At times, the sun ejects energetic material into space, which can have consequences for space-based and even ground-based ...

Sunspot AR4618 erupted with an M4.4-class solar flare causing a coronal mass ejection (CME) that may give Earth a glancing ...

Solar wind speeds remain elevated as an incoming coronal mass ejection approaches Earth, with forecasts indicating increased ...

A particularly volatile sunspot has sent a series of solar storms surging toward the Earth, many of which are due to hit in the next few days. Sunspot AR3663 released five plumes of solar ...

A NOAA forecast suggest that Northern Lights may be visible in northern U.S. states Saturday, Jan. 10, through Sunday, Jan.

In principle, cosmic-ray observations can provide detailed insights into the physical profile of a passing ICME. But despite ...

(NEXSTAR) – Coronal mass ejections — or explosive accelerations of plasma and magnetic material from the Sun — can be strong enough to disturb the Earth’s magnetosphere, producing geomagnetic storms ...

From communications outages to a brush with nuclear war, solar events like flares and coronal mass ejections have shaped ...

A sunspot on the surface of the sun has erupted with a powerful solar flare, triggering radio blackouts across the planet. The X3.3-class flare was flung out from AR3869 in the early hours of October ...

Solar storms, known as coronal mass ejections (CME), are surprisingly common. When detected in the vicinity of Earth, some ...

A 'rule-breaking' sunspot has fired off an extremely powerful X-class solar flare, launching a CME toward Earth that could bring vibrant weekend auroras. When you purchase through links on our site, ...

Thanks to the European Space Agency (ESA) spacecraft XMM-Newton, astronomers have seen a powerful explosion of plasma erupting from a distant star for the first time. We have seen (and felt) plenty of ...
