Sun Erupts with Triple Solar Flares After Weeks of Silence
After a 22-day period of solar calm, the Sun unleashed three M-class solar flares on August 3–4, 2025, all originating from active sunspot region AR 4168. These moderate flares released intense radiation, capable of briefly disrupting high-frequency radio signals and potentially sparking auroras at high latitudes. Scientists also detected likel...

Indian Scientists Unravel the Mystery Behind Rare Aurora Over Ladakh
A team of Indian astronomers has successfully explained the rare aurora seen over Ladakh, caused by intense solar activity and CME collisions. The event, captured in May 2024, was traced using global data and advanced solar models, offering new insights into space weather forecasting and solar storm impacts on Earth.

Colossal Solar Filament Eruption Sculpts 250,000-Mile 'Canyon of Fire' on the Sun’s Surface
A massive July 15 filament eruption from the sun’s limb carved a 250,000‑mile‑long plasma canyon captured by NASA’s SDO. The spectacular rift, formed as magnetic fields realigned, featured 12,400‑mile‑high plasma walls. Although the eruption launched a coronal mass ejection into space, SOHO and GOES‑19 imagery confirm it’s heading a...

NASA’s Parker Probe Sends Closest-Ever Images from Inside the Sun’s Corona
NASA’s Parker Solar Probe has achieved a solar milestone by capturing the closest-ever images of the Sun, taken just 3.8 million miles from its surface in December 2024. These WISPR images reveal unprecedented details of the corona, solar wind, and CME collisions. Scientists say this breakthrough will improve our ability to forecast space weather...

Massive X-Class Solar Flare Erupts, Causing Widespread Pacific Radio Blackouts
A powerful X1.9-class solar flare from sunspot 4114 erupted on June 19, disrupting shortwave radio signals across the Pacific, including Hawaii. While it caused significant atmospheric ionisation, no coronal mass ejection (CME) followed. The event highlights rising solar activity and hints at more eruptions ahead, potentially impacting communicatio...

Sharpest Solar Images Ever: Pink 'Raindrops' On The Sun Captured In Unprecedented Detail
The corona, the Sun's outermost layer, stretches millions of kilometres into space and is mysteriously hotter than the underlying photosphere, a phenomenon known as the 'coronal heating problem.'

Scientists Warn of Inadequate Solar Storm Forecasting: What You Need to Know
Scientists warn that Earth remains exposed to solar storms due to missing early data on its magnetic fields. Current satellites offer just minutes of warning, limiting our ability to protect power grids, satellites, and GPS systems. Without broader solar observation from multiple angles, a major storm could cause catastrophic disruptions, emphasisi...

Sun Unleash a 600,000-Mile Filament in Fiery Eruption
A spectacular 600,000-mile-long solar filament erupted off the sun’s surface in a fiery blast captured on video. While the resulting CME will miss Earth, experts are watching closely as solar activity ramps up toward Solar Cycle 25’s peak. The event underscores the sun’s ongoing volatility and potential for more powerful outbursts ahead.

Solar Storm Possibility Rises After NOAA Predicts Double CME Strike on Earth
Two massive solar blasts are expected to hit Earth, creating geomagnetic storms that could result in rare aurora sightings in regions far from the poles. Scientists say this is part of an increasingly active solar cycle.

Massive X1.1-class Solar Flare Causes Radio Blackouts Across America
A strong X1.1-class solar flare erupted from sunspot AR4046 on March 28, 2025. The flare caused major radio blackouts in North and South America, affecting high-frequency communications. A coronal mass ejection (CME) followed the flare but is not expected to hit Earth. More solar activity is anticipated from sunspot AR4046 and AR4048, with a 15% ch...

Solar Storm Forecast to Trigger Northern Lights in Upper Midwest
A solar storm from a coronal mass ejection (CME) is set to strike Earth, bringing a minor geomagnetic storm to northern and upper Midwest states between January 24-25. Experts predict visible auroras across areas like Michigan and Maine, sparking excitement among aurora chasers. The storm, rated G1, could peak at Kp 5.33, with auroras expected to b...

Solar Storm Sparks Northern Lights Across Western Hemisphere on New Year's Eve
Solar storms on New Year’s Eve sparked breathtaking auroras across the US and Europe, with vibrant displays visible as far south as California, Austria, and Germany. Two coronal mass ejections (CMEs) struck Earth’s magnetic field, causing geomagnetic storms that reached G3 levels on January 1.
