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 ...

New research suggests the sun’s magnetic field originates 20,000 miles beneath the surface, much closer than the previously estimated 130,000 miles. This discovery could improve predictions of extreme ...

The last in a series of three coronal mass ejections hit Earth on Wednesday, so experts are keeping an eye on geomagnetic ...

Newly published research could help predict when there will be "powerful solar storms." According to Northwestern's McCormick School of Engineering, an international team of researchers found that the ...

NOAA and AccuWeather say a rare severe solar storm could make the aurora visible across Minnesota twice this week.

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 ...

Two new large solar flares over the last 36 hours have increased the chances of northern lights this week, here's the latest projections.

Increased solar activity causes auroras that dance around Earth’s poles, known as the northern lights, or aurora borealis, ...

An accompanying CME is forecast to reach Earth on Wednesday night, triggering a severe G4 geomagnetic storm (G5 is the ...

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Cell phones, television service, air navigation systems, and electric grids could all be degraded today as a result of the latest space weather incident, first detected early ...

Scientists said the sun erupted Tuesday morning, unleashing a strong X5.1-class flare in an intense outburst, causing ...
