Solar Flare

A new study led by a team out of India has found that Earth’s protective magnetic field cracked after an intense geomagnetic storm observed by the GRAPES-3 muon telescope on June 22, 2015.

The sun can erupt with flares more energetic than 30 billion times the yield of all nuclear weapons ever detonated.

When a space hurricane was unleashed from the sun on January 7 2014, space-weather centres around the world sent out warnings.

Two solar flares which erupted in our direction this week will arrive this weekend. The resulting solar storm will be powerful but not dangerous.

The angel seems to fly toward the sun. It’s trailing dress stretches a distance equivalent to 1,000 Earths, past the moon (which is only 60 Earths away).

Mysterious radio bursts from billions of light years away—one of many reasons to listen to the skies.

Superflares are powerful magnetic events much larger than solar flares. They erupt above giant starspots on a variety of stars, but the mechanism behind them is unclear.

As the sun approaches solar maximum in 2013, new light has been shed upon the effect of solar events on our planet’s magnetosphere.

The largest solar flare in four years was seen shot out from the sun and is currently in progress.
