After weeks of reduced activity, the sun erupted with three powerful flares on a single day. That could send solar flares toward Earth, impacting electronics and making it possible to view the ...

Solar flares, blasts of plasma gasses of solar energy might shape the short-term weather on distant planets according to a new study.

Solar Maximum 2025 is the expected peak of solar activity in Solar Cycle 25, characterized by heightened sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. This peak is anticipated around mid to ...

Princeton physics experiment aims to shed light on disruptive solar flares The multimillion-dollar experiment that was years in the making comes as the federal government makes broad cuts to science ...

Watch sunspot region 4114 erupt with its most powerful solar flare yet. The X1.9 class flare triggered radio blackouts across the Pacific Ocean.

Large parts of the United States faced a radio blackout on Thursday following a strong solar flare from the sun. The "extreme ultraviolet flash" was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory ...

It was an X-class flare — the most intense kind, NASA said. Solar flares are essentially "giant explosions on the sun" that send energy, light and high-speed particles into space, according to NASA.

NASA captured an image of the sun emitting a powerful solar flare that could interfere with technology on Earth.

Watch a powerful X1.2 solar flare erupt from the sun, causing radio blackouts over Hawaii. More flares from unstable sunspot 4114 may follow.
