Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

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

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 ...

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 ...

Solar storms can not only cause auroras, but also potentially affect tectonic faults. This conclusion was reached by ...

The sunspot region designated AR 14098 rotated over the Sun’s eastern limb in late January carrying magnetic complexity forecasters had not seen since the final months of 2025. Within 96 hours of ...

The ionospheric D-region, spanning approximately 60–95 km above Earth’s surface, is a dynamic boundary where complex photochemical processes influence radio wave propagation. Solar flares, through ...

This week, we examine strength from different perspectives. The energetic strength of a solar flare and its effect on Earth. The gravitational strength of dark matter in our universe and its ...

In the span of two days last week, the sun released two strong solar flares — meaning the solar system experienced its most powerful explosions which can cause some communications blackouts on Earth, ...

A high-magnitude solar flare erupted from a new sunspot on the sun’s surface, which caused a disruption of radio signals across Earth’s Eastern Hemisphere on Tuesday. Classified as an X2.7 solar flare ...
