A decade of eclipse-era observations by researchers at the University of Hawai'i reveals turbulent structures in the Sun's outer atmosphere that originate from prominences and survive as they travel outward with the solar wind, providing new clues to coronal heating and space-weather effects on Earth.
NASA/JAXA’s XRISM X‑ray mission uses high‑resolution spectroscopy to measure gas motions around supermassive black holes, notably M87* and the Perseus cluster, unveiling the strongest turbulence seen near a black hole and the kinetic energy of surrounding gas. This helps explain how black holes heat their environments and influence galactic evolution; findings published late Jan 2026 in Nature and built on XRISM’s 2023 launch in collaboration with ESA.
Researchers at IISc have discovered that Ramanujan's century-old formulas for calculating pi are mathematically linked to modern physics theories describing black holes, turbulence, and critical phenomena, suggesting a deep connection between pure mathematics and the fundamental laws of the universe.
Physicists have developed a new advanced model of turbulent motion that could improve weather forecasting and make flying safer and more comfortable, especially as severe turbulence incidents are increasing due to climate change and other factors.
A United Express flight operated by SkyWest from Aspen to Houston encountered severe turbulence, causing a sudden drop and a diversion to Austin, where two passengers were hospitalized with non-life-threatening injuries. The flight experienced a rapid descent and was safely landed, with medical evaluations conducted for all onboard.
Turbulence on a flight caused 25 passengers to be hospitalized, according to Delta, highlighting the dangers of in-flight turbulence.
A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam encountered severe turbulence over the Rockies, causing 25 injuries and an emergency landing in Minneapolis. The turbulence was linked to storm activity and possibly climate change effects on jet streams.
A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was forced to make an emergency landing in Minneapolis after severe turbulence injured 25 passengers, highlighting increasing turbulence issues linked to climate change.
A Delta Airlines Airbus A330-900 made an emergency landing in Minneapolis after severe turbulence injured 25 passengers, leading to their hospitalization. The flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was diverted due to the turbulence, which caused significant injuries among the 275 passengers and 13 crew members onboard. This incident highlights the risks associated with severe turbulence during air travel.
A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam encountered severe turbulence, leading to a diversion to Minneapolis where 25 people were hospitalized for evaluation, with the aircraft landing safely and emergency responders assisting on arrival.
A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam was diverted to Minneapolis after encountering severe turbulence, resulting in 25 injuries and hospitalizations; the plane landed safely and medical assistance was provided to those affected.
A Delta flight from Salt Lake City to Amsterdam experienced severe turbulence, resulting in 25 passengers being hospitalized and the flight diverting to Minneapolis-St. Paul, where it landed safely.
Astronomers using FAST have discovered a highly complex, supersonic network of tangled filaments in the gas cloud G165, revealing that turbulence and magnetic fields, rather than gravity, shape early interstellar cloud structures, offering new insights into galactic evolution.
Five people were hospitalized after experiencing unexpected turbulence on American Airlines flight 1286 from Miami to Raleigh-Durham; the flight landed safely and the FAA is investigating the incident.
A Ryanair flight from Berlin to Milan made an emergency landing in Memmingen, Germany, due to severe turbulence caused by storms, injuring nine people onboard. The storm also caused damage to homes and infrastructure in the region, with authorities investigating the weather-related incidents. All passengers were safely transported by bus after the incident.
