Scientists have long struggled to accurately predict solar flares, but a recent breakthrough using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has uncovered a promising new sign: flickering coronal loops. These ...

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 ...

It’s notoriously difficult to predict when the sun will belch out a large solar flare — an explosive burst of radiation that ...

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

A new sunspot forming on the surface of the sun might be about to fling solar flares in our direction. The sunspot, named ...

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 ...

Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ...

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.

At the start of this new year, we look back at close-up pictures and solar flare data recorded by the ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission over the last three years. See and hear for yourself how the ...

For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares—intense bursts of light on the sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now ...
