Intense solar flares—sudden bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun—can shoot out hazardous levels of energy strong enough to reach Earth’s atmosphere. Predicting solar flares, ...

Shining loops of plasma on the surface of the sun "flicker" hours before they unleash potentially dangerous solar flares, a new study shows. The new findings could help create more reliable space ...

Now, research funded by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research has successfully identified an erratic flickering phenomenon that manifests within coronal loops, arching structures that appear in ...

The Origin of the Sun's Magnetic Field Could Lie Close to Its Surface May 22, 2024 — Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's ...

Here’s how it works. Shining loops of plasma on the surface of the sun "flicker" hours before they unleash potentially dangerous solar flares, a new study shows. The new findings could help ...

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.

One such example is a poem from 1689 by the Japanese poet Matsuo Bashō, which reflects a long-standing tradition of finding peace in the forest. Today, this practice is known as shinrin-yoku ...

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of coronal loops above an active region on the Sun in mid-January 2012. The image was taken in the 171 angstrom wavelength of extreme ultraviolet ...

An expanding sinkhole has prompted Japanese authorities to evacuate hundreds. Plus, we have a look at this Sunday’s Grammy Awards lineup.
