The European Space Agency (ESA) has released an audio-visual representation of solar activity over the last three years, ...

As we approach solar maximum, the solar flares are coming faster and faster. Mostly, it means Earthbound viewers get more than our normal share of nights illuminated by the aurora. More intense ...

For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares—intense bursts of light on the sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now ...

The sun released over 50 X-class solar flares in 2024! Here we take a look at some of the best. It's been a busy year on the sun, as it officially entered the peak of its roughly 11-year cycle of ...

Using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, scientists have identified flickering loops in the solar atmosphere, or corona, that ...

An X-class solar flare erupted on December 29, 2023, sending a burst of solar energy toward Earth that may enhance auroras just in time for New Year celebrations. The flare, classified as X1.1 ...

On Oct. 3, the sun unleashed the most powerful solar flare of the current solar cycle yet. The X-class flare — the most powerful type the sun is capable of producing — reached a magnitude of ...
