NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an X4.5-class solar flare. See views in multiple wavelengths here. Footage ...
When sunspots erupt at nearly the same time, it could be something known as "sympathetic solar flares." A double eruption ...
The sun is an incomprehensibly gigantic, constantly roiling nuclear furnace—but some days are even busier than others. Based ...
Over the past few days, an active sunspot has erupted multiple times, sending clouds of high-energy plasma into space. The sunspot happens to be facing Earth just now, so the plasma clouds are heading ...
Talk about a heated situation. The sun unleashed two colossal solar flares within seven hours of each other this week, triggering radio blackouts across parts of Earth. Solar flares are strong, ...
Space scientists have announced that the Sun has fired four massive solar flares. The outbursts were captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft, which monitors our star’s activity for ...

On August 19, 2022, solar astronomers using the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) on the Hawaiian island of Maui caught the fading remnants of a C-class solar flare. Their observations showed ...
The sun is putting on a show. On Sunday the star unleashed several strong and bright solar flares, including one of the most powerful eruptions seen in decades. Far from the steadily glowing orb we ...
Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ionosphere, it may generate electric fields that penetrate fragile fracture ...
Earthquakes are well understood, but very hard to predict. Instead of looking at tectonic pressure or fracking, researchers in Japan have postulated a new source that could be triggering quakes: solar ...
MOSCOW, February 4. /TASS/. A total of 12 solar flares of the highest M-and X-class were registered on February 3, the Institute of Applied Geophysics (IPG) told TASS. The first solar flares occurred ...
