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

(NEXSTAR) — The sun, going through an active bout of Solar Cycle 25, spit out another intense flare over the weekend, bringing parts of the U.S. yet another chance at seeing the northern lights. On ...

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 ...

Researchers account for constant change in plasma's composition within models centered around the solar atmosphere.

A sunspot on the surface of our volatile star exploded yesterday, sending an extremely powerful solar flare flashing through space towards the Earth. The flare, which hit an X7.1-class in strength, is ...

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 ...

The sun has become more and more active over the last 16 years, in a turn that surprised scientists and could affect space weather, NASA said.

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 ...

A new study has uncovered a connection between solar flares—sudden outbursts of radiation from stars—and short-term weather patterns on distant Earth-like planets. Published in The Astronomical ...

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 ...

After weeks of reduced activity, the sun erupted with three powerful flares on a single day. That could send solar flares toward Earth, impacting electronics and making it possible to view the ...
