A giant S-shape structure, around 10 times wider than Earth, recently appeared in the center of the sun, moments before our ...

In the span of two days last week, the sun released two strong solar flares — meaning the solar system experienced its most powerful explosions which can cause some communications blackouts on Earth, ...

Considered our solar system's largest explosive events, solar flares can sometimes be as strong as a billion hydrogen bombs. Those with enough energy output to rank as an X-class have the potential to ...

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured imagery of the Sun erupting with an M8.7 and X1-class solar flare on Oct. 2, 2022.

The findings, recently published in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, indicate that ions within solar flares may reach temperatures more than 6.5 times higher than earlier estimates, according to ...

Record-setting solar flare images show ultra-thin magnetic loops, a discovery that could sharpen predictions of space weather threats.

The clearest pictures ever taken of a solar flare have been captured by the world's largest solar telescope in Hawaii.

After weeks of reduced activity, the sun erupted with three powerful flares on a single day. That could send solar flares toward Earth, impacting electronics and making it possible to view the ...

Space weather experts warn that a "strong" geomagnetic storm will rock Earth on Sept. 1-2, potentially lighting the skies ...

Solar Orbiter reveals two distinct sources of energetic electrons from the Sun, improving space weather understanding.

Galileo saw it first, but this time astronomers had a better view of what is going on with the sun and found a reason why ...
