An enormous solar prominence, measuring roughly 80 times the diameter of Earth, has detached from the Sun’s surface. The report comes from the Solar Astronomy Laboratory of the Russian Academy of Sciences’ Space Research Institute, as cited by RIA Novosti.
According to researchers, the structure—informally nicknamed the “royal prominence”—formed during the night of November 20. By the time it separated from the Sun, its length exceeded one million kilometers.
Scientists suggest that the source of the solar activity that triggered this colossal phenomenon lies on the far side of the Sun, hidden from direct observation. They also note that a similarly large plasma cloud erupted from nearly the same region three days earlier.

10 Oct. 10:05Starting November 1, 2026, Turkey will restrict access to social media platforms for children under the age of 15 following a new regulatory decree issued by the Presidential Cyber Security Directorate and published in the Resmi Gazete. Under the new framework, users aged 15 to 18 will undergo mandatory age verification through the "e-Devlet" portal. Accounts for this age group will feature default private settings, with explicit bans on live streaming, targeted behavioral ads, and profile recommendation algorithms.
Social media networks are also required to provide parents and legal guardians with control tools to monitor usage time, location tracking, and financial transactions. Existing active accounts must complete the age verification process by March 31, 2027.
