A new NOAA satellite is now giving Earth up to an hour of advance warning before a solar storm arrives, strengthening the ...

Multiple CMEs are heading toward Earth, with G1-G2 geomagnetic storm conditions possible as the holiday weekend begins.

The effects of extreme space weather may be larger than previously thought, research in the journal Nature reveals. The paper ...

A team at the Applied Physics Lab is working to understand the complex science behind predicting invisible threats that can ...

A gigantic solar eruption in November 2021 defied expectations. Two spacecraft—Solar Orbiter at 0.85 AU and Wind at 0.98 AU—watched the same coronal mass ejection (CME) as it zoomed through the solar ...

A solar storm is a sudden explosion of particles, energy, magnetic fields and material blasted into the solar system by the sun When directed towards earth they can create a disturbance in our ...

A new study has revealed an unexpected link between solar storms and the flux of high-energy cosmic rays arriving at Earth. The findings, made using one of the world's largest cosmic ray detectors, ...

A planetary defense system would blunt solar storms with hundreds of tons of gas. Emerging heavy-lift rockets could deploy it in under two months. Extreme space weather could wreak havoc on the ...

The regular solar cycle is a mere climate murmur, but sudden geomagnetic jolts are a different story. These high-altitude outbursts appear to be hijacking the polar vortex to rewrite weather on the ...

Solar storms have long been treated as a hazard to satellites, power grids, and GPS systems. A peer-reviewed study published in Geophysical Research Letters this spring adds a category that no ...

Based on previous measurement data, it was thought that there was an upper limit to consequences of a solar storm. Such a ...

Solar flare SDO archive images previously lost to detector saturation can now be recovered using a newly validated technique, ...
