Sun Erupts with X2.3 Solar Flare, Causes Radio Blackouts
On November 6, 2024, sunspot AR 3883 unleashed a powerful X2.3 solar flare, causing radio blackouts in parts of South America and Africa. The flare, classified as a strong solar event, disrupted high-frequency radio signals. Scientists are awaiting data from NASA’s SOHO spacecraft to assess the potential impact of a coronal mass ejection (CME) on...

Aditya-L1 Solar Mission Reveals First Significant Findings on Solar Eruptions
The Aditya-L1 mission, India's first solar observation project, has achieved a significant breakthrough with the Visible Emission Line Coronagraph (VELC) reporting its first major findings. Scientists from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics successfully observed the onset of a Coronal Mass Ejection (CME), marking an important milestone in solar r...

NOAA's GOES-19 Satellite Captures First Images of Solar Eruptions
NOAA's new Compact Coronagraph (CCOR-1), mounted on the GOES-19 satellite, has captured its first images of a solar storm. Launched on June 25, 2024, the satellite provides crucial data on coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the sun. Unlike ground-based instruments, CCOR-1 offers uninterrupted views of the solar corona, aiding in early warnings of p...

The Sun Fires Off Another High Intensity X Flare, Triggers Radio Blackouts
On October 7, 2024, sunspot AR 3842 released another powerful X2.1 solar flare, causing significant radio blackouts across North and South America, as well as over the Pacific Ocean. This is the second major flare from AR 3842 after it previously unleashed the most intense solar flare in seven years. Scientists from NOAA are currently analysing dat...

Earth Braces for Impact as Sun Releases Powerful X-Class Solar Flare
On October 3, the sun emitted its most powerful solar flare of the current cycle, an X9.05 eruption. This flare, originating from the sunspot group AR3842, caused shortwave radio blackouts over Europe and Africa. Additionally, a coronal mass ejection (CME) is expected to arrive on Earth between October 3 and October 5, potentially enhancing auroras...

X-Class Solar Flare Erupts on the Sun, Earth-Directed CME Might Have Been Released
A powerful X1.3-class solar flare erupted from the sun on 12 September 2024, potentially boosting aurora visibility across the US this weekend. The flare, which caused a geomagnetic storm rated at G3, also disrupted radio signals in various regions. NOAA’s Space Weather Prediction Center is closely monitoring this solar activity as more flares ar...

NASA Might Have Spotted Highest Number of Sunspots in Over 20 Years
On August 8, 2024, NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) may have documented a record-breaking number of sunspots in a single day, marking a significant event in Solar Cycle 25. These sunspots, which are dark, cooler areas on the Sun’s surface caused by intense magnetic activity, play a crucial role in the Sun's behaviour and have a direct impa...

NASA Explains How Intense Geomagnetic Storms Lead to Stunning Auroras
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued a warning about an intense geomagnetic storm at level G4, which is likely to disrupt power grids, GPS, and radio signals. Despite these potential issues, the storm offers a remarkable visual treat with colourful auroras visible in high-latitude areas of Canada and the United Stat...

Earth Hit By "Intense" Solar Storm, Likely To Trigger More Northern Lights
The new solar storm is caused by coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which are explosions of particles leaving the Sun. When these particles arrive on Earth, they disrupt its magnetic field.

Geomagnetic Storms Expected To Hit Earth This Week, Power Grids At Risk
A series of potent solar events is expected to hit Earth, potentially causing significant geomagnetic storms over the next few days, NASA has said.

Another Powerful Solar Storm Headed Towards Earth, Blackouts Likely
Earth has already experienced interruption in shortwave radio due to the solar storm, but thankfully coronal mass ejection (CME) from the latest eruption will not impact our planet.

Sun Releases 2 Powerful Solar Storms, Earth In Firing Line
The newly emerged sunspot has seen a number of flares erupting on the surface of the Sun. At the time of both eruptions, the sunspot was facing Earth and a coronal mass ejection (CME) could have accompanied at least one of these solar flares.
