A record-breaking solar radio burst lasting 19 days was detected by NASA and ESA spacecraft, marking the longest such event ever observed. The burst, originating from a sunspot region, was captured by multiple probes including the Solar Orbiter and the Parker Solar Probe.
According to data verified from NASA and ESA sources, the radio burst began on April 27, 2026, and continued until May 15, 2026. This duration far exceeds previous records, which typically lasted hours or days. The event was associated with a series of solar flares and coronal mass ejections from the active region.
Scientists are analyzing the data to understand the mechanisms behind such prolonged emissions. The findings could improve predictions of space weather, which affects satellite communications and power grids on Earth. The probes' close proximity to the Sun allowed for unprecedented measurements.
