In an unprecedented achievement, NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has reached a historic milestone: the spacecraft has successfully completed its third and final approach to within just 3.86 million ...

Solar flares, blasts of plasma gasses of solar energy might shape the short-term weather on distant planets according to 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.

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 ...

On June 15th, a significant M8.46 solar flare from sunspot region AR 4114 caused shortwave radio blackouts, particularly affecting the Americas. NOAA classified it as an R2 event, impacting ...

Another X-class solar flare triggers US communication blackouts as the sun continues to emit intense solar flares during the solar maximum.

NASA captured an image of the sun emitting a powerful solar flare that could interfere with technology on Earth.

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.

NASA's PUNCH mission has unveiled its first images of colossal solar eruptions known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs) — ...

Princeton Plasma Physics Lab debuts FLARE, a unique device to advance magnetic reconnection and plasma physics research.
