The massive sunspot that sparked an "extreme" geomagnetic storm in May 2024 unleashed hundreds of other dangerous solar ...
After a calm week, the sun erupted again. A powerful M5.1 solar flare burst from an emerging sunspot region, shaking the ...
The Sun has just unleashed an M5-class solar flare, a powerful burst of radiation that signals a clear uptick in solar activity as the current cycle heads toward its peak. While this event is not the ...
Researchers followed a single solar hotspot for 3 months as it unleashed nearly 1,000 flares, revealing insights about our Sun's fury.
Solar wind speeds remain elevated as an incoming coronal mass ejection approaches Earth, with forecasts indicating increased ...
Our planet was rocked by some of the worst geomagnetic storms in more than 20 years. Triggered by a slew of solar flares, the ...
A dark, sharply defined opening in the Sun’s outer atmosphere has grown at an unusually fast pace, doubling in size in ...
While the Sun’s solar flares strongly correlate with sunspots, observations of more than 14,000 other stars show this is not generally the case.
OVRO-LWA radio data contrasts a quiet day (Sept. 29, 2025) with the hours after the X1.7-class flare recorded at 2:35 ET on Nov. 9. The type III radio bursts, shown in the radio dynamic spectrum ...
A G2 storm, rated “moderate” on the five‑tier NOAA scale, can induce voltage irregu­larities in power systems and affect high ...
With the Sun still in an active phase there could be more spectacular Northern light displays in the year ahead.
What processes are responsible for heating solar flares and what dangers do they pose to Earth? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as an ...
