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.
Colossal X-class solar flare erupts from 'rule-breaking' sunspot — and Earth is in the firing line
A 'rule-breaking' sunspot has fired off an extremely powerful X-class solar flare, launching a CME toward Earth that could bring vibrant weekend auroras.
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.
Auroras could paint Earth's skies again in early June. Here are the key nights to watch for.
The monster sunspot responsible for May's vibrant auroras will be facing Earth again in a matter of days, and it still appears to be active. Here's when to be alert for the next display of northern lights on the nights close to June's new moon.
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.
Gargantuan sunspot 15-Earths wide shoots powerful X-class flare toward Earth, triggering radio blackouts
A sunspot so big it rivals the gigantic sunspot responsible for the Carrington Event in 1859 has unleashed another X-class solar flare, triggering radio blackouts on Earth.
Powerful X-class solar flare slams Earth, triggering radio blackout over the Pacific Ocean
On March 28, Earth was hit by an X-class solar flare that was strong enough to ionize part of the planet's atmosphere.
What if the Carrington Event, the largest solar storm ever recorded, happened today?
If a solar storm as big as the Carrington Event struck today, it could lead to years long power outages.
Earth hit by radiation from rare 'double' X-class solar flare, triggering most powerful geomagnetic storm in 6 years
A recent X-class flare, which was split into two simultaneous explosions, launched a coronal mass ejection that smashed into Earth, triggering the most powerful disruption to our planet's magnetic field for more than six years.
