<p>A major release of intense solar flare from the Sun, which created a dazzling spectacle, was captured in detail by a NASA solar observatory.&nbsp;</p>

<p>However, when the eruption was closely observed, it appeared that a lot of solar material in the vast plasma plume had not been able to escape the grasp of&nbsp;the sun and the explosion turned into a failure.</p>

<p>In the video which was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory during an M-class&nbsp;solar flare, a huge plasma plume was seen rising from the surface of the sun, however, only to go back in an apparent "failed eruption".</p>

<p>Solar flares refer to the bursts of electromagnetic radiation which were released from the&nbsp;surface of the sun.&nbsp;</p>

<p>As per Spaceweather.com, electromagnetic radiation has been divided into different classes, which range from 1-10 (and beyond for X-class flares).</p>

<h2><strong>No northern lights with this solar flare</strong></h2>

<p>Since there was less eruptive material during the M-class solar flare, hence there were no chances of the appearance of northern lights.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Such solar eruptions can at times lead to impressive aurora across the world. On June 3, such powerful solar flares can be accompanied by a&nbsp;coronal mass ejection&nbsp;(CME), which is the release of plasma and magnetic field from the surface of the sun.&nbsp;</p>

<p>When Earth is hit by the CMEs, they can lead to geomagnetic storms which can create dynamic aurora that displays beyond their usual polar limits.</p>

A major release of intense solar flare from the Sun, which created a dazzling spectacle, was captured in detail by a NASA solar observatory. However, when the eruption was closely observed, it appeared that a lot of solar material in the vast plasma plume had not been able to escape the grasp of the sun and the explosion turned into a failure.

However, when the eruption was closely observed, it appeared that a lot of solar material in the vast plasma plume had not been able to escape the grasp of the sun and the explosion turned into a failure. In the video which was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory during an M-class solar flare, a huge plasma plume was seen rising from the surface of the sun, however, only to go back in an apparent "failed eruption".

As per Spaceweather.com, electromagnetic radiation has been divided into different classes, which range from 1-10 (and beyond for X-class flares). No northern lights with this solar flare Since there was less eruptive material during the M-class solar flare, hence there were no chances of the appearance of northern lights. Such solar eruptions can at times lead to impressive aurora across the world. On June 3, such powerful solar flares can be accompanied by a coronal mass ejection (CME), which is the release of plasma and magnetic field from the surface of the sun. When Earth is hit by the CMEs, they can lead to geomagnetic storms which can create dynamic aurora that displays beyond their usual polar limits. Watch: Sun launches strongest Solar flare of its current 11-year cycle However, the apparent "reeling in" of solar material noticed in the NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory footage showed no such eruption occurred. "It looks like nearly all of the plasma associated with the M4 flare eruption fell back into the Sun and was reabsorbed with just a small puff appearing in coronagraph imagery," said space weather forecaster and meteorologist Sara Housseal, in a post on X.

Fresh wave of violence hits Manipur: Firing and clashes reported

<p>A Canadian-based multinational apparel company— Lululemon— is facing massive criticism after it fired two of its female employees for trying to stop the robbers from stealing the products.</p>

<p>The incident occurred last month in Georgia’s Atlanta city in which three masked men blatantly robbed a Lululemon store located at Peachtree Corners.</p>

<p>They were recorded stealing Lululemon’s high-priced athletic wear from tables and displays. One of the employees had filmed the incident.</p>

<h2><strong>What happened?</strong></h2>

<p>The clip, now viral, shows the robbers—who have reportedly struck the store at least a dozen times prior—momentarily standing in the store doorway and staring at the women before jumping back inside to snatch several more pairs of leggings.</p>

<p>Soon after the robbery, the employees— Jennifer Ferguson and Rachel Rogers—had called the police to report the incident.</p>

<p>However, the company fired them over a Zoom call for allegedly breaking the company’s policy by calling the cops.</p>

<p>"We didn't really feel very protected or know what else to do," Rogers told local TV station 11Alive on May 30.</p>

<p>"We are not supposed to get in the way," Ferguson told the outlet.</p>

<p>"You kind of clear path for whatever they're going to do. And then, after it's over, you scan a QR code. And that's that. We've been told not to put it in any notes, because that might scare other people. We're not supposed to call the police, not really supposed to talk about it."</p>

<p>They also did not receive severance pay, they claimed.</p>

<h2><strong>CEO's reaction</strong>&nbsp;</h2>

<p>However, Lululemon CEO Calvin McDonald defended the company in Friday’s interview to CNBC.</p>

<p>“Once a robbery occurs, workers are instructed to scan a QR code. And that’s that. We’ve been told not to put it in any notes, because that might scare other people. We’re not supposed to call the police, not really supposed to talk about it,” he said.</p>

<p>McDonald said that such a policy is in place “because we put the safety of our team, of our guest, front and centre. It’s only merchandise.”</p>

<p>“They’re trained to step back, let the theft occur, know that there’s a technology and there’s cameras and we’re working with law enforcement,” he told CNBC.</p>

<p>McDonald claimed that the two fired female workers — one of whom was an assistant manager — were not fired for reporting the robbery to the cops, rather because they didn’t abide by company policy, which says employees shouldn’t engage with thieves.</p>

Walt Disney begins to fire 7,000 staff

<p>Cloud computing firm Salesforce announced on Wednesday that it was closing numerous offices and laying off roughly 8,000 workers, or nearly 10 per cent&nbsp;of its workforce. As the global economy enters a slump, Salesforce will now join fellow US digital giants like&nbsp;Twitter, Amazon, and Facebook-owner Meta in implementing layoffs. The California-based company claimed that last year's revenue decreased due to rife inflation and rising interest rates after experiencing excellent growth during the coronavirus pandemic.</p>

<p>"As our revenue accelerated through the pandemic, we hired too many people...and I take responsibility for that," Salesforce boss Marc Benioff said in a letter to employees.&nbsp;</p>

Cloud computing firm Salesforce announced on Wednesday that it was closing numerous offices and laying off roughly 8,000 workers, or nearly 10 per cent of its workforce. As the global economy enters a slump, Salesforce will now join fellow US digital giants like Twitter, Amazon, and Facebook-owner Meta in implementing layoffs. The California-based company claimed that last year's revenue decreased due to rife inflation and rising interest rates after experiencing excellent growth during the coronavirus pandemic. "As our revenue accelerated through the pandemic, we hired too many people...and I take responsibility for that," Salesforce boss Marc Benioff said in a letter to employees.

Following the news, Salesforce's stock increased by more than three per cent. The stock has dropped by around 44% in the last year. (With inputs from agencies) WATCH WION LIVE HERE:
