When Opinions Clash Up until the ninth minute, the conversation was proceeding in a relatively calm manner. However, as the discussion delved deep into the allegations and the involved parties, it became increasingly bitter. Somm, despite not having seen the documentary, held a firm opinion. He argued that it was inappropriate to punish Läderach, particularly given that the current CEO was not involved in...

Coronal Mass Ejection and Solar Winds A coronal mass ejection (CME) reached Earth recently, causing a substantial increase in particle density of the solar wind, at around 20 particles per cubic centimeter. This resulted in a significant amount of radical oxygen (O+) at approximately 200 km altitude to glow. Solar storms are responsible for ejecting particles from the sun, which then travel through space as solar wind. When the solar wind collides with Earth, the particles are deflected towards the poles by the Earth's magnetic field. These charged particles from the sun stimulate the molecules of Earth's atmosphere, which then emit colored light that we see as the Northern Lights, or Aurora Borealis, and the Southern Lights, or Aurora Australis. However, witnessing these phenomena is extremely rare. The Colorful Northern and Southern Lights The different colors of the Northern and Southern Lights are a resu...
