After a calm week, the sun erupted again. A powerful M5.1 solar flare burst from an emerging sunspot region, shaking the ...

The Sun has just unleashed an M5-class solar flare, a powerful burst of radiation that signals a clear uptick in solar activity as the current cycle heads toward its peak. While this event is not the ...

Researchers followed a single solar hotspot for 3 months as it unleashed nearly 1,000 flares, revealing insights about our Sun's fury.

Our planet was rocked by some of the worst geomagnetic storms in more than 20 years. Triggered by a slew of solar flares, the ...

A dark, sharply defined opening in the Sun’s outer atmosphere has grown at an unusually fast pace, doubling in size in ...

An international team of researchers tracked the active solar region using the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint NASA and ...

Scientists tracked active solar region NOAA 13664 for 94 days, showing how persistent magnetic complexity drives flares and ...

While the Sun’s solar flares strongly correlate with sunspots, observations of more than 14,000 other stars show this is not generally the case.

OVRO-LWA radio data contrasts a quiet day (Sept. 29, 2025) with the hours after the X1.7-class flare recorded at 2:35 ET on Nov. 9. The type III radio bursts, shown in the radio dynamic spectrum ...

With the Sun still in an active phase there could be more spectacular Northern light displays in the year ahead.

What processes are responsible for heating solar flares and what dangers do they pose to Earth? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as an ...

Beautiful yet dangerous solar flares that erupt from the sun could be as hot as 180 million degrees Fahrenheit, researchers say. That's more than six times hotter than solar physicists previously ...
