The Sun emitted a strong solar flare on Jan. 18, peaking at 1:09 PM ET. NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured an image of the event, which was classified as X1.9. https://go.nasa.gov/4pMKbLQ Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. Harmful radiation from a flare cannot pass through Earth’s atmosphere to physically affect humans on the ground. However — when intense enough — they can disturb the atmosphere in the layer where GPS & communications signals travel. To see how such space we

This movie shows the M6.5-class solar flare — the bright light on the left side of the sun — on July 8, 2014. An eruption of solar material can also be seen arcing up and away. After it left the Sun, this became a coronal mass ejection, a giant cloud of solar material, headed toward Mars. Credit: NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory (Little SDO) | NASA Space Alerts

Have you heard? We are now officially in the solar maximum phase! That means we’re in the part of the 11-year solar cycle where solar eruptions, geomagnetic storms, and auroras are most likely to occur. But how do scientists tell where we are in the solar cycle? They count sunspots! Those dark solar splotches tell a story: As solar activity waxes and wanes, so does the sunspot count. But don’t just take our word for it – try it yourself! Track the current and past solar cycles with these fun sun
