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 studying 50 years of solar data warn Earth may be entering a heightened risk period for rare “superflares” capable of disrupting technology worldwide.
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.
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.
A powerful solar eruption from Active Region 4461 may trigger geomagnetic storms and rare auroras across northern India.
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.
A solar radio burst clung to the Sun for 19 days, smashing all records. Scientists traced it to a magnetic trap fed by three eruptions.
Astronomers propose space ‘airbags’ to shield Earth from massive solar storms - Shield could deflect destructive solar flares away from our planet
Sunspot AR3767 erupted with a X1.7-class solar flare, followed by an X1.1-class flare from sunspot AR3780. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the fireworks. Footage courtesy: NASA / SDO and the AIA,
