A research team led by Dr. Shen Jinhua from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated rapid spatiotemporal vertical electric currents (VECs) ...

Sunspot region 4114 has unleashed its most powerful solar flare yet — an X1.9 class that erupted late June 19, triggering ...

For the current solar cycle, solar maximum is expected in 2025. When a solar flare or CME reaches Earth, it does so on the sun-facing, "day" side of the planet.

Solar flares, blasts of plasma gasses of solar energy might shape the short-term weather on distant planets according to a ...

During this period, known as solar maximum, the Sun has the most sunspots, solar flares, and CMEs. As the current cycle—Solar Cycle 25—is predicted to reach its peak this year, we can expect ...

The flare clocked in at X7.1 – the second most powerful flare of the current solar cycle, and one of the most powerful solar flares ever measured, sitting within the top 30 flares over the last ...

A solar flare on July 23 was even bigger than a previous one that triggered May's global aurora storm, but this one was facing away from Earth on the far side of the sun.

NASA states this is the second strongest solar flare of this current solar cycle. The solar flare on May 14 of this year was the strongest so far, ranked at X8.7 in strength.

Oct. 3 (UPI) --The sun released a powerful solar flare to start the month of October, which could lead to supercharged aurora displays over the weekend. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

Thursday’s strong X9.0 solar flare, the strongest of the current solar cycle, followed Tuesday’s X7.1 solar flare, increasing the chances the aurora borealis could dip far into the nation’s ...

Solar flares can reshape exoplanet atmospheres within days, affecting temperature, winds, and potential habitability.
