The powerful belch of material ejected during a solar flare may be way hotter than scientists thought it was. A new mathematical analysis suggests that the engine driving solar flares is far more ...

The sun is not a static, tranquil sphere of gas, but an active, turbulent star with magnetic fields that twist and snap in powerful eruptions. Among the most striking and energetic of these eruptions ...

Scientists tracked a single active region on the Sun for 94 days using two spacecraft, far beyond the typical two-week ...

Waves of solar flares keep pouring out of the sun, sparking "rolling" radio blackouts across the world. Active sunspot regions on the sun's surface are responsible for the flares, which are classified ...

The sun may be 93 million miles away, but that does not stop its solar activity from affecting the Earth's atmosphere, a new study from Queen's University Belfast as found. The Earth's atmosphere is ...

In the span of two days last week, the sun released two strong solar flares — meaning the solar system experienced its most powerful explosions which can cause some communications blackouts on Earth, ...
