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, ...

The Sun's activity is rising again after decades of decline, surprising scientists and raising concerns about space weather.

When solar flares, coronal mass ejections or coronal holes occur, it can mean tempestuous solar particles are sent Earthward.

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 powerful belch of material ejected during a solar flare may be way hotter than scientists thought it was. A new mathematical analysis suggests that the engine driving solar flares is far more ...

Have you seen the Northern Lights? They're more than just pretty colors; when you see them in Pittsburgh, there's science ...

Research by university scientists suggests that solar flares may be far hotter than previously believed, offering new insights into the Sun’s behavior. The findings, recently published in the ...

A high-powered solar flare erupted from the sun last week, causing a major radio blackout in Europe and Asia. The eruption happened at 3:25 a.m., meaning that the sun wasn't in the Texas sky at the ...
