A new study led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) links quasi-periodic pulsations (QPPs) in solar flares to dynamic oscillations in magnetic reconnection, a phenomenon that can drive space ...

After causing the dazzling waves of aurora borealis this weekend, our Sun isn't done yet: The strongest solar flare of the current solar cycle occurred Tuesday afternoon, according to the National ...

On December 8, 2025, the sun unleashed a significant solar flare, classified as an X-class event, raising concerns among scientists and technology experts alike. This article will explore the ...

A chance for millions of people to see an aurora this weekend also brings the risk of radio and GPS disruptions for farmers in the field. On Thursday, NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center (SWPC) ...

Activity on the sun is not constant; it varies along a cycle of about 11 years. The peak of this solar cycle — called solar maximum — is when sunspots, solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) ...
