Sunspot region 4114 has fired off its strongest blast yet — an X1.2-class solar flare that erupted on June 17, triggering ...

After witnessing the array of Northern Lights as far south as Colorado, we discuss how Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) are formed and what impact they have on Earth.

SCIENCE Earth in the clear after sun emits largest solar flare in nearly 10-year cycle NOAA says, 'Not done yet,' as solar flare with magnitude of X8.7 is emitted from the sun ...

A massive solar flare erupted from the sun over the weekend, causing radio blackouts on Earth – and more could be on the horizon. The sun emitted the solar flare on Saturday, peaking around 10: ...

As solar activity ramps up in the sun’s 25th cycle, scientists worry that this week’s solar weather is merely prophesying a more disruptive solar flare, such as the one that hit Earth in 1859.

Despite X-class rating, solar flare not a threat to Earth. Weaker solar flares won't be noticeable here on Earth, but those with enough energy output to rank as an X-class have the potential to ...

The Earth's atmosphere is far more reactive to solar activity than scientists previously believed, with the new research showing it can pulse in near-synchronicity with the sun's powerful flares.

Solar flares can have an impact on Earth. They affect our planet’s magnetic field, which in turn can disrupt power grids and communications networks.

The radiation emitted from solar flares travels at the speed of light and can reach Earth from the sun in just over 8 minutes. As such, we don't have long to respond to such outbursts.

Solar flares hit earth all the time, and it's usually no big deal. Sometimes they cause relatively minor issues, like the one that hit in August 2023 and disrupted radio and navigation signals ...
