An astrophotographer has captured an extremely rare and "difficult" photo of a solar flare exploding from the sun at the ...

Researchers have used machine learning to dramatically speed up the processing time when simulating galaxy evolution coupled with supernova explosion. This approach could help us understand the ...

The shattered star at the center was once a white dwarf, a stellar ember no larger than Earth, yet almost as heavy as the Sun ...

Astronomers studying the remnant SNR 0509-67.5 have finally caught a white dwarf in the act of a rare “double-detonation” supernova, where an initial helium blast on the star’s surface triggers a ...

What You Need To Know The IfA team discovered a previously unrecognized, undefined type of cosmic explosion far rarer and far more energetic than supernovae — an explosion second only to the Big Bang ...

This is the first evidence for a white dwarf exploding not once, but twice. The discovery could shed new light on how some ...

In May 2024, the largest solar flare since 2017 was detected, ranking at an X-8.7 magnitude. Then in 2025, a flare May 13 was classified as an X-1.2 , and another the next day was listed as an X-2.7.

Sun has blasted an X flare towards Earth once again. The eruption reached us and disrupted communications systems. Sunspot region 4114 released the X flare, the most powerful solar flare, on Tuesday ...

Midsummer Night's Eve and the summer solstice may see aurora close to the U.S. Canada border after a geomagnetic storm in the wake of an X-class solar flare ...

The solar maximum, according to scientists, began in October 2024, and the sunspot number will start decreasing as the cycle moves toward solar minimum. According to spaceweather.com, the sunspot ...

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.
