Keahi Pelkum Donahue, who graduated over the weekend from Nederland Middle Senior High School, was named one of the top 300 scholars in the 2025 Regeneron Science Talent Search.

At the heart of space weather, reconnection is responsible for powerful solar events, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), and drives disturbances in Earth's space environment.

A powerful solar flare occurred on May 31, originating from a sunspot known as sunspot 4100. This flare, classified as M8.2, lasted for more than three hours, which is quite unusual and indicates ...

The CME’s origin, an M8.2 flare from AR14100, was identified by Space Weather Live as a full-halo event, indicating an Earth-directed trajectory. The flare, peaking at 0005 UTC on May 31, also ...

The Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captured the sharpest-ever images of the sun’s surface, revealing ultra-fine bright and dark stripes called striations that are caused by powerful magnetic ...

Solar storms have the potential to cause catastrophic damage. One that occurred around the end of October 2003 (now called the 2003 Halloween Storm) caused an estimated $27B in damages. That ...
