The sun released a powerful solar flare followed by a fast-moving coronal mass ejection on January 18, resulting in a ...

Federal forecasters are warning that a powerful X-class solar flare could trigger strong radio blackouts and strain power ...

Aurora alert! The colossal solar storm could impact and trigger impressive northern lights.

An X-class solar flare has produced an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection, increasing solar activity and raising the likelihood of geomagnetic impacts within 24 hours.

F or all of its life-sustaining energy, the sun is pretty chaotic. Roiling plasma covers its surface along with fluidic snarls of magnetic fields that birth solar flares. These fiery outbursts occur ...

By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Solar physicists have long known that the sun stores staggering amounts of magnetic energy, but the exact trigger that lets ...

Forecasters at NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center monitored a solar flare lasting for hours on Sunday. The Coronal Mass Ejection that came with it could produce aurora for northern states and ...

NOAA confirmed an X-class solar flare originating from Active Region 4341 on the Sun on Sunday, Jan. 18.

The sun recently erupted with a potent X-class solar flare, triggering a fast-moving coronal mass ejection (CME) that is ...

It is the strongest solar radiation storm in over 20 years, since October 2003. The powerful weather event is expected to ...
