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.

NSF’s DKIST Captures Sharpest-Ever Images of Fine Solar Magnetic Striations
Using the NSF’s Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope, scientists have captured the most detailed views of the Sun’s surface ever recorded. The new observations reveal ultra-narrow magnetic striations only 20 kilometers wide, etched into solar granules. These light and dark bands reflect subtle variations in magnetic field strength. Researchers say ...

AI Enhances Northern Lights Classification and Geomagnetic Storm Forecasting
A breakthrough in auroral research, powered by artificial intelligence, has allowed scientists to classify over 700 million auroral images. This effort, using NASA's THEMIS dataset, will significantly enhance the prediction of geomagnetic storms, which can disrupt Earth's communication and security systems. Led by the University of New Hampshire, t...

Study Explores Sun’s Magnetic Field Changes and Solar Wind Acceleration
A study published in The Astrophysical Journal has shed light on how the Sun’s magnetic field influences solar wind acceleration. Using data from the Parker Solar Probe and Solar Orbiter, researchers observed that sharp magnetic switchbacks smooth out into gentler waves as they travel further from the Sun. This relaxation process transfers magnet...
