After an X-class solar flare erupted, shortwave radio blackouts were detected across the Americas — the sunlit side of Earth at the time. These disruptions, common during intense solar activity, occur ...

The sun unleashed a strong X1.1 solar flare on Friday, March 28, as scientists continue to monitor the possibilities of ...

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 ...

Solar flares, the immense bursts of radiation from the sun, have long fascinated scientists and enthusiasts alike. But beyond ...

"It is a great stroke of luck that Aditya-L1 was able to witness such a strong flare right at the beginning of its research career." India's first sun-studying spacecraft, Aditya-L1, has captured ...

SUIT has captured a solar flare ‘kernel’ in the photosphere and chromosphere, recording images in the near-ultraviolet (NUV) band. In a historic first, the Solar Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope ...

The spacecraft recorded the first-ever image of a solar flare ‘kernel.’ This rare observation was made in the lower solar atmosphere. The captured image shows the phenomenon in the photosphere ...

Images from ISRO’s Aditya-L1—India’s first mission to the Sun—reveal a solar flare ‘kernel’ in the lower layers of the atmosphere, according to an analysis. This provides new insights ...

India’s first dedicated space based solar mission, Aditya-L1, has made a ground-breaking observation as one of its scientific payloads has captured the first-ever image of a solar flare ...

He can be reached at [email protected]. ‘Solar Flare’ is a weekly playlist column where Sun contributors spotlight a slice of musical taste with the campus community. It runs every Monday.

And a few months later, spectacular auroras, which could even be seen in southern Europe, were accompanied by similarly strong flares. Other space observatories, such as NASA's Solar Dynamics ...

For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares—intense bursts of light on the sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now ...
