The massive sunspot that sparked an "extreme" geomagnetic storm in May 2024 unleashed hundreds of other dangerous solar ...
Researchers have identified a newly recognized type of extremely energetic particles located in the Sun’s upper atmosphere, revealing a phenomenon that had not been detected before. Solar scientists r ...
Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most ...
Our planet was rocked by some of the worst geomagnetic storms in more than 20 years. Triggered by a slew of solar flares, the ...
Today's solar flare forecasting is pretty straightforward. Earth has several instruments pointed at the sun that monitor it, and when a solar flare erupts, NOAA predicts whether it'll hit Earth and ...
NASA has selected a proposed solar mission for further study as part of its Small Explorer programme, extending early design ...
