This Feb. 4, 2026, image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captures a strong solar flare erupting from the star. Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy that can, along with other types ...

NASA captured an image of an intense solar flare released by the sun on Tuesday evening. The solar flare peaked at 5:49 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory said. It was an X-class ...

The highest-resolution images of a solar flare captured at the H-alpha wavelength (656.28 nm) ever captured may reshape how we understand the sun's magnetic architecture—and improve space weather ...

In a study published this past Monday, August 25, 2025, in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of solar scientists revealed that the Inouye Solar Telescope has captured the clearest-ever images ...

Astronomers using the Inouye Solar Telescope have captured the sharpest-ever images of a solar flare, revealing coronal loops as thin as 21 km wide. These threadlike plasma structures, imaged during ...

Considered our solar system's largest explosive events, solar flares can sometimes be as strong as a billion hydrogen bombs. Those with enough energy output to rank as an X-class have the potential to ...

Researchers used the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii to take the clearest pictures ever of a powerful solar flare that occurred on Aug. 8, 2024. Credit: NSF / NSO / AURA Astronomers have ...
