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 ...

Massive solar flares, graceful eruptions of solar material, and an enormous sunspot make up some of the imagery captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory in 2013 and 2014. A year ago this weekend, ...

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare – seen in the bright flash toward the middle of the image – on May 10, 2024. The image shows a subset of extreme ultraviolet ...

The sun continues to erupt massive solar flares, and NASA recently reported two so far Monday morning, a class X1.7 around 9:40 a.m. ET and a strong class X1.1 solar flare peaking at 11:27 a.m. on ...

While millions of people who couldn't normally see the aurora borealis took in the recent color-filled spectacle in the night sky, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory was looking straight at the sun to ...

A new model that posits the same physical process is responsible for magnetic field and the rotation patterns, contradicting previous theories that the sun’s magnetic field originates deep inside its ...

Ancient Chinese astronomers observed a solar eclipse in 709 BCE with remarkable detail. These old records are now helping scientists understand Earth' ...

Solar activity, manifested primarily through sunspots, solar flares and coronal mass ejections, has long influenced both the near-space environment and terrestrial systems. Over millennia, variations ...

NASA's Solar Dynamic Observatory captured footage of the bright X8.7 solar flare explode. Since then, the Sun has emitted at least two more solar flares of similar strength overnight, including one ...

IBM and Nasa have made available on Hugging Face an open source artificial intelligence (AI) model called Surya, trained to understand and predict how solar activity affects Earth and space-based ...
