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 ...

The northern lights may be seen in Massachusetts tonight as an X-class solar flare could cause a severe geomagnetic storm.

While Earth is shielded from most harmful solar radiation, powerful coronal mass ejections can disrupt satellites, GPS, radio ...

Sunspot AR3256 erupted with an X1.2-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the fireworks in multiple ...

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 ...

The sun released a powerful solar flare followed by a fast-moving coronal mass ejection on January 18, resulting in a ...

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