After a calm week, the sun erupted again. A powerful M5.1 solar flare burst from an emerging sunspot region, shaking the ...

The Sun has just unleashed an M5-class solar flare, a powerful burst of radiation that signals a clear uptick in solar activity as the current cycle heads toward its peak. While this event is not the ...

Researchers followed a single solar hotspot for 3 months as it unleashed nearly 1,000 flares, revealing insights about our Sun's fury.

Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most ...

An international team of researchers tracked the active solar region using the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint NASA and ...

In the span of two days last week, the sun released two strong solar flares — meaning the solar system experienced its most powerful explosions which can cause some communications blackouts on Earth, ...

Solar wind speeds remain elevated as an incoming coronal mass ejection approaches Earth, with forecasts indicating increased ...

Referred to as a “stealth storm,” a recent coronal mass ejection went undetected until it hit Earth. Stealth coronal mass ejections are more common after the Sun transitions from the solar maximum to ...

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

What processes are responsible for heating solar flares and what dangers do they pose to Earth? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as an ...

The sun is not a static, tranquil sphere of gas, but an active, turbulent star with magnetic fields that twist and snap in powerful eruptions. Among the most striking and energetic of these eruptions ...
