The Sun has shifted into a volatile mood, hurling vast clouds of charged particles into space and putting Earth squarely in ...

Northern lights occur when a solar flare interacts with Earth's atmosphere.

Space scientists have announced that the Sun has fired four massive solar flares. The outbursts were captured by NASA’s Solar ...

Fired from a vast sunspot, the "coronal mass ejection" is expected to reach Earth on either Thursday or Friday this week.

A new sunspot group has quickly grown and is spewing out the most intense type of solar flare. Effects on Earth are forecast ...

Even at a distance of 93 million miles (150 million kilometers) away, activity on the Sun can have adverse effects on technological systems on Earth. Solar flares – intense bursts of energy in the Sun ...

A coronal mass ejection (CME) is a large-scale eruptive solar phenomenon in which magnetized plasma from the Sun’s corona is expelled into interplanetary space, typically associated with magnetic ...

Typically, intense geomagnetic storms stem from massive CMEs, expulsions of plasma and magnetic fields from the Sun's corona.

It’s incredible to think that the sun, roughly 93 million miles away, can mess with our power grids here on Earth and paint our night skies with ribbons of green and red. But that’s exactly what ...
