Solar flares, blasts of plasma gasses of solar energy might shape the short-term weather on distant planets according to a ...
Some exoplanets in their stars' habitable zones may be distinctly uninhabitable due to solar flaring. Red dwarfs are known for powerful flaring, and since they're dim and their habitable zones are ...
Stars often whip their planets with solar winds and radiation, pull them ever closer with gravity and sear them with heat.
Stars can throw high‑energy tantrums. Their sudden bursts of X‑ray and ultraviolet light, known as solar flares if they come from the Sun and stellar flares when they happen on other stars, pump out ...
Solar cells, devices that can convert sunlight into electrical energy, are becoming increasingly widespread, with many households and industries worldwide now relying on them as a source of ...
NASA’s PUNCH mission tracks coronal mass ejections from the Sun to Earth for the first time, offering new insight into space weather.
Qatar temporarily shut its airspace Monday as flares lit up the sky over Doha and loud explosions were heard across the capital, hours after Iran launched a retaliatory strike on Israel.
Enhanced X-rays due to solar flare bursts can lead to a significant increase in electron density in the lower ionosphere, which can change the height of reflection at the base of the ionosphere. A ...
A new study has uncovered a connection between solar flares—sudden outbursts of radiation from stars—and short-term weather patterns on distant Earth-like planets.
Sharpest-ever solar view shows tiny stripes driving big space storms NSF Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope captures sharpest-ever view of the solar surface to reveal our finest look at narrow ...
Another X-class solar flare triggers US communication blackouts as the sun continues to emit intense solar flares during the solar maximum.
