A trio of major solar flares triggered radio blackouts across Earth and may spark impressive northern lights as possible solar storms head our way.

Earth’s magnetic field absorbed a glancing punch from the Sun this past weekend, registering a planetary K-index of 4 on both days. That put geomagnetic activity one notch below the Kp 5 threshold ...

A University of Iowa-led physics team has detailed the extreme expansion of a magnetic cloud that originated from a huge, gaseous explosion on the sun. In a new study, the researchers describe the ...

A coronal mass ejection is a massive burst of plasma and magnetic energy from the sun that can light up Earth’s skies with auroras, or disrupt satellites and power grids if it’s strong enough. It’s ...

The northern lights may be visible overnight from 25 U.S. states early on Saturday, June 13, after a coronal mass ejection ...

A solar storm traveling at 1,400 kilometers per second is set to strike Earth on Monday. NASA has issued an alert for a ...

Tomorrow NASA finally shows their HiRise, triple current best resolution images. In ~4 days a CME (sun coronal mass ejection) is expected to slam into a now very active 3I/Atlas — potential for ...

A powerful solar storm is expected to strike Earth on June 8, potentially creating dazzling auroras, disrupting communications and giving scientists a rare opportunity to study space weather.
