Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

The flares are coming from a solar region that was created in late January.

Researchers used the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope in Hawaii to take the clearest pictures ever of a powerful solar flare that occurred on Aug. 8, 2024. - NSF / NSO / AURA Astronomers have zoomed ...

NASA explained that the flares and solar eruptions can impact radio communications, electric power grids, and navigation signals.

Astronomers using the Inouye Solar Telescope have captured the sharpest-ever images of a solar flare, revealing coronal loops as thin as 21 km wide. These threadlike plasma structures, imaged during ...

In a study published this past Monday, August 25, 2025, in the Astrophysical Journal Letters, a team of solar scientists revealed that the Inouye Solar Telescope has captured the clearest-ever images ...

In a dramatic escalation of solar activity, the sun has unleashed an X8.3 flare — 2026’s strongest yet — causing radio blackouts as scientists monitor Earth-directed CMEs ...

The Sun unleashed a powerful X8.3 solar flare on Feb 1, 2026, triggering R3 radio blackouts. Explore the impacts of the year's strongest eruption.

On February 17, 2026, an annular solar eclipse occurred, offering a spectacular view of the “ring of fire” in the sky. The European Space Agency (ESA) captured this rare cosmic event from space ...
