Scientists spot unusual solar flare emissions that defy current solar models
Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST) have captured a solar flare that defies all expectations, shaking the foundations of solar physics. This new discovery, reported in two studies, New Solar Flare Observations Challenge Leading Theories and Spectroscopic Analysis and RHD Modeling of the First Ca II H and H-epsilon Flare Spectra,
A massive solar flare produced a coronal mass ejection (CME) heading toward Earth, raising concerns for the Artemis II moon mission.
A new NASA spacecraft has started tracking the particle streams that can make a massive solar flare dangerous while mapping the Sun’s shield. That pairing connects short-term storm warnings near Earth with the far boundary that helps block harsher radiation from deep space.
An X1.4 solar flare triggered radio blackouts and launched a fast CME as NASA prepares for its Artemis 2 moon mission.
In October 1989, a blast from the sun flung out a stream of super-powered protons. This solar storm lasted for days and forced astronauts working in low-Earth orbit, aboard NASA’s Atlantis space shuttle, to retreat to a shielded storm shelter in the farthest interior of the craft.
A strong solar flare peaked just after 9 a.m. Tuesday, but what does that mean? Can it be seen from Earth?Tuesday's solar flare was not the first this year or even this month. Here is more information:What is a solar flare?According to NASA, a solar flare ...
This Feb. 4, 2026, image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captures a strong solar flare erupting from the star. Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy that can, along with other types of solar eruptions, impact ... Just as avalanches on ...
Sunspot AR3165 has erupted with several m-class solar flares in a span of a few hours. NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the fireworks in several wavelengths. Credit: Space.com | footage courtesy: NASA/SDO/helioviewer.
