The peak of Solar Cycle 25 started in January and goes through October, which means we could see more solar flares in the coming months. Solar flares decrease as the sun nears solar minimum.
A powerful solar flare has been hurled out of the Sun, and could cause disruption on Earth. The flare comes amid increasing solar activity that has brought a run of intense space weather in recent ...
The Sun has unleashed a powerful solar flare, Nasa has said. The flare, designated X2.3, belongs to the most intense X class of flares. It was spotted by Nasa’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which ...
A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere. Flares occur in active regions and are often, but not always, accompanied by coronal mass ejections, solar particle events, and other eruptive solar phenomena. The occurrence of solar flares varies with the 11-year solar cycle.
Solar flares are “powerful bursts of energy that can impact radio communications, power girds and navigation signals,” according to the Space Weather Prediction Center. In an update on May 11 ...
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare on Oct. 1, 2024. NASA had a busy start to October, as the agency announced that the sun emitted several major solar flares ...
The solar storms of May 2024 (also known as 2024 Mother's Day solar storm [1] or Gannon storm in memory of Jennifer Gannon, [2] a space weather physicist [3]) were a series of powerful solar storms with extreme solar flares and geomagnetic storm components that occurred from 10–13 May 2024 during solar cycle 25.
"A new study of 56,000 sun-like stars reveals that other stars like ours may experience powerful superflares about once per century, shedding light on the potential for rare but extreme solar ...
