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 ...

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

Sunspot AR3500 blasted a M9.8-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured footage of the flare in multiple wavelengths. Views from the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory ...

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

For starters, we can only properly see solar flares on the side of the sun facing Earth ... impact on Earth's environment," Shneider told Live Science. "Every new mission, observational point ...

The gigantic coronal hole is blasting high-speed solar wind toward Earth, potentially igniting vibrant auroras and minor ...

Flickering coronal loops in the Sun's outer atmosphere could act as an early warning system for solar flares, according to ...

Traditional methods which rely on human analysis of solar images and data, often provide less accurate and timely forecasts.

Of course, it isn’t all that surprising to learn that solar flares will increase over the coming years. In fact, the Sun has been slowly increasing the rate at which it expels energy and solar ...
