By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Today's solar flare forecasting is pretty straightforward. Earth has several instruments pointed at the sun that monitor it, and when a solar flare erupts, NOAA predicts whether it'll hit Earth and ...

The Sun has just unleashed an M5-class solar flare, a powerful burst of radiation that signals a clear uptick in solar activity as the current cycle heads toward its peak. While this event is not the ...

Researchers followed a single solar hotspot for 3 months as it unleashed nearly 1,000 flares, revealing insights about our Sun's fury.

The forecasting of solar flares is a rapidly evolving field that combines observational solar physics with the latest developments in machine learning and statistical modelling. Solar flares are ...

The sun is not a static, tranquil sphere of gas, but an active, turbulent star with magnetic fields that twist and snap in powerful eruptions. Among the most striking and energetic of these eruptions ...

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 ...

This was the view as a multi-colored curtain of aurora formed to the south in my sky during the great display of Northern Lights on May 10, 2024. The Kp Index peaked at 8 this night bringing the ...
