Federal forecasters are warning that a powerful X-class solar flare could trigger strong radio blackouts and strain power ...

After a calm week, the sun erupted again. A powerful M5.1 solar flare burst from an emerging sunspot region, shaking the stillness of space weather and igniting new forecasts of heightened activity.

An X-class solar flare has produced an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection, increasing solar activity and raising the likelihood of geomagnetic impacts within 24 hours.

The forecasting of solar flares is a rapidly evolving field that combines observational solar physics with the latest developments in machine learning and statistical modelling. Solar flares are ...
