When sunspots erupt at nearly the same time, it could be something known as "sympathetic solar flares." A double eruption ...

More than a month after a flooded data center at Stanford University knocked out data processing operations for two NASA sun-studying spacecraft, solar scientists are starting to regain access to ...

These results could benefit space weather forecasts.

A solar eclipse on April 27, 2025, as seen only by NASA Solar Dynamics Observatory. When is the next solar eclipse? Yesterday and today — but they were not reported in advance. Why? They were only in ...

An artificial intelligence model trained on NASA satellite imagery can forecast what the sun will look like hours into the future – even predicting the appearance of solar flares that may warn of ...

The sun is increasing its intensity on schedule, continuing its approach to solar maximum. In just over a 24-hour period on May 5 and May 6, 2024, the sun released three X-class solar flares measuring ...

For decades, scientists have tried in vain to accurately predict solar flares — intense bursts of light on the Sun that can send a flurry of charged particles into the solar system. Now, using NASA’s ...

Images from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory highlight the appearance of the Sun at solar minimum (left, Dec. 2019) versus solar maximum (right, May 2024). These images are in the 171 wavelength of ...

In the center, a gold, rotating Sun. Gold and black swirls across the surface of the Sun. Around the edges, streams of golden solar particles escape the star, into space. A composite video from NASA’s ...
