  Chandrayaan-2 Makes First Ever Obseravtion Of Sun's Impact On Moon: ISRO

  The Chandrayaan-2 mission, launched in 2019, has made the first-ever observation of the effects of the Sun's Coronal Mass Ejection (CME) on the Moon using its onboard scientific instruments, ISRO said on Saturday.

  Solar Storm From Four Sun Eruptions Could Cause Minor Geomagnetic Activity

  A burst of solar activity could soon paint Earth’s skies with auroras. Between October 11 and 13, the Sun fired four coronal mass ejections toward Earth, expected to arrive October 15–17. NOAA predicts mild G1 geomagnetic storms that could trigger colorful northern lights visible across high and even mid-latitude regions.

  Cannibal Solar Storm May Trigger Auroras as Powerful Geomagnetic Storm to Hit Earth Soon

  Between Sept. 1–2, Earth will be struck by a powerful geomagnetic storm caused by a rare “cannibal” solar eruption. The event formed when a fast coronal mass ejection (CME) overtook and consumed an earlier one, creating a stronger, chaotic cloud. As this storm interacts with Earth’s magnetic field, it may produce vivid auroras visible far b...

  Researcher Photographs Giant Solar Tornado and Massive Plasma Eruption at the Same Time

  On August 20, researcher Maximilian Teodorescu captured a rare photo of two dramatic solar events — a giant tornado of plasma rising 130,000 km and an eruptive prominence spanning 200,000 km. Both were shaped by the sun’s unstable magnetic fields. While the prominence did release a CME, it is not aimed at Earth.

  Rare Giant Solar Tornado and Plasma Eruption Captured Together on the Sun

  A Romanian researcher captured a rare sight on the Sun — a giant solar tornado alongside a massive plasma eruption. Both events, driven by magnetic field changes, highlight the Sun’s extreme activity during solar maximum. Luckily, the eruption’s CME is not headed toward Earth.

  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.
