Solar flares, the sudden bursts of radiation that erupt from the Sun’s atmosphere, have become a topic of intense scrutiny ...

From communications outages to a brush with nuclear war, solar events like flares and coronal mass ejections have shaped ...

A new giant sunspot, active region 4246, is now visible from Earth. Scientists believe another, even larger region is emerging. This solar activity could cause minor geomagnetic storms and disrupt ...

Solar flares can be many times the size of Earth and can damage things like satellites. A new study suggests that eruptions from the sun can be even hotter than researchers thought. Solar flares are ...

Scientists at the University of Hawaiʻi have discovered why it rains on the Sun. Solar rain, made of cooling plasma, forms ...

The European Space Agency has conducted its most severe solar storm simulation yet, warning that a Carrington-level ...

The forecasting of solar flares is a rapidly evolving field that combines observational solar physics with the latest developments in machine learning and statistical modelling. Solar flares are ...

New ESA simulations suggest that a solar storm on par with the 1859 Carrington Event could wreak havoc on Earth-orbiting ...

Threats from space aren't always obvious, but statistically, it's only a matter of time before one of them happens. One of ...

The sun is a dynamic part of our solar system, and it throws plasma and radiation out into space regularly. But not all of ...
