Solar flares are characterized by intense bursts of energy and radiation from the Sun’s surface. In a matter of just a few ...

Earth just experienced a rare S4 solar radiation storm, the most intense since 2003 — powerful for satellites and astronauts, ...

"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

You may not have noticed—how could you?—but Earth recently went through a rare S4 solar radiation storm, the strongest one we ...

By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are central features of solar activity that significantly influence space weather. SEPs are high‐energy particles expelled ...

ESA’s Solar Orbiter discovered cascading magnetic avalanches on the Sun, triggering powerful solar flares and particle storms ...

At times, the sun ejects energetic material into space, which can have consequences for space-based and even ground-based electronic technology. Researchers aim to understand this phenomenon and find ...

Please join the Lowell Center for Space Science and Technology on Thursday, March 27, at 11am for a virtual seminar by Jamie S. Rankin, "Survey of Energetic Particles Viewed by Parker Solar Probe." ...

Solar wind sounds poetic, but it's a very real and powerful phenomenon, connecting the Sun to every part of our solar system.
