Researchers have made a potentially crucial breakthrough in solar science that could help predict solar flares with greater precision.

Social media was shocked at the sight of a red triangle around the moon during totality last Monday, with even mainstream media outlets reporting that a "solar flare" was seen. Over 40 million ...

the team studied arch-like structures called coronal loops along the edge of the sun. Coronal loops rise from magnetically driven active regions on the sun, where solar flares also originate.

Eric Mack is a reporter covering science, sustainability and space. The most powerful solar flare seen in nearly twenty years and the strongest of the current solar cycle erupted from our local ...

Solar flares are violent outbursts of electromagnetic radiation that shoot from the sun when invisible magnetic field lines at the sun's surface get twisted up until they eventually snap. These ...

As a result, the space agency says that solar flares will increase over the next few years. And that it could cause some problems for Earth throughout 2025. Of course, it isn’t all that ...

These loops are arch-like structures in the Sun’s corona. The team studied loops near strong solar flares. They observed how the brightness of these loops fluctuated hours before a flare.

The Sun’s activity cycle continues to stir things up, as our star recently unleashed a massive X-class solar flare that was strong enough to cause radio blackouts across the south Pacific.

Solar flares and coronal mass ejections are the two ... when solar weather is at its peak intensity. Over the long arc of history, there have been dozens of CMEs that scored a direct hit on ...

Well, that’s a bit dramatic (it explodes a lot) — but a particularly large sunspot named AR2781 produced a C5-class solar flare which is a medium-sized explosion even for the Sun. Flares range ...

My research interests are solar and stellar astrophysics with a specialization in spectroscopy of optical and ultraviolet emission in stellar flares. I use state-of ... and the APO ARC 3.5m) to ...
