AR 3842 is currently traversing the solar disk and is right in the middle of our field of view; prime position for Earth-directed eruptions. And it emitted another M-class flare just a few hours ...

Emily Mason, a heliophysicist at San Diego-based research firm Predictive Science, and her colleagues observed coronal loops ...

X-class flares are the strongest class of solar flare ... spanning some 150° in position angle. Technically it could have a very minor Earth-directed component, but certainly nothing significant.

The event follows reports of at least seven massive solar flares or earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) from a sunspot cluster 16 times the diameter of Earth. These solar eruptions cause ...

Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation, NASA explains. The harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However ...

The storm arrives after days of solar flares that reportedly sent bursts of plasma and magnetic fields towards Earth, prompting a watch that could trigger flashy light displays and communication ...

Aditya-L1’s SUIT detects a solar flare kernel in near-UV for the first Observations confirm energy transfer across different ...

It only takes about 8 minutes for the X-rays to reach Earth. The CMEs take two to three days. Solar flares can disrupt the Earth's information infrastructure. Japanese scientists issue warnings ...

NASA and other agencies observed six of the largest X-class solar flares erupting between May 8 and 10. These flares released high-energy particles that caused a severe disturbance to Earth's ...

The strong “X2.0-class” flare erupted from the Sun at about 7.30 pm GMT from a sunspot rotating out of view from the Earth, the agency said. Solar flares are ranked on a four-class scale ...
