbeat in the flare.
“The repeating patterns are not uncommon for solar radio bursts,” Kou said.
“But interestingly, there is a secondary source we did not expect located along the stretched current sheet that pulses in a similar fashion as the main QPP source.”
