Researchers have made a potentially crucial breakthrough in solar science that could help predict solar flares with greater ...

It’s notoriously difficult to predict when the sun will belch out a large solar flare — an explosive burst of radiation that ...

Scientists have long struggled to accurately predict solar flares, but a recent breakthrough using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has uncovered a promising new sign: flickering coronal loops. These ...

Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while ...

As a result, the space agency says that solar flares will increase over the next few years. And that it could cause some problems for Earth throughout 2025. Of course, it isn’t all that ...

There were a total of 54 X-class flares in 2024, according to SpaceWeatherLive.com, which maintains the oldest and most accurate publicly available dataset on solar flares.That is the highest ...

As the sun geared up to spit a powerful solar flare into space, NASA scientists snapped huge loops of plasma leaping from the sun's surface. These spectacular solar structures, known as coronal ...

The Origin of the Sun's Magnetic Field Could Lie Close to Its Surface May 22, 2024 — Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's ...

During solar storms, there are more explosions — or solar flares — ejected from the sun ... according to a 2022 study in the same journal, and a 2021 study in EP Europace, respectively.

Well, that’s a bit dramatic (it explodes a lot) — but a particularly large sunspot named AR2781 produced a C5-class solar flare which is a medium-sized explosion even for the Sun. Flares range ...
