Watch footage of the Sun unleashing an X1.2-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the fireworks in ...

The awe-inspiring moment that a powerful solar flare erupted from the sun earlier this week has been captured by NASA. The space agency’s Solar Dynamics Observatory spotted the super hot stre… ...

An M3-class solar flare that lasted about 3 hours created a massive coronal mass ejection. The Solar Dynamics Observatory ...

The video, taken by NASA's Solar Dynamics Orbiter, shows mesmerizing close-up views of solar flares blasting off the sun between Monday and Thursday (Oct. 25-28), ending with a major X1-class ...

The latest solar flare follows an M-class one, the second-highest on the scale, that occurred days earlier on June 15. It caused a shortwave radio blackout across North America, with a loss of signal ...

X-class flares also have the potential to create global transmission problems and world-wide blackouts, NASA says. New Year's Eve solar flare is strongest in 6 years.

The X-class flare, the strongest produced by our star, was recorded by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory as it burst from a sunspot on the lower left limb of the sun at 9:25 a.m. EDT (1325 GMT) on ...

Video footage from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows that, around 11:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday evening, four solar flares erupted at once across the visible surface of the sun.

A NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory image of the solar flare that erupted on Sunday, July 31, 2022. The flare indicates a potentially active region of the sun that is turning toward us.

Earlier this week, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) recorded a rarely seen event—four nearly-simultaneous flare eruptions involving three separate sunspots, as well as the magnetic ...

The solar flare peaked at about noon on Thursday, according to NASA. The solar flare was classified as an X2.8 flare — a class denoting the most intense flares.
