A high-powered solar flare erupted from the sun last week, causing a major radio blackout in Europe and Asia. The eruption happened at 3:25 a.m., meaning that the sun wasn't in the Texas sky at the ...

Solar flares heat ions much more strongly than electrons. The finding offers a new explanation for spectral line broadening. Recent work from the Andrews suggests that particles in solar flares can ...

After weeks of relative quiet, the Sun has erupted with a series of powerful solar flares, signaling a return to more active space weather conditions. Over the weekend, three M-class solar flares were ...

Nearly a dozen states in the northern U.S. may have another opportunity to see the northern lights on Saturday, after a recent solar flare briefly disrupted radio communications, according to the ...

This is the conclusion of researchers from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, who found that the positively charged ions in solar flares—one of the two key components of solar plasma—can be ...

The northern lights may be visible along a stretch of northern states Tuesday night, and a recent solar flare could heavily disrupt radio frequencies this week, according to a National Oceanic and ...

In the span of two days last week, the sun released two strong solar flares — meaning the solar system experienced its most powerful explosions which can cause some communications blackouts on Earth, ...
