‘Solar Flare’ is a weekly playlist column where Sun contributors spotlight a slice of musical taste with the campus community. It runs every Monday.
Scientists develop a forecasting system that predicts high-risk windows and regions for solar superflares, using 50 years of X-ray data and machine learning techniques.
The paper suggests that solar flares disrupt Earth's magnetic field, which, in turn, causes changes in the upper atmosphere.
Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ...

March could be the best month for the northern lights for nearly a decade — if the sun stays active
March 2026 could be the best month for the northern lights until the mid-2030s, as celestial mechanics and solar activity combine for potentially potent results.
Astronomers observed the sun without a single sunspot for the first time in over three years, hinting at a slowdown in Solar ...
“The definition of the solar maximum is when the sunspot number is at its highest,” Dr Rachel Howe, a solar physicist at the ...
Earlier this week, the number of visible sunspots on our home star fell to zero for the first time in 1,335 days. This ...
Solar Cycle 25 has reached its most active phase, bringing stronger solar flares and geomagnetic storms that may affect Earth’s technology.
