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 New Solar Telescope Captures Dramatic Footage of the Sun Spraying Huge Charged Particles
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has unveiled remarkable footage from the new Compact Coronagraph (CCOR-1), which is aboard the GOES-19 satellite. This advanced telescope captures charged particles and solar eruptions from the Sun’s corona, vital for monitoring solar activity as it approaches its peak in 2025. By blockin...

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...

A Geomagnetic Storm Has Hit Earth. Here's What It Is And What Causes Them
A geomagnetic storm lit up the night sky in parts of the US during the first weekend in October. South Africas National Space Agency (Sansa) told reporters that the storm had originated from a solar flare "that erupted from sunspot 3842 on October 3

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 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...

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.

"Dancing Loops": NASA Captures Eruptions On Sun, Emission Of Powerful Pair Of Solar Flares
NASA delighted its Instagram followers with two GIFs that captured the moment the Sun unleashed two powerful solar flares. These two energetic flashes erupted on May 7 and May 8 from sunspots identified as AR3663 and AR3664.
-
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.
