The huge solar flare may be the last big explosion from the sun this year. The sun is not quite done with 2024.

Eric Mack is a reporter covering science, sustainability and space. The most powerful solar flare seen in nearly twenty years and the strongest of the current solar cycle erupted from our local ...

Northern Lights could be incoming midweek after the first powerful X-rated solar flare for many weeks. Satellites in Earth orbit detected an X2.2 class solar flare early on Dec. 8, 2024 ...

On Oct. 3, the sun unleashed the most powerful solar flare of the current solar cycle yet. The X-class flare — the most powerful type the sun is capable of producing — reached a magnitude of ...

We know that in 1859, our star produced an extremely powerful solar flare, a burst of light radiation. These are often associated with a subsequent coronal mass ejection (CME), a bubble of ...

Superflares are extremely strong solar flares – explosions with energies up to ten thousand times that of typical solar flares. Why worry? "A new study of 56,000 sun-like stars reveals that ...

In contrast, their simulations in deeper layers produced less realistic solar activity. The findings suggest that sunspots and flares could be a product of a shallow magnetic field, rather than a ...

the sun fired off four solar flares within less than three hours. The biggest flare of the series, recorded at a M7.3, erupted from sunspot region AR3938 on Dec. 25 at 10:15 p,m. EST (0315 GMT on ...

Experts predict a 60 percent chance of radio blackouts today after the sun unleashed an extremely powerful solar flare and sent it hurtling toward Earth. Minor to moderate blackouts could last ...

The sun is not quite done with 2024. "Analysis is currently underway to determine if there was an associated coronal mass ejection, and any potential impacts," SWPC officials wrote in the update.

In the final hours of Christmas Day, the sun fired off four solar flares within less than three hours. The biggest flare of the series, recorded at a M7.3, erupted from sunspot region AR3938 on Dec.
