In May 2024, an epic solar storm rattled Earth so powerfully that its effects were felt even at the bottom of the ocean.

Solar flares The most common form of solar storms, these intense bursts of radiation from the Sun release enormous amounts of energy, comparable to billions of hydrogen bombs. Coronal mass ...

A superflare is an exceptionally powerful electromagnetic emission from a star, releasing energy equivalent to a trillion hydrogen bombs, far beyond the solar flares recorded to date. Figure 1 - ...

Here’s how it works. Shining loops of plasma on the surface of the sun "flicker" hours before they unleash potentially dangerous solar flares, a new study shows. The new findings could help ...

This breakthrough was achieved using the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST), a nuclear fusion reactor often referred to as the "artificial sun." A Step Toward Unlimited Energy ...

HONG KONG, Jan 21 (Reuters) - China broke its own records for new wind and solar power installations again last year, official data showed on Tuesday, accelerating from a breakneck pace set in ...

Intense solar flares—sudden bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun—can shoot out hazardous levels of energy strong enough to reach Earth’s atmosphere. Predicting solar flares, ...

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.

Brightness changes in coronal loops may predict solar flares Study improves forecasting with 60–80% accuracy 2–6 hours before events Findings could protect space missions and terrestrial technologies ...

Of course, it isn’t all that surprising to learn that solar flares will increase over the coming years. In fact, the Sun has been slowly increasing the rate at which it expels energy and solar ...
