Radio disruption occurred across North and South America.
This is rare footage of a solar flare erupting from the sun. NASA captured the high definition images with its new observation satellite, called IRIS. The eruption, also known as a coronal mass ...
The biggest solar flare in five years that occurred on March 6 nears Earth with the capacity to disrupt power grids, GPS systems and airline flights. (AP via USA Today) Physicists from Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory report data suggesting the elusive hypothesized Higgs boson ("God particle") may have been detected. (New York Times
A solar flare from a sunspot region associated with this activity and preceding this period produced the then largest flare detected during the Space Age at about X20 (the first event to saturate spaceborne monitoring instruments, this was exceeded in 2003) but was directed away from Earth.
A solar flare is a sudden flash of brightness observed over the Sun's surface or the solar limb, which is interpreted as an energy release of up to 6 × 10 25 joules (about a sixth of the total Sun's energy output each second or 160 billion megatons of TNT equivalent, over 25,000 times more energy than released from the impact of Comet ...
Yes; the sun emitted two strong solar flares Wednesday and Thursday, according to NASA. ... Each letter class represents a tenfold increase in energy output, NASA says. That means an X-class is 10 ...
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 strong blasts of energy that come out of the Sun and can cause danger to life on Earth
