Aurora

The coronal mass ejection exploded out from the far side of the sun, appearing in the shape of butterfly wings, so won't hit the Earth.

The M8.6-class solar flare emitted from a sunspot caused radio blackouts, due to ionizing the Earth's atmosphere and interfering with radio transmissions.

A man who posted pictures of one of nature's most spectacular phenomena on Twitter, taken during a commercial flight, had "an incredible ending to a special trip."

The spectacular red lights in the sky were caused by a G3 geomagnetic storm interacting with Earth's atmosphere.

"I opened the door of the room and saw this show in the sky," photographer Rebecca Paviola told Newsweek. "It looked like a painting!"

The phenomenon could mean that more auroras are visible across the northern hemisphere as the fall equinox approaches this month.

A cannibal coronal mass ejection from the sun, which overtook and combined with another CME, is due to hit Earth.

In the wake of a powerful plasma ejection from the Sun's surface, the Northern Lights are forecasted to be visible over parts of the United States.

The British Ministry of Defence had kept the mysterious image secret, but a copy made decades ago has blown the case wide open.

A strange aurora phenomenon, dubbed STEVE (Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement), has been spotted over Canada.

A surprise geomagnetic storm hit Earth on Sunday, while another is forecast to reach us today.

A huge "full-halo" solar ejection is headed straight for Earth, and will result in spectacular auroral displays on July 23.

A surge of solar wind following a coronal mass ejection from the sun is due to hit the Earth's atmosphere, creating a beautiful aurora display.

Freelance photographer Göran Strand captured the phenomenon and said it was the most beautiful display he's ever seen

A cloud of charged gas from the sun hit Earth on Sunday, causing a spectacular light show for people in northern latitudes.

"Seeing a brilliant aurora is a life changing experience," climatologist Brian Brettschneider, who posted the footage, told Newsweek.

As well as explaining how light shows illuminate Saturn's skies, recent findings solve the decades-long mystery of why the length of the planet's day changed.

The settlement comes days after it was also announced an investigation found a pattern of biased policing in the Aurora, Colorado police, mandating reforms.

Colorado Governor Jared Polis said the state needs to focus on youth violence after two shootings with high school students happened in Aurora in the same week.

"It makes me sad about it because they're so young," a man who claimed to hear at least 30 gunshots "in rapid succession," said.

The deceased included the driver of the van as well as two pedestrians, according to Aurora, Colorado police.

The rocket will help scientists study the Earth's magnetic field lines by releasing a cloud of vapor.

The adopted pit bull dog was surrendered to the Denver Dumb Friends League animal shelter and euthanized following the attack.

The 69-year-old is accused of helping Scott Campbell cover his tracks after he detonated a device in Colorado on Christmas Day.

Some solar cycles feature lots of activity, while others can be relatively quiet.

The "dunes" can be found at an altitude of around 62 miles in the upper part of an atmospheric layer known as the mesosphere.

The Space Weather Prediction Center says the "moderate" storm will arrive on May 16.

A sunspot region produced a series of coronal mass ejections starting on May 10.
