In the span of two days last week, the sun released two strong solar flares — meaning the solar system experienced its most powerful explosions which can cause some communications blackouts on Earth, ...

The sun unleashed two huge flares early Wednesday, one day after a NASA observatory captured a dramatic photo of a separate solar flare. The back-to-back eruptions included the strongest of the year ...

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured sunspot AR3386 blast a long-duration X1.6-class solar flare and X1 flare. See time ...

The sun has emitted a powerful solar flare that has the capability to interfere with technology on Earth. The explosive burst of radiation peaked on the evening of June 17, matching the intensity of ...

NASA captured an image of an intense solar flare released by the sun on Tuesday evening. The solar flare peaked at 5:49 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory said. It was an X-class ...

Large parts of the United States faced a radio blackout on Thursday following a strong solar flare from the sun. The "extreme ultraviolet flash" was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory ...

Today's solar flare forecasting is pretty straightforward. Earth has several instruments pointed at the sun that monitor it, and when a solar flare erupts, NOAA predicts whether it'll hit Earth and ...

A high-magnitude solar flare erupted from a new sunspot on the sun’s surface, which caused a disruption of radio signals across Earth’s Eastern Hemisphere on Tuesday. Classified as an X2.7 solar flare ...

An artificial intelligence model trained on NASA satellite imagery can forecast what the sun will look like hours into the future – even predicting the appearance of solar flares that may warn of ...

Considered our solar system's largest explosive events, solar flares can sometimes be as strong as a billion hydrogen bombs. Those with enough energy output to rank as an X-class have the potential to ...
