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.

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.

Scientists studying 50 years of solar data warn Earth may be entering a heightened risk period for rare “superflares” capable of disrupting technology worldwide.

Northern lights are projected across the Northern U.S. and Europe tonight as Earth gets hit by a strong solar eruption.

Chemicals fired from satellites at the edge of the Earth 's magnetic field can act as "airbags" to shield the planet from devastating solar flares, a new study suggests. Solar flares are streams of high-energy particles ejected from the Sun that can disrupt radio communications and fry satellite electronics.

The explosion on the Sun’s surface, which launched the cloud, originated from Region 4461 and was categorised as an M1.8 mid-range solar flare.

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.

A powerful solar eruption from Active Region 4461 may trigger geomagnetic storms and rare auroras across northern India.
