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

A powerful geomagnetic storm caused by an X-class solar flare and a fast-moving coronal mass ejection has disrupted Earth's ...

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

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 ...

ESA’s Solar Orbiter discovered cascading magnetic avalanches on the Sun, triggering powerful solar flares and particle storms ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...

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

NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory captured a M7.9-class solar flare. See footage of the blast in multiple wavelengths. Credit: ...

NASA reported a significant X-class solar flare, specifically an X1.9 event, on January 18, which was captured by its Solar ...

A powerful flare unleashed a severe solar storm that caused auroras and GPS disruptions on Earth.

Aurora fans may be in for a treat in the coming hours.
