A Week of Rapid-Fire Solar Flares It was this solar storm that created the widely seen auroras, and many amateur astronomers and even regular people without any particular astronomical knowledge were able to capture beautiful images because of developing camera technology. ...
A "severe" solar storm has made the northern lights visible in the U.S. farther south than usual while also posing the potential to disrupt modern technology.
An unusually strong solar storm hitting Earth produced stunning displays of color in the skies across the Northern Hemisphere, with no immediate reports of disruptions to power and communications.
A severe solar storm this weekend is threatening to trigger blackouts and disrupt navigation systems around the world, but it also promises a dazzling display of the northern lights that could be seen across Europe and as far south as Alabama in the U.S. This is the first time since J...
