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 ...

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

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 ...

After witnessing the array of Northern Lights as far south as Colorado, we discuss how Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) are ...

A erupted with M1 and M6 class solar flares. Watch the fireworks in these views from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory.

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 ...

Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. A SWPC report added that the storm calmed and reached G4 status again on ...
