Nearly a decade ago, an explosion on the sun "contained components of three different types of solar eruptions". Studying the ...

"It is a great stroke of luck that Aditya-L1 was able to witness such a strong flare right at the beginning of its research ...

That's because our planet's magnetic field lines channel the steady stream of particles, called the "solar wind," to the poles. But when eruptions or other disruptive events occur on the surface ...

Witness the northern lights in the northern U.S. and Midwest as solar maximum activity enhances aurora visibility.

Aditya-L1’s SUIT detects a solar flare kernel in near-UV for the first Observations confirm energy transfer across different ...

NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration track sunspots – the source of solar eruptions – to predict the progress of a solar cycle and the solar activity it fuels.

This has actually happened before: In 1859, a giant solar eruption known as the Carrington Event shut down telegraph and electrical systems for days. The aurora borealis was so strong that people ...

India's Aditya-L1 mission captures the first-ever image of a solar flare 'kernel,' providing unique insights into the Sun's ...

As the sun enters its stormy season, and as GPS systems and electricity networks become increasingly vulnerable to solar eruptions, NASA scientists are working to better understand the mysteries ...

Understanding how this energy is stored and released is necessary to predict solar eruptions and hence the space weather. I am also involved in the development of the Critical Science Plan for The ...
