We explain this extraordinary phenomenon—and why solar flares and coronal mass ejections go together like spots on Dalmatians ...

If you were one of the lucky people in the Pacific Northwest this year, you might have caught the dazzling show of color in ...

This matters because we use a lot of technology like satellites, GPS, and power grids. A big solar flare could mess all of that up. The big question is: Are we ready for it? Solar superflares are ...

"It is unclear whether gigantic flares are always accompanied by coronal mass ejections and what is the relationship between superflares and extreme solar particles," said Prof. Dr. Ilya Usoskin ...

What are solar flares? They release a powerful burst of energy in a very short span of time, travelling at the speed of the light. These intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation can affect ...

The jet emerging from M87’s supermassive black hole is tens of millions of times larger than its event horizon. In 2019, the ...

The sun is far from quiet. Yesterday, Dec. 17, the sun fired out an 'extremely rare' farside coronal mass ejection (CME) — a ...

No geomagnetic or solar radiation ... its strongest flare on Oct. 3, coinciding with a coronal mass ejection and a Kp index as high as 7, causing the lights to be visible as far south as Kansas.

Researchers studying sun-like stars and historical evidence from tree rings and glacial ice suggest that extreme solar events ...

Most of the flares you'll hear about in the news are solar flares, or bursts of radiation that emerge from the Sun's lower corona. But other stars experience flares, too, and as they do on the Sun ...

Dec. 17, 2024 — Researchers propose a unique numerical decision-making framework for solar panel protection against extreme weather conditions. The framework combines advanced wind simulations ...

Dec. 9, 2024 — Dust storms on Mars could one day pose dangers to human astronauts, damaging equipment and burying solar panels ... in Jupiter's polar haze, visible only at UV wavelengths ...
