Scientists Say Solar Flares Are Hotter Than Expected, Could Reach 108 Million Degrees
A groundbreaking study shows ions in solar flares can reach 108 million°F, about six times hotter than earlier estimates. The research explains decades-old mysteries in flare spectra and urges new “multi-temperature” models to better forecast space weather, protecting satellites, astronauts, and communications from hazardous solar storms.

Astronomers Capture Sharpest-Ever Solar Flare Images with NSF’s DKIST Telescope
Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough by capturing the sharpest images of a solar flare ever recorded, using the National Science Foundation’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope (DKIST). Observed at the hydrogen-alpha wavelength during the decay of an X1.3-class solar flare, the images unveiled hundreds of ultra-fine coronal loops averagin...

Mars Dust Storms May Be Predictable Based on Surface Heating Patterns
A new study suggests warm days on Mars often precede dust storms, with researchers analysing data from NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter. The findings show 78% of storms correlate with increased solar heating, particularly in northern regions of the planet. Scientists have developed an algorithm predicting certain storm types with 64% confidence, ...
