Stars often whip their planets with solar winds and radiation, pull them ever closer with gravity and sear them with heat.

The M-class flare was accompanied by a coronal mass ejection currently forecast to land Earth with a glancing blow on June 18.

One of the strongest solar storms in recent history is the infamous Carrington Event in 1859, when a super-strong solar flare hit the Earth.

The solar storm that will hit Earth could cause the “Internet apocalypse,” scientists warn The solar coronal ejections were recorded between May 13 and 14. It is expected that the particles will ...

Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation coming from the sun. They are the most powerful explosions in our solar system, according to NASA. The biggest solar flares are labeled as X-class flares.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if a solar flare hit Earth tomorrow? It’s a scenario that seems straight out of a science fiction ... Read more The post What If a Solar Flare Hit Earth ...

A solar flare is visible with just the normal eight-minute light delay between Earth and the Sun, while a CME takes two to three days to get here.

While solar flares put on an incredible show here on Earth, our understanding of what is actually happening on the sun to trigger these massive explosions into the solar system has been incomplete.

When the high-energy radiation of a solar flare hits the ionosphere in the Earth's upper atmosphere, it ionizes atoms and molecules, leading to enhanced absorption of radio waves, particularly ...
