After witnessing the array of Northern Lights as far south as Colorado, we discuss how Coronal Mass Ejections (CME) are ...

That complexity could mean bigger fireworks ahead. With the sunspot now rotating to face Earth, it could pose a threat for ...

When sunspots erupt at nearly the same time, it could be something known as "sympathetic solar flares." A double eruption ...

We’ve never known why sunspots can last on our star’s surface for as long as they do, but we finally cracked the case.

However, due to the position of sunspot AR4087 at the sun's northeastern limb, this CME and others potentially released by recent solar flares have not been directed toward Earth, instead aiming ...

The Earth's atmosphere is far more reactive to solar activity than scientists previously believed, with the new research showing it can pulse in near-synchronicity with the sun's powerful flares.

More Solar Flares Blast Toward Earth. By ABC News. December 14, 2006, 2:11 PM.

An Earth-facing sunspot region has been raging with massive eruptions of hot gas that have caused disruptions to our communications systems—and there’s still more to come. On Tuesday at 5:49 p.m. ET, ...

In May 2024, the largest solar flare since 2017 was detected, ranking at an X-8.7 magnitude. Then in 2025, a flare May 13 was classified as an X-1.2, and another the next day was listed as an X-2. ...

Solar Maximum 2025 is the expected peak of solar activity in Solar Cycle 25, characterized by heightened sunspots, solar flares, and coronal mass ejections. This peak is anticipated around mid to ...

Solar flares are bursts of radiation from the sun’s surface, sometimes followed by a bubble of magnetized plasma particles called a coronal mass ejection (CME). If they happen to spray out in ...

This means fewer sun spots and solar flares. Recently, another large sunspot has begun emerging over the sun’s northeastern limb . Called sunspot 4079, the sunspot is believed to be a new ...
