The M-class flare was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection currently forecast to land Earth with a glancing blow on June 18 ...

Solar flares, blasts of plasma gasses of solar energy might shape the short-term weather on distant planets according to a ...

Sunspot region 4114 has fired off its strongest blast yet — an X1.2-class solar flare that erupted on June 17, triggering ...

When sunspots erupt at nearly the same time, it could be something known as "sympathetic solar flares." A double eruption ...

Solar flares can affect us on Earth, and radiation from this flare caused a shortwave radio blackout. A map released by the ...

Pictures of the International Space Station as it passes in front of the Sun or Moon are a bit of a feather in the cap of ...

Unlike some previous eruptions, this solar flare was not accompanied by a coronal mass ejection or CME. CMEs are plasma clouds that can cause geomagnetic storms and auroras when they strike Earth ...

For decades, scientists have struggled to see the outermost layer of the Sun, called the corona, with enough detail to unlock ...

Solar flare eruptions are associated with solar coronal mass ejections, which occur when plasma from the sun embeds with the magnetic field surrounding Earth, NOAA explains.

Scientists are tracking a large gas planet experiencing quite a quandary as it orbits extremely close to a young star - a ...

It was an X-class flare — the most intense kind, NASA said. Solar flares are essentially "giant explosions on the sun" that send energy, light and high-speed particles into space, according to NASA.
