Sunspot AR3256 erupted with an X1.2-class solar flare. NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured the fireworks in multiple ...

Researchers have made a potentially crucial breakthrough in solar science that could help predict solar flares with greater ...

Scientists have long struggled to accurately predict solar flares, but a recent breakthrough using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has uncovered a promising new sign: flickering coronal loops. These ...

A vast 500,000-mile-wide coronal hole has opened in the Sun's atmosphere. The area measures over 62 times the diameter of ...

Solar material is gusting out of the dark patch in the Sun's corona towards Earth at more than a million miles per hour.

On a wooded knoll on private property in Lake Angelus — less than a mile from the Great Lakes Crossing shopping mall in Auburn Hills — stands a hidden landmark to the history of science ...

Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ...

Solar storms are disturbances on the Sun, which usually emanate outward across the heliosphere, affecting the entire Solar System, including Earth and its magnetosphere. Now, scientists at NASA ...

Two CMEs, from January 21 and January 22, 2025, are captured here, by the Solar Dynamics Observatory (top) just after the eruptions, and the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (bottom) hours later.

A new model improves understanding of how solar wind particles escape and accelerate, offering better predictions of solar storms and their impact on space weather. Credit: NASA/SDO/AIA/Goddard Space ...

What Would Happen If a Massive Solar Storm Hit Earth? Using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, Mason and her colleagues analyzed the flickering of coronal loops—arch-like structures in the Sun ...
