When the surface of the Sun exploded with activity in May 2024, Earth was hit by the biggest solar storm in more than two decades. The video shown below—made from images captured by NASA’s Solar ...

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.

As if returning to the Moon’s vicinity hadn’t already had enough things to delay it, now risky space weather could get in the ...

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

The number of X-class solar flares — the most powerful and potentially dangerous class of solar eruption — hit a new record high in 2024. The spike highlights that we are currently experiencing a ...

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

Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

The sky is sizzling with cosmic potential! Over the past 24 hours, the sun has been especially active, unleashing a rapid-fire series of powerful solar flares, including an X8.3-class eruption, which ...

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

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 ...

A question about solar flares and changing Earth's orbit and what role they might play in climate change from a congressman during a House committee meeting have prompted confusion. During a recent ...
