Dozens of powerful flares are emerging from a new cluster of activity on the sun, producing stunning photos and sparking concerns about potential risks for global navigation, radio signals and the ...

Citizen scientists reviewing NASA data discovered unusually high Solar flare rates, helping researchers better understand the ...

A whopping sunspot that is getting larger and crackling with activity threatens to flash powerful solar flares in our planet's direction. The sunspot, named AR3780, appears to be getting bigger and ...

NASA’s latest study, relying on inputs from the Solar Active Region Spotter citizen science project, has uncovered ...

A high-magnitude solar flare erupted from a new sunspot on the sun’s surface, which caused a disruption of radio signals across Earth’s Eastern Hemisphere on Tuesday. Classified as an X2.7 solar flare ...

The sun may be 93 million miles away, but that does not stop its solar activity from affecting the Earth's atmosphere, a new study from Queen's University Belfast as found. The Earth's atmosphere is ...

The ionospheric D-region, spanning approximately 60–95 km above Earth’s surface, is a dynamic boundary where complex photochemical processes influence radio wave propagation. Solar flares, through ...

Earthquakes are well understood, but very hard to predict. Instead of looking at tectonic pressure or fracking, researchers in Japan have postulated a new source that could be triggering quakes: solar ...
