Scientists have developed a new way to predict the strength of the sun's next activity cycle up to seven years before it ...

A newly discovered turning point in the Sun’s 11-year cycle could allow scientists to predict future solar activity years ...

Solar Cycle 25 reached its peak in October 2024, but a rare “double peak” pattern means elevated aurora activity continues through 2026. After that, the next solar maximum won’t arrive until roughly ...

The northern lights could mean lights out for the infrastructure we rely on.

Solar panels have become more efficient over the years, but even the best designs still lose a large fraction of the energy they absorb. Scientists around the world have been searching for ways to ...

The same phenomenon that causes the beautiful aurora borealis may also cause way more havoc than previously thought.

Why coronal mass ejections and late-cycle flares pose surprise threats to modern tech Illustrative image. When the CMEs (coronal mass ejection) slam into Earth's magnetosphere, they can create ...
