By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.
A New Mexico State University (NMSU) astronomy Ph.D. student, who was leading a data cataloging project, findings link ...
The massive sunspot that sparked an "extreme" geomagnetic storm in May 2024 unleashed hundreds of other dangerous solar ...
Scientists have long studied the sun, our solar system’s life-giving star, trying to understand its behavior, solar flares, and how it affects Earth. While we all rely on the sun for warmth and light, ...
Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most ...
Three strong Class M flares were recorded on the Sun. This was reported on December 29 on the website of the Laboratory of ...
A new solar storm is approaching. In 2025 there were several, but they did not have serious consequences. Now, the US ...
The sun is not only our closest stellar neighbor, it's also the star we understand the most. As we've observed it over the ...
Beautiful yet dangerous solar flares that erupt from the sun could be as hot as 180 million degrees Fahrenheit, researchers say. That's more than six times hotter than solar physicists previously ...
What processes are responsible for heating solar flares and what dangers do they pose to Earth? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as an ...
