Citizen scientists reviewing NASA data discovered unusually high Solar flare rates, helping researchers better understand the ...

The direct effect of a large solar flare is not the spectacular luminous auroras, but rather, silence on the airwaves. As the sunspot region 4366 swung into a more Earth-facing position, it generated ...

Earth’s magnetic field was rattled by a solar outburst that arrived with almost no warning, lighting up skies and briefly reminding power grid operators and satellite controllers how vulnerable modern ...

The aurora borealis may be visible over Durango tonight as a severe solar storm hits Earth. Dave Byers, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service, said the storm is the result of a large solar ...

Solar Orbiter reveals that major solar flares arise from cascading weak magnetic disturbances, producing avalanche-like reconnection and rain of plasma blobs. (Nanowerk News) Just as avalanches on ...

What happens when a solar superstorm hits Mars? Thanks to the European Space Agency's Mars orbiters, we now know: glitching spacecraft and a supercharged upper atmosphere.

Solar Orbiter’s most detailed view yet of a large solar flare, with filaments, raining plasma blobs, magnetic reconnection events and X-ray emission labelled Disclaimer: AAAS and EurekAlert! are not ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft has discovered that a solar flare is triggered by initially weak ...
