The sun is experiencing a violent solar storm, releasing one of the strongest solar flares seen in the past 30 years ...

The Sun has unleashed a quartet of strong solar flares, which could herald a wild week of space weather. It all kicked off at ...

Imagine standing on a snowy mountain ridge. A single fracture forms in the ice crust, or a small patch of heavy snow shifts ...

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

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.

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

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 ...

NASA reported a significant X-class solar flare, specifically an X1.9 event, on January 18, which was captured by its Solar ...

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...
