Our planet was rocked by some of the worst geomagnetic storms in more than 20 years. Triggered by a slew of solar flares, the ...

Ever since the beginning of the Space Age, the inner planets and the Earth-Moon system have received the lion’s share of attention. That makes sense; it’s a whole lot easier to get to the Moon, or ...

The sun erupted with an X1.9-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the blast in multiple wavelengths.

Watch this one-week time-lapse of the coronal hole in the Sun's atmosphere from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory. Amazing ...

In a stunning display of its power, the sun unleashed its largest solar flare in 20 years. The X8.7 flare peaked at 12:51 p.m. ET on May 14 and was captured in several images by NASA's Solar Dynamics ...

The European Space Agency (ESA) and NASA are collaborating on the ‘International Living with a Star’ (ILWS) programme that will study the behaviour of the Sun and its effect on our planet. European ...

Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ultraviolet light before a solar flare, which could act as an early warning system ...

A solar eclipse on April 27, 2025, as seen only by NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory. When is the next solar eclipse? Yesterday and today — but they were not reported in advance. Why? They were only in ...

DYING COMET: Scientists at the Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Laboratory in Palo Alto, Calif., have used the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly instrument on board NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory ...

The sun emitted three mid-level solar flares on July 22-23, 2016, the strongest peaking at 1:16 am EDT on July 23. The sun is currently in a period of low activity, moving toward what’s called solar ...

The "milestone in solar physics" will help scientists better understand space weather and its impact on our tech-dependent ...
