The sun is experiencing a violent solar storm, releasing one of the strongest solar flares seen in the past 30 years ...

Imagine standing on a snowy mountain ridge. A single fracture forms in the ice crust, or a small patch of heavy snow shifts ...

Solar physicists have long known that the sun stores staggering amounts of magnetic energy, but the exact trigger that lets ...

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

An X-class solar flare has produced an Earth-directed coronal mass ejection, increasing solar activity and raising the likelihood of geomagnetic impacts within 24 hours.

NOAA confirmed an X-class solar flare originating from Active Region 4341 on the Sun on Sunday, Jan. 18.

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

NASA reported a significant X-class solar flare, specifically an X1.9 event, on January 18, which was captured by its Solar ...

F or all of its life-sustaining energy, the sun is pretty chaotic. Roiling plasma covers its surface along with fluidic snarls of magnetic fields that birth solar flares. These fiery outbursts occur ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...
