These events are called coronal mass ejections, or CMEs. When two of these ejections collide, they can generate powerful geomagnetic storms that can lead to beautiful auroras but may disrupt ...

This composite image shows a coronal mass ejection, a type of space weather linked to solar energetic particles, as seen from two space-based solar observatories and one ground-based instrument.

Coronal mass ejections, or CMEs ... CMEs, when not aimed at Earth, aren’t a big deal, but if a wave of high energy particles comes sweeping past Earth it can seriously mess with our technology.

Tuesday (March 4) is shaping up to be a delightful day for space explorers, as not one but two major NASA missions are expected to take to the skies — and interestingly, though the spacecraft ...

However, during events called coronal mass ejections huge amounts of plasma are catapulted out of the Sun's outermost layers. When these waves hit Earth they trigger geomagnetic storms which make ...

And so the news was recently sprinkled with stories of the discovery of electron bursts beyond the edge of our solar system, caused by shock waves from coronal mass ejection (CME) from our Sun ...

while a solar flare causes the eruption of a coronal mass ejection (centre). At Earth, radiation from the flare affects Earth's daytime side (red waves), while the solar wind sculpts the planet's ...

Particularly, his recent work focused on three central scientific questions: the viability of the Alfven Wave Solar Model (AWSoM ... expertise in solar environment to study the stellar coronal mass ...
