Combined, the power of the twin solar flares was equivalent to a M5.1 magnitude flare, the second most powerful type of solar flare. The explosions, which reportedly triggered a 30-minute radio ...

The sudden flare-up of activity may also be a sign that experts grossly underestimated how busy Solar Cycle 25 — the current iteration of the sun’s magnetic rhythm — will be.

The sun is bursting with activity at a level that hasn't been seen in nearly a decade. In less than 24 hours, the sun fired off three X-class solar flares, the highest magnitude on the scale used ...

The Sun has once again unleashed a powerful solar flare and this time it triggered radio blackouts. The flare, which happened at 1.40pm yesterday afternoon, led to a shortwave radio blackout which ...

The Sun emitted a strong solar flare, peaking at 1:50 p.m. EST on Jan. 9, 2023. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which watches the Sun constantly, captured imagery of the event.

In this handout photo provided by NASA, a Solar and Heliospheric Observatory image shows Region 486 that unleashed a a solar flare (lower left) from Nov. 18, 2003 on the sun.

The total solar eclipse was awe-inspiring, but there was no solar flare explosion during the event.(AP) The jury was out on this till now but the decision is out and it is a resounding no.
