The sun emits the largest solar flare of this 11-year cycle, as imaged by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory on October 3. ... The current solar maximum likely began in early 2023, ... Deseret News ...
The aurora is expected to be bright and visible in multiple northern U.S. states Oct. 3 through Oct. 5 as well as from the lower Midwest to Oregon.
The good news is that Earth should be out of the line of fire this time because the flare erupted on a part of the sun moving away from Earth. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the bright ...
In 2012, a solar flare far larger than either the May storm or the one now in progress — described by NASA as “big enough to knock modern civilization back to the 18th century” — barely ...
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 ...
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.
NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this image of a strong solar flare on May 8, 2024. The image shows a blend of 171 and 131 Angstrom light, subsets of extreme ultraviolet light.
