An M3-class solar flare that lasted about 3 hours created a massive coronal mass ejection. The Solar Dynamics Observatory ...

The sun has a bone to pick with Earth — and it’s not done yet. A colossal solar storm just zapped the daylight side of the planet, causing global blackouts and knocking out radio signals across Europe ...

Research by university scientists suggests that solar flares may be far hotter than previously believed, offering new insights into the Sun’s behavior. The findings, recently published in the ...

The sun unleashed another strong X-class solar flare overnight, stronger than the one that occurred on Tuesday — an X2.7, the strongest so far this year. X-class flares are the strongest and most ...

The sun has emitted a powerful solar flare that has the capability to interfere with technology on Earth. The explosive burst of radiation peaked on the evening of June 17, matching the intensity of ...

The M4.4 solar flare unleashed a coronal mass ejection (CME) into space — and Earth might just receive a glancing blow. Sunspot region 4168 is certainly making quite a name for itself! Earlier this ...

A high-powered solar flare erupted from the sun last week, causing a major radio blackout in Europe and Asia. The eruption happened at 3:25 a.m., meaning that the sun wasn't in the Texas sky at the ...

A high-magnitude solar flare erupted from a new sunspot on the sun’s surface, which caused a disruption of radio signals across Earth’s Eastern Hemisphere on Tuesday. Classified as an X2.7 solar flare ...

This is the conclusion of researchers from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, who found that the positively charged ions in solar flares—one of the two key components of solar plasma—can be ...
