According to the monitoring data, following the flare, the level of impact of solar X-ray bursts on the Earth's ionosphere increased to the R1 (weak) level, on a five-point scale topping out at R5, or ...
The latest Quantum RV is also the most compact, the lightest, and the cheapest in the range, ideal for a family of four ...
A solar explosion called a coronal mass ejection is poised to graze Earth on Friday or Saturday (Jan. 24 or Jan. 25), ...
New study reveals the potential for advance warning of powerful solar flares from the Sun, providing crucial hours to protect ...
The sun's most active phase, solar maximum, kicked off in 2024, allowing an unusually high number of powerful X-class flares to explode from our home star. | Credit: NASA/SDO/AIA/LMSAL The number ...
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 ...
C, M, and X classes) of solar flares during different solar cycle phases from 1996 to 2019 covering the solar cycles 23 and 24. During this period, a total of 19,126 solar flares were observed ...

The Sun regularly produces solar flares, which are energetic outbursts of electromagnetic radiation. Sometimes, these flares are accompanied by plasma in events known as coronal mass ejections. Both ...
All of the activity sparks solar storms, specifically solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which hurl plasma and magnetic material into space. When that material collides with Earth’s ...
Solar activity is reckoned to be at a 23-year high. As if on cue, X-class solar flares on the sun — which are often followed by CMEs — occurred again on Friday, Jan. 3 and Saturday ...
2025 Solar flares are categorised into four classes based on their intensity, with each successive class being ten times stronger than the one before it. X-class flares represent the most powerful ...
