Solar flares are characterized by intense bursts of energy and radiation from the Sun’s surface. In a matter of just a few ...

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

Solar flares have an enormous impact on the wider Solar System. These sudden releases of energy can cause geomagnetic storms on Earth and radio blackouts too, like the one that's happened in the last ...

The sun released a powerful solar flare followed by a fast-moving coronal mass ejection on January 18, resulting in a ...

A massive X1.9 solar flare and coronal mass ejection lit up the northern skies with dazzling auroras captured by NASA.

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...

Solar Orbiter observations show that a medium-class solar flare formed through cascading magnetic reconnection events, ...

X1.9-rated solar flare erupted from sunspot 4341 on January 18, causing R-3 radio blackouts.

The Sun caused an intense X-class solar flare, the strongest in 23 years, which sent a fast coronal mass ejection hurtling ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...
