The solar superstorm emanated from an active sunspot region called AR3664. Clusters of sunspots like this one are notorious for producing explosive solar phenomena, such as solar flares (sudden bursts ...

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.

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 ...

A solar storm is a catchall term that describes any disturbance in the sun that involves the violent ejection of solar material into space. This can come in the form of coronal mass ejections, where ...

The sun is not a static, tranquil sphere of gas, but an active, turbulent star with magnetic fields that twist and snap in powerful eruptions. Among the most striking and energetic of these eruptions ...

The planet is experiencing the most powerful solar event since 2003—and it's bringing spectacular Northern Lights.

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 ...

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 ...
