European Space Agency (ESA) successfully launched its Proba-V satellite on May 7, 2013 aboard a Vega rocked. This new earth watching satellite was deployed into its Sun-synchronous near-polar orbit at 820 km altitude just 55 minutes after launch. According to
Moderate solar flare measuring M3.2 erupted from Region 1748 on May 17, 2013 peaking at 08:57 UTC. A type II and IV radio emissions were associated with the event. Type IV emissions occur in association with major eruptions on the Sun and are typically
Active Region 1748 erupted with moderate solar flare measuring M1.3 at 21:53 UTC on May 16, 2013. This was another noticeable activity from this region after 4 X-class flares erupted on May 13/14. (X1.7 and X2.8 on May 13th, X3.2 and X1.2 on May 14th)

Scientists have created the first global topographic map of Saturn's moon Titan giving researchers a valuable tool for learning more about one of the most Earth-like and interesting worlds in the solar system. The map was just published as part of a paper in
On May 15, 2013 at 1:25 UTC another major solar flare started. The event peaked at 1:47 UTC as an X1.2 solar flare. It was associated with Type II and IV radio emission and a 10cm Radio Burst (Ten Flare) measuring 490 sfu. Type IV emissions occur in
A strong and very deep, harmless, earthquake M 6.8 struck Northern Mariana Islands on May 14, 2013 at 00:32 UTC. USGS measured depth at 601 km, EMSC at 605 km. Epicenter was located 39km (24mi) W of Agrihan, Northern Mariana Islands and 394km (245mi) N
The Sun is showing real solar-maximum-like activity today. After 2 moderate solar flares last night, an X1.7 erupted at 02:15 UTC. It was followed by another M-class at 12:03 UTC and numerous C-class flares.
At 15:48 UTC, on May 13,
A moderate solar flare measuring M1.9 was registered on May 12, 2013. The source of event was a region located on the eastern side and about to rotate into Earth's view. This event peaked at 20:31 UTC.
In early hours of May 12,
A moderate solar flare reaching M1.3 erupted on May 10, 2013 peaking at 12:56 UTC. The source was returning Active Region 1726 which already produced M3.9 flare today making this the second M-class eruption of the day. This same region was the source of large
A long duration, moderate, solar flare reaching M1.3 peaked at 16:53 UTC on May 3, 2013. The source of the event was Region 1731 still classified as Beta-Gamma-Delta and capable of more strong eruptions. This region has
