Flickering, invisible space loops may help predict solar flaresIt’s notoriously difficult to predict when the sun will belch out a large solar flare — an explosive burst of radiation that ...
Scientists have long struggled to accurately predict solar flares, but a recent breakthrough using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has uncovered a promising new sign: flickering coronal loops. These ...
NASA discovered erratic flickers in coronal loops before solar flares, hinting at an early warning system. This breakthrough ...
Researchers have made a potentially crucial breakthrough in solar science that could help predict solar flares with greater ...
"Ghostly" traces of coronal loops can also linger on the sun's surface in the hours after a major solar flare. (Image credit: Eduardo Schaberger Poupeau) On our planet's surface, GPS systems, such ...
Intense solar flares—sudden bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun—can shoot out hazardous levels of energy strong enough to reach Earth’s atmosphere. Predicting solar flares ...
This ultraviolet image of coronal loops on the Sun was taken using the 335 angström channel of the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly telescope on NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. Earth is shown to ...
The four panels in this movie show brightness changes in coronal loops in four different wavelengths of extreme ultraviolet light (131, 171, 193, and 304 angstroms) before a solar flare in ...
