Did you know the Sun can reuse its energy? ☀️ ♻️ Images captured as NASA’s Parker Solar Probe made its record-breaking closest approach to the Sun in December 2024 have now revealed new details about how the Sun can recycle some of its magnetic energy — potentially redirecting solar storms and influencing whether they impact Earth or Mars.

Stanford researchers have developed a revolutionary type of solar panel that can generate electricity at night by capturing the Earth’s natural radiated heat. Instead of relying on sunlight, these panels use a thermoelectric generator that taps into the temperature difference between the cooling night sky and the warm ground — unlocking clean energy 24/7. Important Details: • Works by harnessing radiative cooling, where Earth releases heat into outer space • A built-in thermoelectric device conv
