A new University of Michigan study offers one of the most detailed pictures so far of how violent sun storms spread across space — and occasionally, straight to our planet. With the help of ...

Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are dramatic expulsions of plasma and magnetic fields from the Sun’s corona that can trigger a spectrum of space weather phenomena. These solar eruptions, as they ...

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are central features of solar activity that significantly influence space weather. SEPs are high‐energy particles expelled ...
