Solar flares are characterized by intense bursts of energy and radiation from the Sun’s surface. In a matter of just a few ...

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

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

Solar Orbiter observations show that a medium-class solar flare formed through cascading magnetic reconnection events, ...

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

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