Scientists have captured an exceptionally rare, high-resolution view of an active region that produced two powerful X-class ...

"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ...

Sunspot AR3184 erupted with an X1.9-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured the fireworks. The sunspot has been very active since it rotated into SDO's view. Credit: ...

The same active region of the sun that produced stunning auroras that were visible as far south as Mexico earlier this week has erupted again. On Friday the sun released a powerful, X4.0-class solar ...

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured sunspot AR3386 blast a long-duration X1.6-class solar flare. See at time-lapse of the flare in multiple wavelengths. Credit Space.com | footage courtesy: ...

I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY AT FIRST, YEAH. SO PEOPLE GOING TO THE EVENT TONIGHT, WHAT SHOULD THEY HAVE ON? WHAT SHOULD THEY WEAR? I’M STILL SAYING LONG SLEEVES RIGHT. IT’S NICE TO SEE US BOUNCING BACK TO ...

A series of solar flares, essentially explosions on the surface of the sun, caused unusually bright and colorful displays of aurora borealis in Alaska and other northern latitudes on Tuesday night.

The strongest solar storm in over 20 years continues, and a major boost on Wednesday afternoon could elevate this aurora experience to once-in-a-lifetime. Here is the breakdown — an X-5.1 flare from ...

The northern lights lit up skies across much of the United States late Tuesday after a solar flare triggered a geomagnetic storm. Forecasters had said the aurora borealis could be visible over a large ...

Over the past few days, an active sunspot has erupted multiple times, sending clouds of high-energy plasma into space. The sunspot happens to be facing Earth just now, so the plasma clouds are heading ...
