Blasts that Create Gamma-Ray Bursts may Actually Exceed the Speed of Light

A new study indicates that blasts generating gamma-ray bursts may, in fact, exceed the speed of light in surrounding gas clouds, but do so without disobeying Einstein’s theory of relativity.

Plasma Motion Model may Explain Sunspots and Other Mysterious Solar Phenomena

Sunspots are dark patches that appear on the surface of the sun and can be seen for weeks at a time. Although people have tracked these sunspots for 400 years, they have not been able to elucidate why the number of sunspots always peaks every 11 years.
