NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured sunspot AR3386 blast a long-duration X1.6-class solar flare. See at time-lapse of ...
"Some of the extreme ultraviolet light above active regions flickers erratically for a few hours before a solar flare," ...
An M3-class solar flare that lasted about 3 hours created a massive coronal mass ejection. The Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) captured the fireworks ...
For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares—intense bursts of light on the sun that can ...
The Rancho Viejo project, a 96-megawatt (MW) solar facility and 48 MW battery energy storage system has been embroiled in ...
There were significantly more X-class solar flares in 2024 than any other year for at least three decades. The arrival of ...
The aurora is expected to be bright and visible in multiple northern U.S. states Oct. 3 through Oct. 5 as well as from the lower Midwest to Oregon.
At the start of this new year, we look back at close-up pictures and solar flare data recorded by the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...
A powerful X1.8 solar flare erupted on January 4, 2025, and was recorded at its peak—7:48 a.m. ET—by NOAA’s Solar Ultraviolet ...
That is the highest total since at least 1996, when this dataset began. NASA has been tracking solar flare activity since the mid-1970s, but earlier data has not been made publicly available and ...
A solar flare is a burst of radiation: photons of all wavelengths, traveling at the speed of light. Solar flares are closely related to another solar phenomenon called a coronal mass ejection ...
