Strongest Solar Flare of 2025 Sends High-Energy Radiation Rushing Toward Earth
A powerful X5.1 solar flare on November 11, 2025, sent high-speed protons toward Earth, producing the strongest radiation spike detected in nearly two decades. The event caused a rare ground-level enhancement, briefly raising radiation at flight altitude to ten times normal. While not dangerous this time, scientists warn larger flares could threate...

May 2024 Solar Storm Triggers Unusual Radiation Belts, Raising Space Safety Concerns
A significant solar storm in May 2024 led to the creation of two temporary radiation belts, detected by the CIRBE satellite in June. One belt contained high-energy electrons, while the other was rich in protons, a rare occurrence. While the electron belt dissipated in three months, the proton-dominated belt remains, potentially affecting space miss...
