Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ...

It’s notoriously difficult to predict when the sun will belch out a large solar flare — an explosive burst of radiation that ...

Flickering coronal "loops" on the Sun are warning signs of a coming solar eruption, paving the way for better space weather ...

There were significantly more X-class solar flares in 2024 than any other year for at least three decades. The arrival of solar maximum was a key reason for the spike, but other factors were also at ...

As the sun geared up to spit a powerful solar flare into space, NASA scientists snapped huge loops of plasma leaping from the sun's surface. These spectacular solar structures, known as coronal ...

Researchers have made a potentially crucial breakthrough in solar science that could help predict solar flares with greater ...

Scientists have long struggled to accurately predict solar flares, but a recent breakthrough using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has uncovered a promising new sign: flickering coronal loops. These ...

Auroral activity is best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time while at a high vantage point away from light pollution, ...

High solar activity levels have historically been linked to warmer temperatures, on average, across Earth, according to the ...

The Sun’s activity cycle continues to stir things up, as our star recently unleashed a massive X-class solar flare that was strong enough to cause radio blackouts across the south Pacific.
