When the surface of the Sun exploded with activity in May 2024, Earth was hit by the biggest solar storm in more than two ...

Earlier this week, the number of visible sunspots on our home star fell to zero for the first time in 1,335 days. This ...

As if returning to the Moon’s vicinity hadn’t already had enough things to delay it, now risky space weather could get in the ...

Scientists develop a forecasting system that predicts high-risk windows and regions for solar superflares, using 50 years of X-ray data and machine learning techniques.

A century of solar observations from Kodaikanal Solar Observatory and modern satellite data reveal patterns in the Sun’s polar magnetic activity, aiding predictions of future solar cycles.

Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ...

Researchers say a deadly earthquake in Japan and 2023’s most powerful solar flare occurring back-to-back can’t be a ...

Solar physicists and seismologists are testing a provocative idea: that violent outbursts from the Sun could be linked to the timing of some large earthquakes. New statistical work reports ...

The sky is sizzling with cosmic potential! Over the past 24 hours, the sun has been especially active, unleashing a rapid-fire series of powerful solar flares, including an X8.3-class eruption, which ...

The paper suggests that solar flares disrupt Earth's magnetic field, which, in turn, causes changes in the upper atmosphere. These purportedly filter down to the forces affecting Earth's crust. It ...

LAS CRUCES — The eerie yet beautiful auroras that delivered pink and green nighttime skies across New Mexico and much of the U.S. this month are the result of geomagnetic storms caused by solar ...
