Massive Solar Flare Closes 2024 With Radio Blackouts and Auroral Possibilities
An X1.1-class solar flare on December 29, 2024, caused strong radio blackouts on Earth, marking another significant event in the increasingly active Solar Cycle 25. Detected by NOAA's GOES-16 satellite, the eruption raises questions about a potential coronal mass ejection, which could amplify auroras during New Year celebrations. While impactful, t...

Top 10 Solar Flares of 2024: The Most Powerful Solar Events and Their Impact
The Sun experienced significant solar activity in 2024, with over 50 X-class solar flares recorded. These powerful flares, originating from active regions like AR 13664, were accompanied by coronal mass ejections (CMEs) that caused geomagnetic storms and spectacular auroras across the globe. Among the strongest flares was the X9.0 recorded on Octob...

Largest Solar Flare In 12 Years Observed
The Sun's largest solar flare in more than 12 years - and the eighth largest since modern records began in 1996 - has been captured in high detail by scientists.

NASA Captures Largest Sunspot in Two Decades
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) has spotted an image of a gigantic sunspot - the largest in last 24 years.

Sun unleashes first major solar flare of 2014
The Sun has emitted a massive solar flare, its first major flare of the year that likely erupted from one of the largest sunspot groups seen on the star's surface in a decade, NASA said.
