While scientists don’t exactly know the origin of the shock wave, they believe it originated from an ejection of highly magnetized, superheated gas emitted by the Sun. Sunspot AR3165 is believed to have triggered a series of…

Detailed images of a giant shock wave stretching 6.5 million light-years through space
(ORDO NEWS) — An international team of astronomers, led by researchers from the Hamburg Observatory, Germany, have captured the most detailed images of the largest shock wave ever observed in the history of astronomy. These observations are based on data collected by the MeerKAT radio telescope located in South Africa. Galaxies are not evenly distributed throughout the Universe, they are concentrated in the so-called clusters of galaxies, within which the…

Shock wave from the Tonga volcano eruption made the atmosphere ring like a bell
(ORDO NEWS) — The eruption of the Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai volcano last month triggered a tsunami that destroyed villages, resorts and cut off communications for a local population of about 105,000. The resulting shock wave propagated at close to the speed of sound, propelling large waves across the Pacific Ocean to the coasts of Japan and Peru, thousands of miles away. Prediction models and warning systems designed to estimate the…
