This Feb. 4, 2026, image from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captures a strong solar flare erupting from the star. Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy that can, along with other types ...

We could be in for a Northern Light show of epic proportions. A barrage of intense flares erupted from the sun earlier this week, causing worldwide blackouts and raising the possibility that auroras ...

A newly active area on the sun is responsible for dozens of eruptions known as solar flares, including back-to-back X-class flares earlier this week. Solar flares typically originate from active ...

Space weather has seen a flurry of activity this week. An explosive solar flare that erupted Tuesday, just two days after the sun unleashed one of its most powerful flares, temporarily disrupted ...

The Sun is putting on quite a show right now. Earth-facing sunspot region 4366 has been erupting almost non-stop since it emerged on January 30, producing six X-class solar flares so far. The latest, ...

The sun emitted some of the most powerful solar flares this week, NASA announced. The star emitted three strong solar flares on Sunday, Feb. 1, peaking at 7:33 a.m. ET, 6:37 p.m. ET and 7:36 p.m. ET, ...

Scientists say this powerful surge in solar activity could set the stage for the northern lights to appear as early as Thursday, Feb. 5 Getty The sun unleashed multiple powerful X-class solar flares, ...

An intense solar flare erupted from a spot on the sun on Sunday, triggering radio blackouts across the South Pacific Ocean—and now scientists are warning of geomagnetic storms in the coming days. The ...

Dozens of powerful flares are emerging from a new cluster of activity on the sun, producing stunning photos and sparking concerns about potential risks for global navigation, radio signals and the ...

Space scientists have announced that the Sun has fired four massive solar flares. The outbursts were captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory spacecraft, which monitors our star’s activity for ...

The sun unleashed multiple powerful X-class solar flares, including an X8.3 class flare, which is the strongest of 2026 thus far Early models suggest that at least one flare-related coronal mass ...
