A fresh outburst from the Sun may trigger auroras in parts of the northern United States and Canada.
Delving into the behaviors of the Sun and protecting humans at home and beyond are top priorities, according to the National Academies.
Recent solar activity has triggered a severe G4 geomagnetic storm, causing auroras to appear worldwide and with more possibly visible tonight.
During a recent solar storm, NASA's Curiosity rover detected its highest-ever level of radiation reaching the surface of Mars.
Earth may experience another solar storm—and more auroras—in early June as the hyperactive sunspot cluster rotates back into view.
A recent solar storm triggered auroras around the world, but as millions watched this celestial display, its effects were also seen at the bottom of the ocean.
Plus: The tech that got hit by the solar storm, orcas sink another yacht, and the truth behind Wegovy.
A severe geomagnetic storm triggered auroras around much of the globe this past weekend, but conspiracy theorists are falsely pointing to a human cause.
SpaceX's Elon Musk said the company's Starlink satellites were "under a lot of pressure" from the incoming radiation.
Plus: the world is warned to prepare for a geomagnetic storm, and a new fusion record.
“We have a very rare event on our hands," according to space weather forecasters.
A batch of strong solar flares has appeared on the Sun over the past few days, prompting officials to issue a severe geomagnetic storm watch.
This historically large sunspot, now 15 times wider than Earth, rivals the one linked to the colossal solar storm of 1859.
Measuring nearly 12 Earth-widths across, the stellar phenomenon could unleash powerful solar flares, threatening satellites and power grids.
A solar superstorm could cause a rail disaster, scientists warn.
A big solar flare from November 28 will arrive on Earth overnight, potentially creating opportunities for aurora sightings across the northern United States.
The probe is designed to observe space weather, allowing scientists to better understand its effects on Earth.
STEREO-A will pass between Earth and the Sun for its first flyby since launch in 2006, collaborating with other missions to reveal new insights about our star.
Both solar flares were X-class events, the most intense and energetic storms the Sun can emit.
A geomagnetic solar storm is forecast to make the aurora borealis visible in much of the lower 48 on Thursday night. Here's where to look.
