Two months after the dreaded solar storm struck Earth and shocked scientists, a solution seems at hand. Folks at Aberystwyth University have done some rocket science and say they can do solar storm prediction even before it has left the Sun. Can solar storm prediction become so accurate that researchers know the exact time …
In an amazing feat, a solar flare was snapped by NASA SDO at the moment it peaked, or reached its most frightening level. This solar flare was immensely powerful and was rated at X5.8 strength, but then there was another that reached X8.7! (This is the X5.8 solar flare image snapped by NASA SDO) …
Updated Jul 15, 2024, 08:07 IST Sun has recently spewed a powerful X-class solar flare. Will it cause a geomagnetic storm on Earth? Know what experts say. Sunspot AR3738 Erupts, Causes Shortwave Radio Blackouts and Promises More Solar Activity After a week of peace, the Sun is again spewing the terror of solar flares. On …
With the Sun heading toward the Solar Maximum, the threat of a god of destruction type solar storm has increased manifold for Earth. A solar storm that can be aptly described as a god of destruction, can spark carnage, leaving every kind of technology affected. (NASA) With the Sun heading toward the Solar Maximum, …
Updated Jul 3, 2024, 18:44 IST NOAA experts have warned that a G1-class geomagnetic storm today to Earth. Will it create auroras? Know all the details. Dazzling auroras, disrupted power grids and next solar storm expected – What you need to know Solar storms have always been the matter of concern for the Earthlings due …
Topline A strong geomagnetic storm may cause the Northern Lights to be visible in the continental U.S. again Friday in states like New York, Wisconsin and Washington, causing the aurora to be “quite bright and active” to observers. An aurora borealis light display is pictured in the southern part of Norway late night of February …
Within ten days of the soft landing on the moon, the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO), in India’s first solar mission, blasted off the Aditya L1 spacecraft atop the Polar Satellite Launch Vehicle on September 2, 2023, from Sriharikota. India’s first solar mission, Aditya L1, took 125 days to reach its orbit around Lagrange’s point …
A recent extreme solar storm has provided valuable insights into radiation exposure on Mars, crucial for future astronaut missions. High-energy particles caused visual disturbances on Mars’ rovers and orbiters, while NASA’s MAVEN captured the resulting auroras.

Updated Jun 10, 2024, 18:54 IST Earth is expected to hit by a strong geomagnetic storm today, NOAA experts warned. Will it cause auroras? Know details. Solar Storm Alert: Earth Braces for Moderate Geomagnetic Disturbance It is confirmed that the Sun is nearing its Solar Maximum, the regular period of greatest solar activity during the …
Prepare for Another Round of Solar Storms This Week The Sun continues to show significant activity that impacts Earth. Space weather experts suggest that Sunspot AR3664 also referred to as AR3697, has undergone significant decay, reducing it to a fraction of its previous size. Despite this reduction, it remains a notable point of interest. Sunspots …
