Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the ...
The Sun has started spooky season with a bang, letting loose on October 1 with a colossal flare and coronal mass ejection ...
Scientists have raised concerns about the potential disruption to global communication infrastructure, including the internet, due to increased solar storms and flares during the Solar Maximum phase.
Solar flares are bursts of radiation from the sun’s surface, sometimes followed by a bubble of magnetized plasma particles called a coronal mass ejection (CME). If they happen to spray out in ...
The sun unleashed a strong X1.1 solar flare on Friday, March 28, as scientists continue to monitor the possibilities of coronal mass ejections, which can ultimately lead to geomagnetic storms ...
The Sun periodically ejects huge bubbles of plasma from its surface that contain an intense magnetic field. These events are called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. When two of these ejections collide ...
MOSCOW, December 25. /TASS/. Scientists detected five powerful M-class solar flares on December 24, Russia’s Fedorov Institute of Applied Geophysics has told TASS. "On December 24, at around 3: ...
There may be more northern lights – or aurora borealis – sightings this spring. As we near the spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, on March 20, the Earth's magnetic field and ...
