Sunspot AR3842 erupted with an X7.1-class solar flare. NASA models predict that the coronal mass ejection created by the ...

A small but mighty cluster of sunspots have made their biggest mark yet on Earth's magnetosphere—and on the radio signals that pass below it. After releasing an X2.3-class solar flare on Nov. 6, radio ...

A November 6 solar flare hit X2.3-class in strength, causing Atlantic radio blackouts, with more potentially on the way if further solar flares are released.

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an X2.3 solar flare on November 6th, 2024, causing shortwave radio blackouts in ...

Solar flares are not directly responsible for the aurora borealis. The lights are caused by a phenomenon known as coronal ...

Solar flares are the most powerful explosions in the solar system — the biggest ones can have as much energy as a billion hydrogen bombs, according to NASA. The cosmic event was spotted by NASA's ...

Now that the sun has reached its solar maximum, aurora chasers should expect the northern lights to appear more frequently in ...

A few states along the Canadian border will have a chance to see the northern lights on Friday night, and another solar flare will likely bring auroral activity further south over the weekend, ...

NASA images provide insights into the sun, moon, planets, and stars. Recent highlights include solar flares, Jupiter’s features, a unique Earth photo, and the Witch Hat nebula, showcasing the dynamic ...

it creates intense bursts of radiation resulting in solar flares – considered by NASA to be our solar system's largest explosive events. Solar flares emit radiation, mostly in the form of ...
