Thousands of solar tornadoes swirl above the sun’s surface at any given moment. These remarkable photos give us a glimpse at these stunning cosmic phenomena.

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

Some exoplanets in their stars' habitable zones may be distinctly uninhabitable due to solar flaring. Red dwarfs are known for powerful flaring, and since they're dim and their habitable zones are ...

As if to prove the difficulty of preparing for the unforeseen, the organizer of a recent prepper convention wasn’t ready for ...

Princeton physics experiment aims to shed light on disruptive solar flares The multimillion-dollar experiment that was years in the making comes as the federal government makes broad cuts to science ...

Texas may face potential disruptions from incoming solar flares, risking power grid failures, communication blackouts, and GPS issues during severe solar storms. Scientists are closely monitoring ...

Stars can throw high‑energy tantrums. Their sudden bursts of X‑ray and ultraviolet light, known as solar flares if they come from the Sun and stellar flares when they happen on other stars, pump out ...

NASA’s PUNCH mission tracks coronal mass ejections from the Sun to Earth for the first time, offering new insight into space weather.

Enhanced X-rays due to solar flare bursts can lead to a significant increase in electron density in the lower ionosphere, which can change the height of reflection at the base of the ionosphere. A ...

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.
