Solar flares are large eruptions of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun lasting from minutes to hours. The sudden outburst of electromagnetic energy travels at the speed of light, therefore any effect
These eruptions occur when magnetic field lines on the Sun twist and snap, typically around sunspots—darker regions on the Sun''s surface. The buildup and release of this energy can
Astronomers observed a massive, multi-temperature plasma eruption from a young Sun-like star, revealing how early solar explosions could shape planets. These fierce events may have
The sun produced its strongest solar flare of 2025, an X5.1-class eruption from sunspot AR4274 triggering severe radio disruptions across continents. The major event erupted November
Last but not least we have a list detailing all solar flares that took place today. All times listed are in UTC. The plot on this page shows us the most recent 24-hour
Though solar flares are the solar system''s most powerful explosions, it''s another kind of eruption—a coronal mass ejection (CME)—that more strongly
Watch a huge solar filament erupt on May 12–13. Spanning 600,000 miles, the event will likely miss Earth, but scientists are keeping a close eye on it.
A major solar eruption, also being called as the "bird-wing" event, is set to possibly impact the Earth tomorrow. This comes as a direct warning from astronomers, with a tremendous eruption of
An unusual eruption on the Sun may offer clues to understanding our star''s mysterious explosions. The new research studied an event named the “Rosetta Stone” of solar eruptions. Just
On Earth volcanoes capable of super eruptions — the most recent erupted 76,000 years ago in Sumatra, Indonesia — are dispersed around the globe and exist in the same areas as other
During the first full week of May, a barrage of large solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) launched clouds of charged particles and
The first confirmed sighting of a stellar eruption beyond our Solar System was strong enough to peel away the atmosphere of any planet in its
The sun erupted in spectacular fashion this morning (Nov. 11), unleashing a major X5.1-class solar flare, the strongest of 2025 so far and the
Scientists analyzing a powerful X9 solar flare found unusual changes in the sun''s atmosphere hours before eruption, offering clues to space weather forecasts.
NASA''s fleet of heliophysics spacecraft orbit in various locations around the solar system to study the Sun''s activity, solar explosions, and the
Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy. Flares and solar eruptions can impact radio communications, electric power grids, navigation signals, and
