When sunspots erupt at nearly the same time, it could be something known as "sympathetic solar flares." A double eruption ...

It was an X-class flare — the most intense kind, NASA said. Solar flares are essentially "giant explosions on the sun" that send energy, light and high-speed particles into space, according to NASA.

Solar flares measured around X1 — like the May 13 and 14 events — indicate strong flare intensity. An X10 flare is described as as a severe event, according to NOAA.

Solar flares - sudden, intense bursts of radiation - are the result of the sun releasing energy pent-up magnetic energy. Sunspots, which are concentrated areas of such energy, are often the source ...

The sun released its strongest X-class solar flare of 2025, raising chances for northern lights and warnings of possible tech disruptions.

Stunning imagery from outer space shows the power of the Sun, with a massive solar flare and coronal mass ejection erupting from the giant star’s surface, but space experts say there is no need ...

Three top-tier X-class solar flares launched off the sun between Wednesday and Thursday. The first two occurred seven hours apart, coming in at X1.9 and X1.6 magnitude respectively.

The sun released over 50 X-class solar flares in 2024! Here we take a look at some of the best.

An intense X2.3-class flare was released by the sun yesterday, followed by several M-class flares, which caused a series of radio blackouts around the world.

First Images of the Sun’s Flares Released From a New Space Telescope Forecasters will soon be able to use the instrument, a coronagraph, to better monitor the effects of solar storms.

Space weather watchers are expecting a powerful solar flare from the sun to reach Earth Thursday evening giving off a light show of colorful auroras as far south as Alabama and northern California.

'Intense' Solar Flare Will Cause Major Geomagnetic Storms and Aurora Displays, NASA Says Authorities predict that states as far south as Oregon and Illinois will be able to see auroras between now ...
