Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ...

Flickering coronal loops in the Sun's outer atmosphere could act as an early warning system for solar flares, according to ...

Here’s how it works. Shining loops of plasma on the surface of the sun "flicker" hours before they unleash potentially dangerous solar flares, a new study shows. The new findings could help ...

Flickering coronal "loops" on the Sun are warning signs of a coming solar eruption, paving the way for better space weather ...

NASA finds flickering coronal loops signal solar flares, paving the way for better space weather predictions and safety ...

There were significantly more X-class solar flares in 2024 than any other year for at least three decades. The arrival of ...

The sun is not quite done with 2024. Early Sunday (Dec. 29), the sun fired off a class X1.1 solar flare, one of the most powerful types of solar explosions possible, in what may be its last major ...

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured sunspot AR3386 blast a long-duration X1.6-class solar flare and X1 flare. See time ...

SWPC officials watched the X1.1. flare erupt with an instrument on its GOES-16 weather satellite. GOES-16 is part of a fleet of NOAA and NASA spacecraft that monitor the sun continuously for solar ...

For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares—intense bursts of light on the sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now, using NASA's ...
