SPHEREx Captures Dramatic Outburst of Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS
NASA’s SPHEREx telescope captured a dramatic outburst from interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS after its close solar flyby in October 2025. Infrared observations in December revealed water vapor, carbon dioxide, methanol, methane, and cyanide erupting from the comet’s nucleus. Scientists say the chemical makeup suggests formation in a relatively warm e...

Scientists Track Rapidly Growing Sunspot Behind Intense Solar Storms Toward Earth
A rapidly expanding sunspot has transformed the Sun into a solar flare powerhouse, producing more than 20 mid-level flares and several extreme eruptions in just one day. As the region now faces Earth, scientists are tracking potential radio blackouts, satellite interference, and dazzling auroras caused by incoming solar storms.

Powerful X-Class Solar Flare Sends CME Toward Earth, Storms Possible
A powerful X1.9 solar flare erupted on January 18, launching a fast coronal mass ejection toward Earth. Space weather agencies warn of strong geomagnetic storms that could disrupt satellites, GPS and radio communications, while also producing vivid auroras visible well beyond the polar regions.

ISRO's Aditya-L1 Study Reveals How October 2024 Solar Storm Affected Earth's Magnetic Field
ISRO scientists and research students studied the solar storm using observations from India's Aditya-L1 mission.

NOAA Issues G2 Solar Storm Watch; May Spark Auroras but Threaten Satellite Signals
Space weather scientists are monitoring a coronal mass ejection expected to reach Earth around January 2–3, 2026. NOAA forecasts a G2-level geomagnetic storm, which is considered moderate but can still affect satellites, power grids and radio communications. While the event may bring vivid auroras to high latitudes, it also highlights the Sun’s...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe Reveals Sun's Powerful Eruptions And Mysterious Energy Return
Nour Rawafi, a project scientist at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, explained that there had been previous indications that solar material could return in this way, but seeing it so clearly was truly remarkable.

NASA’s PUNCH Watches Comet Lemmon Respond to the Sun’s Powerful Influence
NASA’s PUNCH mission has captured striking views of Comet Lemmon as it passed close to the Sun in late 2025. The observations show how solar wind and eruptions reshape a comet’s tail, sometimes causing it to break and regrow. The images provide valuable insight into how solar activity affects objects across the inner solar system.

Massive Sunspot Complex on the Sun Raises Risk of Strong Solar Storms
A massive sunspot complex has appeared on the Sun, covering an area comparable to the legendary Carrington Event region. Known as AR 4294-96, the active cluster features highly tangled magnetic fields that could unleash powerful solar flares and geomagnetic storms, potentially disrupting satellites, power grids, and global communications if Earth-d...
