This storm is caused by a powerful solar flare. The sun ejected this X-class solar flare in 2023. NASA/SDO. The sun has been especially active over the last 48 hours. It's released many M-class ...
The ionospheric disturbance enhances VLF radio propagation. Scientists on the ground can use this enhancement to detect solar flares; by monitoring the signal strength of a distant VLF transmitter, sudden ionospheric disturbances (SIDs) are recorded and indicate when solar flares have taken place.

A solar flare is an intense burst of radiation associated with sunspots that releases magnetic energy out into space, according to NASA. These giant explosions from the sun send energy, light, and ...
NOAA's GOES-R Series of satellites is designed to improve the forecasts of weather, ocean, and environment by providing faster and more detailed data, real-time images of lightning, and advanced monitoring of solar activities and space weather. GOES-17 can collect three times more data at four times image resolution, and scan the planet five ...
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 ...
The aim of the SWFO program is to ensure the robust continuity of space-based measurement of the critical space weather environment. [3] [4] All of the spacecraft located in L 1 which are currently monitoring CMEs and the solar wind have operated beyond
The solar storms of August 1972 were a historically powerful series of solar storms with intense to extreme solar flare, solar particle event, and geomagnetic storm components in early August 1972, during solar cycle 20. The storm caused widespread electric- and communication-grid disturbances through large portions of North America as well as ...
