Our Sun constantly froths with sunspots and solar flares, many larger than our planet, and yet these are dwarfed by Coronal Mass Ejections, such as the Carrington Event of 1859, which would have wiped ...

Solar Maximum 2025 is the expected peak of solar activity in Solar Cycle 25, characterized by heightened sunspots, solar ...

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured sunspot AR3386 blast a long-duration X1.6-class solar flare and X1 flare. See time ...

A fluffy, Jupiter-sized planet may be triggering deadly flares from its star, leading to the slow destruction of its own ...

DOI: 10.3847/1538-3881/add33e A new study has uncovered a connection between solar flares—sudden outbursts of radiation from stars—and short-term weather patterns on distant Earth-like planets.

A powerful X1.9-class solar flare blasted out of the sun's active region 4114 on June 19, peaking at 9:50 p.m. EDT (0150 GMT, June 20), and led to a shortwave radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean and ...

Red Magic has announced that pre-orders for the Red Magic 10 Air Flare variant will begin globally on June 23. The phone launched earlier in China and was introduced to global markets in April.

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which could cause a series of radio and satellite blackouts across the U.S., according to NASA. Solar flares are powerful bursts ...

In May 2024, the largest solar flare since 2017 was detected, ranking at an X-8.7 magnitude. Then in 2025, a flare May 13 was classified as an X-1.2 , and another the next day was listed as an X-2.7.

Sun has blasted an X flare towards Earth once again. The eruption reached us and disrupted communications systems. Sunspot region 4114 released the X flare, the most powerful solar flare, on Tuesday ...

It was an X-class flare — the most intense kind, NASA said. Solar flares are essentially "giant explosions on the sun" that send energy, light and high-speed particles into space, according to NASA.
