Improving Space Weather Predictions Flickering patterns in coronal loops may signal solar flares 2 to 6 hours before they ...

"Some of the extreme ultraviolet light above active regions flickers erratically for a few hours before a solar flare," ...

For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares—intense bursts of light on the sun that can ...

“The Sun’s corona is a dynamic environment, and each solar flare is like a snowflake — every single flare is unique,” said Kara Kniezewski of the Air Force Institute of ...

So last year's total represents a surprisingly sharp spike in X-class flare frequency. The obvious reason for the increased ...

NASA finds flickering coronal loops signal solar flares, paving the way for better space weather predictions and safety ...

As the sun geared up to spit a powerful solar flare into space, NASA scientists snapped huge loops of plasma leaping from the sun's surface. These spectacular solar structures, known as coronal ...

So last year's total represents a surprisingly sharp spike in X-class flare frequency. The obvious reason for the increased frequency is the arrival of solar maximum. This peak in the sun's ...

The resulting ... Magnetic Field Maps of the Sun's Corona Sep. 11, 2024 — Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough in solar physics by successfully producing detailed maps of the Sun's ...

The sun is not quite done with 2024. Early Sunday (Dec. 29), the sun fired off a class X1.1 solar flare, one of the most powerful types of solar explosions possible, in what may be its last major ...
