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 ...

Recreating artificial solar eclipses in space could help astronomers decipher the inner workings of our sun much quicker than ...

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 ...

The Solar Close Observations and Proximity Experiments (SCOPE) mission will send a spacecraft into the solar atmosphere and follow an orbit with perihelion, aphelion, and inclination of 5 R⊙ ...

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 are intense bursts of radiation coming from the sun. They are the most powerful explosions in our solar system, according to NASA. The biggest solar flares are labeled as X-class flares.

They’re typically produced during solar flares and coronal mass ejections and travel throughout the solar system. “This rare isotope, which is lighter than the more common 4 He by just one neutron, is ...

Stargazing in Maryland in 2025: Partial solar and lunar eclipses in March, a ‘celestial group hug’ in September Possibility for more aurora displays with high sun activity predicted ...

Air traffic, GPS services, and communication infrastructure may all benefit from improved predictions of solar flares and particle storms. A milestone for Parker Solar Probe Now that the probe is at ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe is set to achieve its most dangerous feat yet tomorrow, December 24, 2024. After a six-year journey of spiraling closer to the star at the heart of our solar system, the ...

Launched in 2010, the Solar Dynamics Observatory is a mission to study the aspects of the Sun that directly affect our life on Earth: solar wind, solar flares, and other outbursts of energy.
