Monster X-class flare is most powerful solar eruption since 2017, could trigger auroras and major geomagnetic storms
On Dec. 14, a 2.8 magnitude X-class flare exploded from the sun, triggering radio blackouts on Earth and unleashing a CME that could also hit our planet in the next few days. It is the most powerful solar flare in more than six years.
'Cannibal' solar explosion likely to hit Earth today, bringing strong geomagnetic storm and widespread auroras
A recent solar explosion that almost reached "X-class" status has hurled a massive coronal mass ejection toward Earth, which will likely hit our planet and trigger a geomagnetic storm on Dec. 1.
Solar storm causes 'impossible,' pumpkin-colored auroras to fill the sky
A striking new image shows bright orange auroras dancing in the night sky above Canada. But auroras should never be this color, so what's going on?
Ancient superpowered solar storm that hit Earth 14,000 years ago is the 'biggest ever identified'
High radiocarbon levels in the rings of subfossil tree stumps suggest that an incomprehensibly powerful solar storm, known as a "Miyake event," smashed into our planet more than 14 millennia ago.
See green comet Nishimura's tail get whipped away by powerful solar storm as it slingshots around the sun
After surviving its closest approach to the sun, Comet Nishimura was buffeted by a possible coronal mass ejection that briefly blew its tail away. The rare event was captured by a NASA spacecraft.
Watch: NASA spacecraft flies through a violent solar explosion for 1st time ever — and survives unscathed
NASA's Parker Solar Probe plunged through a hellish coronal mass ejection (CME) to capture its mysterious swirlings on film.
'Mystery explosion' on sun launches coronal mass ejection at Mars
The sun has launched a surprise CME directly at Mars, which could spark auroras and damage the Red Planet's atmosphere when it hits on Sept. 1.
15 dazzling images of the sun
The sun is Earth's closest star, yet its beauty is too intense to appreciate with the naked eye. Here are some of the most stunning solar images that our satellites and telescopes have captured.
