Since May, the Sun's activities have been increasing, with 10 X-class flares and over 60 M-class flares occurring in just one week. What are solar flares? Why have solar flares become so frequent this year? What impact do they have on our lives? A solar flare is an intense burst of...
This most recent flare caused an R3 blackout over the Atlantic Ocean, which is the same strength as the flare-induced blackout over Australia and Asia during Easter weekend last month. Solar activity, which astronomers have known since 1775 rises and falls according to a roughly 11-...
Late last week, the strongest solar activity in decades sparked a dazzling display of the Northern Lights that was enjoyed by people worldwide. The display reached as far south as Florida and Texas in the southernU.S., and even parts of northernMexicocaught a glimpse. The sky was filled wi...
At this moment people first noticed that the Sun was explosive to release intense electromagnetic waves. Carrington noted that “one swallow does not make a summer,” even though he noticed that the worldwide auroral activity followed a day after the flare. In fact, the solar flares cannot ...
According to NOAA, the first significant solar flare peaked at 6:07 p.m. ET Wednesday, while another peaked at 1:32 a.m. ET on Thursday and a third, classified as an X6.3 flare, occurred during the evening. Solar activity is expected to peak in 2024 as what is known as Solar Cycle...
This morning sunspot 1158 unleashed the strongest Solar Flare in over 4 years. The sun had been amazingly quiet over the past several years. The current solar cycle bottomed out and it looks like this un is about to start becoming active again. This mornings flare was pretty amazing. Scientis...
The flares seem to be associated with a sunspot that’s 16 times the diameter of Earth, NOAA said. It is all part of the solar activity ramping up as the sun approaches the peak of its 11-year cycle. NASA said the storm posed no serious threat to the seven astronauts aboard the Inter...
towards their peak in mid-August. However, due to some fairly intense solar activity over the past few days, we also have a chance to see bright displays of the Northern Lights. This was expected to begin on the night of Monday, July 29, and persi...
Strong Solar Activity Space Weather News for May 6, 2024 ANOTHER DAY, ANOTHER X-FLARE: Solar activity has gone into overdrive. Since May 3rd, Earth-orbiting satellites have detected four X-class solar flares and an even greater number of almost X-class events. The responsible sunspot, AR36...
