solar flare

The colorful auroras showed up from Scotland to Canada after scientists warned of potentially disruptive events following the space-based phenomenon.

The flare was facing away from Earth at the time it was recorded, but soon our planet could be looking "right down the beam" of solar activity.

It comes just weeks after scientists warned that a solar storm could set off voltage alarms and cause radio disruption.

The storm caused auroras as bright as day and widespread communications disruptions back in 1859.

Solar storms have the potential to knock out power systems, and some warnings have been issued because of this burst of activity.

Scientists announced the start of Solar Cycle 25, signaling the end of the solar minimum, on September 15.

The film was created from some of the 425 million high-res images taken of the sun over the past decade.

NASA said the flares may suggest the sun is emerging from the solar minimum and entering its next cycle.

Solar storms found to "profoundly modify" the foreshock—the region that extends beyond the magnetic field.

Researchers identified unusual solar activity around 660 BC in astrological records they then matched to tree ring data.

Scientists predict current solar cycle will come to an end in the first six months of 2020.

These storms happen more than a hundred times a year.

Although the flare lasted just 10 seconds, it made the star appear about 1,000 times brighter than usual.

The solar minimum is coming and scientists are getting ready.

The sun just produced its biggest solar flare for 12 years—despite supposedly being in one of its quietest phases.

The X9.3 solar flare was the largest since 2005 when an X17 flare was recorded.

The mission will help us better understand the extreme regions on our star—and the dangers they pose to Earth.

Executive order warns massive solar flares can significantly disrupt critical infrastructure on Earth.
