Floating solar farms are becoming a popular source of clean energy, but how does this new technology impact the environment?

After an X-class solar flare erupted, shortwave radio blackouts were detected across the Americas — the sunlit side of Earth at the time. These disruptions, common during intense solar activity, occur when the flare releases X-rays and extreme ultraviolet radiation into space.

Saturday night’s northern lights display follows “strong” radio blackouts on Friday, an event that NOAA said briefly disrupted high-frequency radio communications and radio contact after an X1.1 solar flare—classified as the most intense— emitted from the sun’s surface on Thursday.

The universe is a vast, mysterious place, filled with phenomena that can both awe and alarm us. Among these cosmic events, solar superstorms stand out ... Read more The post Is NASA Prepared for the Next ‘Carrington Event’?

Some U.S. states could be treated with a northern lights display due a minor geomagnetic storm on the sun, according to space forecasts.

"It is a great stroke of luck that Aditya-L1 was able to witness such a strong flare right at the beginning of its research career."

Now, using NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory, ... At the start of this new year, we look back at close-up pictures and solar flare data recorded by the ESA-led Solar Orbiter mission over the last ...

It is basically a coronagraph that blocks the Sun to observe its corona (outermost atmospheric solar layer) which is full of mysteries. Scientists have discovered that the corona can heat up to a million degrees Fahrenheit (much higher than the solar surface) but they don't know why.

NASA shared the breathtaking image on X on Monday ... Observatory has revealed a potential breakthrough in predicting solar flares. Scientists observed brightness fluctuations in coronal loops ...

NASA’s PUNCH mission has officially come online, promising to transform our understanding of space weather. By capturing global, 3D views of the Sun’s corona, PUNCH will reveal how solar wind and explosive solar events evolve and impact our planet.

Recently, the Aditya-L1 mission captured a solar flare ‘kernel’ in the lower solar atmosphere. What is a solar flare? In 'Beyond the Nugget', know about the major solar missions.
