Scientists are investigating a mysterious "solar hedgehog" seen on the surface of the Sun. The European Space Agency (ESA) has revealed a trove of images captured by its Solar Orbiter . NASA and the UK Space Agency also contributed to the project. After passing within the orbit of Mercury, the probe was able to capture images of the solar hedgehog, a solar flare, the Sun's south pole, the Sun's magnetic activity and a full view of the Sun. David Berghmans, from the Royal Observatory of Belgium, described the images of the lower layers of the Sun's atmosphere as "really breathtaking".

The world must brace for apocalyptic food price rises in the face of surging inflation if Ukraine is unable to ship wheat and cooking oils out of its main ports because of a Russian blockade, the Governor of the Bank of England has warned. Andrew Bailey said on Tuesday morning that he was “very uncomfortable” because rises in inflation – driven by a series of external shocks, including the war and supply chain issues caused by lockdowns in China – were creating a “very big income shock” that could intensify in coming months and risk double-digit inflation before the end of the year. “That is a major worry, and it is not just a major worry for this country, it is a major worry for the developing world as well. Sorry for being apocalyptic, but that is a major concern.” Russia’s invasion of its neighbour sent wheat prices to a 14-year high in March , with global prices for grains, cooking oils, fuel and fertiliser rising at the fastest rate in 30 years as the conflict disrupts … [Read more...] about ‘Apocalyptic’ food shortage threatens, says Bank of England governor
