Several months back, a video of a solar flare that lasted three hours surfaced. A sunspot captured by the Inouye Solar Telescope. Image source: NSO/AURA/NSF This most recent X-class solar flare ...

And NASA doesn’t see these solar flares improving in the coming years. A sunspot captured by the Inouye Solar Telescope. Image source: NSO/AURA/NSF Every solar flare that erupts and every bit of ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) has released an audio-visual representation of solar activity over the last three years, pulling data from its Solar Orbiter probe, which it runs with NASA.

The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a belching protostar in its infancy. By studying the dust grains whirling around it, astronomers hope to better understand how solar systems like our ...

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 ...

On April 6, 2024, the JWST detected a 40-minute flare from the black hole. The telescope's observations backed up the simulations that suggest criss-crossing magnetic field lines drive the flares.

Intense solar flares—sudden bursts of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun—can shoot out hazardous levels of energy strong enough to reach Earth’s atmosphere. Predicting solar flares, ...
