The gigantic coronal hole is blasting high-speed solar wind toward Earth, potentially igniting vibrant auroras and minor geomagnetic activity on Jan. 31.
A dc arc flash hazard exists in solar photovoltaic PV) power systems, but there is no widely accepted methodology for characterizing the severity of the hazard. Calculation methods have been proposed, ...
The sun is at the peak of its 11-year cycle. That means an uptick in solar flares will lead to more chances to see the northern lights over the next couple of years.
Arctech, the world’s leading solar tracking and racking solutions provider, participated in the World Future Energy Summit (WFES) 2025 in Abu Dhabi, UAE. Over the course of three vibrant days, Arctech ...
Construction of a giant celestial solar farm is underway in China, with a scale comparable to creating a "Three Gorges Dam project above the Earth". The solar farm, which would be launched into ...
Throughout much of January and February, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune will be visible splayed out in a long arc across the ... of all the solar system's planets.
Many experts say the risk may be rising because our world depends more and more on advanced technology. Solar flares, which are bursts of high-energy particles from the Sun, cause these disruptions.
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, ...
Brightness changes in coronal loops may predict solar flares Study improves forecasting with 60–80% accuracy 2–6 hours before events Findings could protect space missions and terrestrial technologies ...
Another geomagnetic storm means another chance for some lucky Americans to witness the northern lights this week after the second largest solar flare of the current cycle was observed Tuesday.
