Shining loops of plasma on the surface of the sun "flicker" hours before they unleash potentially dangerous solar flares, a new study shows. The new findings could help create more reliable space ...

Now, scientists at NASA have found patterns which could help predict solar flares, the most common form of solar disturbances, and the cause of space weather. A team of scientists using NASA’s ...

Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation from the sun that can have significant effects on space weather, impacting satellite operations, communication systems, and even power grids on Earth.

MORE: This is when peak northern lights activity will occur These sunspots can produce solar flares and coronal mass ejections that manifest in a dazzling light show when they reach Earth.

The US Energy Information Agency (EIA) has forecast that power generation growth in the country up to 2027 will be driven predominantly by solar capacity additions, in its latest short-term energy ...
