Earlier this week, the number of visible sunspots on our home star fell to zero for the first time in 1,335 days. This ...

Scientists develop a forecasting system that predicts high-risk windows and regions for solar superflares, using 50 years of X-ray data and machine learning techniques.

Sunspot AR3184 erupted with an X1.9-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured the fireworks. The ...

Researchers say a deadly earthquake in Japan and 2023’s most powerful solar flare occurring back-to-back can’t be a ...

Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ...

A solar storm is a catchall term that describes any disturbance in the sun that involves the violent ejection of solar material into space. This can come in the form of coronal mass ejections, where ...

The planet is experiencing the most powerful solar event since 2003—and it's bringing spectacular Northern Lights.

Solar physicists and seismologists are testing a provocative idea: that violent outbursts from the Sun could be linked to the timing of some large earthquakes. New statistical work reports ...

The paper suggests that solar flares disrupt Earth's magnetic field, which, in turn, causes changes in the upper atmosphere. These purportedly filter down to the forces affecting Earth's crust. It ...

A strong solar flare peaked just after 9 a.m. Tuesday, but what does that mean? Can it be seen from Earth?Tuesday's solar flare was not the first this year or even this month. Here is more information ...
