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 sun unleashed a strong X1.1 solar flare on Friday, March 28, as scientists continue to monitor the possibilities of ...

Solar flares are spectacular, yet potentially dangerous, eruptions of energy from the Sun's surface. They occur when intense magnetic energy that has built up in the solar atmosphere is suddenly ...

Solar flares are bursts of radiation from the sun’s surface, sometimes followed by a bubble of magnetized plasma particles called a coronal mass ejection (CME). If they happen to spray out in ...

Well, that’s a bit dramatic (it explodes a lot) — but a particularly large sunspot named AR2781 produced a C5-class solar flare which is a medium-sized explosion even for the Sun. Flares range ...

"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 career." India's first sun-studying spacecraft, Aditya-L1, has captured ...

The spacecraft recorded the first-ever image of a solar flare ‘kernel.’ This rare observation was made in the lower solar atmosphere. The captured image shows the phenomenon in the photosphere ...

India’s first dedicated space based solar mission, Aditya-L1, has made a ground-breaking observation as one of its scientific payloads has captured the first-ever image of a solar flare ...
