World's Largest Solar Telescope Captures New Photo for Solar Activity
Rana Atef
On Thursday, the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) scientists, which is the world's largest telescope for studying solar activity, developed the Visible Tunable Filter (VTF) to study the solar storms.
This camera of VTF's addition "will complete its initial arsenal of scientific instruments," according to Carrie Black, director of the National Solar Observatory.
Matthias Schubert, project scientist, explained: "The significance of the technological achievement is such that one could easily argue the VTF is the Inouye Solar Telescope's heart, and it is finally beating at its forever place."
The first image from the Inouye telescope's Visible Tunable Filter (VTF) camera shows a sunspot cluster many times larger than North America.
It shows a major clump of sunspots, dark blobs on the sun's surface caused by its intense magnetic field.

NRIAG: Egypt Lies 600 km Away from Seismic Belts
Rana Atef Dr. Sherif El-Hady, Head of the Earthquake Department at the National Research Institute of Astronomy and Geophysics, confirmed that Egypt's borders are about 600 kilometres away from the seismic belts, explaining that an earthquake is a sudden shake. The series of earthquakes that occurred in Egypt over the past few days are a result of unexpected seismic activity. El-Hady added, during a phone interview on the program "Al-Hayat Al-Youm" with journalist Mohamed Mostafa Sherdy, broadcast on Al-Hayat Channel, that the sudden seismic activity is due to the nature of the land, and it may subside for long periods. He emphasized that the recent earthquakes are not an indication of a large-scale earthquake or a disaster. He continued, 'The duration of the most recent earthquake was 12 seconds, and it could vary if you are farther from the coast. The farther you are, the shorter the duration. We conduct studies for every earthquake that occurs, and these studies might continue for years to fully understand this phenomenon.' read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan

Trump Withdraws Jared Isaacman's Nomination to Lead NASA
Israa Farhan Former US President Donald Trump has officially withdrawn the nomination of billionaire entrepreneur Jared Isaacman to head the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). The move comes amid reports that Isaacman's past political donations to prominent Democrats may have influenced the decision. Isaacman, a known ally of SpaceX founder Elon Musk, was originally nominated by Trump on December 4, 2024. In April 2025, the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation recommended his appointment, indicating a likely confirmation. However, Trump announced on Sunday through his social media platform, Truth Social, that he would be selecting a new nominee for NASA Administrator, promising a leader who will prioritize American dominance in space exploration. The reversal marks a significant shift in Trump's space policy strategy during his ongoing campaign efforts, as he continues to place a high emphasis on revitalizing US space leadership. Isaacman, founder of the payment company Shift4 and commander of the first all-civilian spaceflight (Inspiration4), was widely seen as a bold choice with both business and private spaceflight experience. The decision to rescind Isaacman's nomination has stirred discussion in political and aerospace circles, particularly given his ties to both the private space sector and past bipartisan contributions. Critics and analysts alike view the withdrawal as part of Trump's broader effort to align top appointments with his political base ahead of the 2024 election cycle. As the search for a new NASA chief begins, the next nominee will face significant expectations to accelerate space exploration programs, enhance US competitiveness in low Earth orbit, and potentially shape the future of Artemis missions to the Moon and beyond. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
