the Sun has reached solar maximum: a repeating crescendo of solar activity that often comes with increased solar flares. True to form, it seems like there's another flare every few days.

And that’s all without the solar flare reaching the peak of its 11-year cycle. In fact, the Sun isn’t expected to meet the “solar maximum” until sometime in 2025. So, until that happens ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

The sun is reaching a solar maximum. Here's what that could mean for Iowa and our chances to see the aurora borealis, known ...

As the sun geared up to spit a powerful solar flare into space, NASA scientists snapped huge loops of plasma leaping from the sun's surface. These spectacular solar structures, known as coronal ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) has released an audio-visual representation of solar activity over the last three years, pulling data from its Solar Orbiter probe, which it runs with NASA.

Flickering, invisible “loops” in the sun’s atmosphere appear to warn of larger solar flares to come, a new analysis finds. The discovery could help scientists better predict space weather ...

The Origin of the Sun's Magnetic Field Could Lie Close to Its Surface May 22, 2024 — Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's ...

Traditional methods which rely on human analysis of solar images and data, often provide less accurate and timely forecasts.
