If scientists want to better understand solar storms and the cycles that drive them, they need longitudinal data, which they ...

Three days before a solar storm arrived on May 10, 2024, they watched as a dark knot on the sun — tangled magnetic field lines spanning 124,000 miles — took aim at the planet. “That's magnets twisting ...

Solar storms are vast eruptions of energy, particles, and magnetic fields released by the Sun. A new interactive map allows ...

Solar storms can change the Earth's weather even on short timescales of hours to days, according to a new study. The new study suggests that even discrete solar storms can cause intense and rapid ...

Solar storms can push GPS errors past 33 feet across the US, threatening farms, autonomous vehicles, and power grids — and the sun is still near solar maximum.

A gigantic solar eruption in November 2021 defied expectations. Two spacecraft—Solar Orbiter at 0.85 AU and Wind at 0.98 AU—watched the same coronal mass ejection (CME) as it zoomed through the solar ...

Using continuous imagery from NASA's PUNCH (Polarimeter to Unify the Corona and Heliosphere) mission, scientists predicted the near-Earth arrival of a solar eruption to within 30 minutes in an initial ...

The effects of extreme space weather may be larger than previously thought reveals research in the journal Nature. The Nature paper entitled “Regression to the mean can explain saturation of ...

Astronomers found evidence that solar storms and dust storms magnify heat synergistically on Mars, by as much as 90 degrees Fahrenheit (50 degrees Celsius). Reading time 3 minutes It took seven months ...

New research led by NASA Goddard found persistent “erroneous measurements” skewing past estimates for how severe geomagnetic storms can get. Reading time 3 minutes Cataclysmic solar storms may be rare ...

A team at the Applied Physics Lab is working to understand the complex science behind predicting invisible threats that can quickly cripple electric grid infrastructure on Earth. On the morning of ...

Telegraph needles failed on a Devon railway during an 1848 magnetic storm, and the space weather record kept the wrong year.
