NASA warns that the Sun is awakening, showing increased solar activity since 2008. Rising solar wind strength, magnetic field ...

Sunspot AR3184 erupted with an X1.9-class solar flare on Jan. 9, 2022. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured the fireworks. The sunspot has been very active since it rotated into SDO's view ...

The United States launched three spacecraft on Wednesday in an effort to better monitor space weather such as solar storms, which can interfere with technology and power systems on Earth.

A recent study conducted by scientists led by Alexander Russell at the University of St. Andrews suggests that solar flares ...

President Trump’s proposed NASA budget looks to drop 41 science missions including 19 that are operational in space. The new ...

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 ...

Solar flares are colossal explosions in the sun's atmosphere that hurl out bursts of powerful radiation. These events are ...

Most places on Earth have seasons because our planet is on a tilt as it orbits the sun. But our star also has its own version of seasons that affect life on Earth—and new astronomical research is ...

Back in 2019, a consortium of scientists predicted August 2025 as the peak of the solar activity cycle. But where are we now?

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. These processes follow the solar cycle, an 11-year cycle of increasing and decreasing activity on ...

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 ...

Solar flares can be many times the size of Earth and can damage things like satellites. A new study suggests that eruptions from the sun can be even hotter than researchers thought. Solar flares are ...
