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

A powerful X1.8 solar flare erupted on January 4, 2025, and was recorded at its peak—7:48 a.m. ET—by NOAA’s Solar Ultraviolet ...

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 of ...

The sun fired off an X1.2-class solar flare on Friday (Jan. 3), triggering radio blackouts throughout parts of the South ...

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 ...

Minor-to-moderate radio blackouts due to solar flare activity are also likely through Sunday, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center.

"It is unclear whether gigantic flares are always accompanied by coronal mass ejections and what is the relationship between superflares and extreme solar particles," said Prof. Dr. Ilya Usoskin ...
