The solar eruption observed in 1859 arrived before modern electric grids, satellites and global communications made society ...

Scientists have long assumed that there’s an upper limit to the intensity of the solar winds that reach Earth. New research ...

The Sun’s most extreme storms may be far more powerful than scientists currently plan ...

Solar storm forecasting took a tenfold leap with NASA's PUNCH satellite constellation, which predicted a G4-class storm's ...

Scientists say the effects of extreme space weather on life on Earth may be larger than previously thought. The post Study warns solar storm risks may be much worse than thought appeared first on ...

New research led by NASA Goddard found persistent “erroneous measurements” skewing past estimates for how severe geomagnetic storms can get.

An intense barrage of magnetized plasma released by the Sun is currently slamming into Earth’s magnetosphere, producing a powerful geomagnetic storm and possibly generating auroral displays in the ...

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 ...

But the effects of those storms could be even worse than we thought, researchers have warned. For decades, researchers have thought that there was an upper limit in how Earth responds to solar storms ...

Solar storms brought colorful auroras to unexpected places on Tuesday night, and there could be more to come. Space weather forecasters confirmed that storms reached severe levels, triggering vibrant ...

On Mother's Day weekend in May 2024, Earth experienced its most powerful geomagnetic storm in two decades, spawning ...

A proposed StormWall spacecraft fleet could release gas to weaken solar storms, protecting satellites, power grids and technology, but potentially reducing auroras.
