The sun released a powerful solar flare followed by a fast-moving coronal mass ejection on January 18, resulting in a ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...

The massive sunspot that sparked an "extreme" geomagnetic storm in May 2024 unleashed hundreds of other dangerous solar flares, including a hidden X-class outburst, a new paper reveals. The study sets ...

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

The UK has been warned to expect a "severe" solar storm after the Sun blasted a powerful X-class solar flare in Earth's direction. The Met Office said geomagnetic activity is likely to increase with ...

At least one space launch has been put on hold, as satellite operators and rocket companies manage the effects of the current geomagnetic storm hitting Earth. A coronal mass ejection — giant solar ...

Studying an active region of the Sun for more than two weeks is tough, as it spins on its axis every 28 days. So, after the time passes, the active sunspot shifts further away from Earth, making ...
