☀️ A giant solar prominence has just broken away from the Sun — one of the largest this year, according to Russia’s Space Research Institute (IKI RAS).
This time, we got lucky. Scientists say that if it had happened a day later, Earth would have been grazed by the edge of the blast — and if two days later, we’d have taken a direct hit.
Fortunately, the plasma cloud is heading safely into deep space, missing all planets.
Still, the spectacle was breathtaking — a fiery arch of superheated plasma tens of thousands of kilometres high, briefly suspended above the solar surface before being hurled away into the void.

⚠️ Tumor-secreted protein may be a key to treat brain tumor
Targeting a protein called endocan and its related signaling pathway could be a new approach for treating glioblastoma, an aggressive and lethal type of brain cancer. The researchers discovered that endocan, which is produced by endothelial cells lining blood vessels in the tumor, activates PDGFRA, a receptor on glioblastoma cells that drives tumor growth and makes the cancer resistant to standard therapies such as radiation. They suggest a path toward the development of therapies that specifically inhibit this interaction.
