The sun released over 50 X-class solar flares in 2024! Here we take a look at some of the best. It's been a busy year on the sun, as it officially entered the peak of its roughly 11-year cycle ...
These superflares are similar to the solar flares we see emitted from our sun, except much more powerful, releasing thousands of times the energy of a typical solar flare. By comparison ...
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 ...
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 ...
Our sun regularly shoots out solar flares — explosions of light and radiation from its surface — into space. But how about superflares? These stellar events are thousands of times more ...
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 ...
The European Space Agency shows how the sun’s activity has ramped up as it careened toward "solar maximum." Data sonification brings solar flares to life through audio.
