Solar flares are the most explosive energy-release events in the solar corona, leading to intense particle acceleration, plasma heating and bulk plasma motions on short timescales. Core questions during solar flares remain unresolved,
Scientists spotted patterns hours before a major solar flare, a discovery that could help forecast dangerous eruptions.
A powerful M5.7 solar flare erupted from the sun on May 10, unleashing an impressive coronal mass ejection (CME) that could deliver Earth a glancing blow tonight and potentially spark northern lights displays at high latitudes.
Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation from the sun's surface, which can wreak havoc on Earth's power grids, damage orbiting satellites, and pose serious radiation risks to astronauts. Yet despite decades of study,
Space enthusiasts have been put on alert after NASA released a stunning image of multiple solar flares. The solar flares event peaked Wednesday morning and was viewed from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory.
Keep your eyes on the sky tonight: the sun is putting on a rare show, and it’s dragging the Northern Lights further south than usual, potentially reaching parts of the U.S. and Europe rarely illuminated by auroras.
Astronomers in a recent breakthrough have proposed a new protective plan, aiming to shield Earth from destructive solar flares. According to a new study, the chemicals ejected from satellites
A powerful solar storm is expected to strike Earth on June 8, potentially creating dazzling auroras, disrupting communications and giving scientists a rare opportunity to study space weather.
An unusual phenomenon occurred on the surface of the sun Wednesday. “The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on June 3, peaking at 7:28 a.m. ET,” NASA, the federal body constantly watching the sun through its Solar Dynamics Observatory,

Three back-to-back solar flares triggered radio blackouts, and tomorrow’s G3 geomagnetic storm could push auroras deep into the northern US
A string of solar flares over the past two days has disrupted high-frequency radio communications across parts of Earth, and three coronal mass ejections now heading toward the planet are expected to collide with its magnetic field on June 4 and 5.
