A powerful solar flare recently occurred, but fortunately, it did not have a significant impact on Earth. However, it serves ...

Coronal loops are arc-shaped structures of plasma that follow the Sun's magnetic field lines. They often appear before solar ...

Watch footage of the Sun unleashing an X1.2-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the fireworks in ...

Scientists from the University of St Andrews have discovered that ions in solar flares can reach scorching temperatures more ...

An M6.4 class pulsed flare was recorded on the Sun. This was reported on September 28 at the Laboratory of Solar Astronomy at the Institute of Space Research (IKI) of the Russian Academy of ...

Solar flares heat ions much more strongly than electrons. The finding offers a new explanation for spectral line broadening. Recent work from the Andrews suggests that particles in solar flares can ...

With advance warning, however, steps can be taken to reduce the risks. If an electrical grid is running near capacity, for ...

A new study reveals solar flares can reach a staggering 108 million degrees Fahrenheit, six times hotter than previously ...

This is the conclusion of researchers from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, who found that the positively charged ions in solar flares—one of the two key components of solar plasma—can be ...

The world's largest solar telescope just captured the highest-resolution images of a solar flare to date — and they're spectacular. Researchers trained the Hawaii-based Daniel K. Inouye Solar ...
