NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a solar flare — seen as the bright flash in the center – on Oct. 3, 2024. ... the Sun had released a slightly less powerful but still ...
How can solar flares affect technology? Solar flares only affect Earth when they occur on the side of the sun facing Earth, NASA says. Past solar flares have caused issues with technology, but it ...
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 ...
Post-eruptive loops in the wake of a solar flare, image taken by the TRACE satellite (photo by NASA). In solar physics, a solar particle event (SPE), also known as a solar energetic particle event or solar radiation storm, [a] [1] is a solar phenomenon which occurs when particles emitted by the Sun, mostly protons, become accelerated either in the Sun's atmosphere during a solar flare or in ...
The incoming solar storm arose from a strong flare near “Region 3500” on the Sun, scientists say. Solar storms are known to interfere with the Earth’s magnetic field and cause damages to ...
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.
On 8 May 2024, a solar active region which had been assigned the NOAA region number 13664 (AR3664) produced an X1.0-class and multiple M-class solar flares and launched several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) toward Earth. [6] On 9 May, the active region produced an X2.25- and X1.12-class flare each associated with a full-halo CME.
