Latest about coronal mass ejection
X9 solar flare launched from sun is the biggest in 7 years — and Earth is in the firing line (again)
The sun has unleashed the most powerful solar flare since 2017, just days after it spat out another monster explosion. Both outbursts have launched solar storms that will likely hit Earth this weekend and trigger vibrant aurora displays.
Monster X-class flare launches massive solar storm towards Earth — and could trigger auroras this weekend
The sun just unleashed one of its largest solar explosions in recent years, temporarily causing a radio blackout on Earth and spitting out a coronal mass ejection that will likely collide with our planet this weekend.
Intense solar storm opens '2-way highway' for charged particles, sparking rare auroras on the sun
Last year, Earth spewed charged particles into the sun in a rare cosmic event that has surprised scientists.
Barrage of solar explosions could bring auroras to the U.S. this weekend as Perseid meteor shower peaks
Three powerful solar eruptions could bring auroras as far south as New York and Idaho right at the peak of the Perseid meteor shower this weekend.
Sun fires off double-barreled X-class flares in span of 2 hours
Solar activity is expected to remain high this week.
Powerful solar eruption temporarily rips 'tail' off Earth's magnetosphere
A massive disturbance in the solar wind caused Earth’s magnetosphere to fly without its usual tail.
Auroras expected tonight and through the weekend as US braces from 'cannibal' solar eruption
A chain of solar outbursts, including a "cannibal" coronal mass ejection that slammed Earth on Tuesday, will bring lovely auroras to parts of the northern US and most of Canada this weekend. Here's where to look.
Scientists discover the possible origin of the sun's magnetic field, and it's not where they thought it was
New simulations suggest that the origins of the sun's explosive storms could lie much closer to its surface than first thought.
4 solar flares simultaneously erupt from the sun in rare 'super' explosion — and Earth could be hit by the fallout
In the early hours of Tuesday (April 23), quadruple solar flares near-simultaneously exploded from across the sun's surface, and there's a good chance that one of these outbursts launched a solar storm toward Earth.
