Scientists develop a forecasting system that predicts high-risk windows and regions for solar superflares, using 50 years of X-ray data and machine learning techniques.

Researchers say a deadly earthquake in Japan and 2023’s most powerful solar flare occurring back-to-back can’t be a ...

Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ...

Earlier this week, the number of visible sunspots on our home star fell to zero for the first time in 1,335 days. This ...

The paper suggests that solar flares disrupt Earth's magnetic field, which, in turn, causes changes in the upper atmosphere. These purportedly filter down to the forces affecting Earth's crust. It ...

Solar flares are sudden releases of energy from the Sun’s surface. Scientists categorise them based on strength, beginning with A, B and C, followed by M and finally X.

A solar storm is a catchall term that describes any disturbance in the sun that involves the violent ejection of solar material into space. This can come in the form of coronal mass ejections, where ...

Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

The planet is experiencing the most powerful solar event since 2003—and it's bringing spectacular Northern Lights.

“The definition of the solar maximum is when the sunspot number is at its highest,” Dr Rachel Howe, a solar physicist at the ...

A strong solar flare peaked just after 9 a.m. Tuesday, but what does that mean? Can it be seen from Earth?Tuesday's solar flare was not the first this year or even this month. Here is more information ...
