Astronomers are warning that Earth could be hit any minute by space weather and intense aurora borealis following the sun's April 1 venting of the most powerful category of solar flare.The Space ...

A powerful X1.1-class solar flare was released by the sun on March 28, resulting in radio blackouts across North and South ...

The sun has once again unleashed a powerful solar flare, continuing its streak of intense activity. On April 1, at 2:46 a.m.

If they happen to spray out in Earth’s direction, CMEs can cause geomagnetic storms that damage power systems on the ground or spacecraft in orbit. And solar flare radiation itself can disrupt ...

After an X-class solar flare erupted, shortwave radio blackouts were detected across the Americas — the sunlit side of Earth at the time. These disruptions, common during intense solar activity, occur ...

The storm arrives after days of solar flares that reportedly sent bursts of plasma and magnetic fields towards Earth, prompting a watch that could trigger flashy light displays and communication ...

Space experts are watching a sunspot region known as AR4046 which recently produced a significant solar flare and coronal mass ejection that had the potential to be as significant as the solar storm ...

As such, it is regularly releasing solar flares. Those flares can disrupt communications and infrastructure on Earth, as well as giving us beautiful aurorae as they collide with Earth’s atmosphere.

The event follows reports of at least seven massive solar flares or earth-directed Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) from a sunspot cluster 16 times the diameter of Earth. These solar eruptions cause ...

The strong “X2.0-class” flare erupted from the Sun at about 7.30 pm GMT from a sunspot rotating out of view from the Earth, the agency said. Solar flares are ranked on a four-class scale ...

The sun has been active in recent weeks, with active geomagnetic storms occurring in the northern regions of the U.S. The X1.1 solar flare on Friday shows that it is likely not Earth-directed.
