Solar physicists have long known that the sun stores staggering amounts of magnetic energy, but the exact trigger that lets ...

Sunspot AR3767 erupted with a X1.7-class solar flare, followed by an X1.1-class flare from sunspot AR3780. NASA's Solar ...

F or all of its life-sustaining energy, the sun is pretty chaotic. Roiling plasma covers its surface along with fluidic snarls of magnetic fields that birth solar flares. These fiery outbursts occur ...

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

Aurora alert! The colossal solar storm could impact and trigger impressive northern lights.

By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Forecasters at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center monitored a solar flare lasting for hours on Sunday. The Coronal Mass ...

The storm is also responsible for pushing the aurora farther south, giving some people across the southern U.S. a rare chance to see the northern lights.

A rare solar storm, the strongest in over 20 years, disrupted signals and lit skies with vivid auroras worldwide, raising ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...

The sun recently erupted with a potent X-class solar flare, triggering a fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) that is ...

Forecasters at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center monitored a solar flare lasting for hours on Sunday. The Coronal Mass Ejection that came with it could produce aurora for northern states and ...
