Sunspot AR3186 erupted with an X1-class solar flare on Jan. 10, 2022. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the ...

Sunspot AR3089 erupted with a series of m-class flares that culminated with an M7-class flare on Aug. 26, 2022. NASA's Solar ...

NASA says they captured a massive solar flare erupting from the sun. In a blog post, the space agency said the solar flare occurred Wednesday, peaking at 1:35 p.m. EST. The incredible moment was ...

NASA captured an image of an intense solar flare released by the sun on Tuesday evening. The solar flare peaked at 5:49 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory said. It was an X-class ...

Solar flares heat ions much more strongly than electrons. The finding offers a new explanation for spectral line broadening. Recent work from the Andrews suggests that particles in solar flares can ...

The sun has become more and more active over the last 16 years, in a turn that surprised scientists and could affect space ...

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, ...

As the sun geared up to spit a powerful solar flare into space, NASA scientists snapped huge loops of plasma leaping from the sun's surface. These spectacular solar structures, known as coronal loops, ...

Considered our solar system's largest explosive events, solar flares can sometimes be as strong as a billion hydrogen bombs. Those with enough energy output to rank as an X-class have the potential to ...

Surya, an AI model developed by NASA and IBM, tries to find hidden patterns in solar data to detect solar flares and winds. NASA and IBM have released a new open-source machine learning model to help ...
