By tracing solar flare gamma rays, scientists gain new insight into particle behavior that shapes space weather forecasts.

Terrestrial Research (NJIT-CSTR) have uncovered the elusive source of intense gamma rays unleashed during solar flares. These ...

The sun has emitted a powerful solar flare that has the capability to interfere with technology on Earth. The explosive burst of radiation peaked on the evening of June 17, matching the intensity of ...

The sun is not a static, tranquil sphere of gas, but an active, turbulent star with magnetic fields that twist and snap in powerful eruptions. Among the most striking and energetic of these eruptions ...

In the span of two days last week, the sun released two strong solar flares — meaning the solar system experienced its most powerful explosions which can cause some communications blackouts on Earth, ...

Pocket AVIA/RAD-ALERT warns of solar flare neutrons and radiation and Terrestrial Gamma Bursts, both of which may pose hazard to passengers, crews, and avionics This pocket unit provides real-time ...

The Sun’s most violent flares are turning out to be even more extreme than I, or many solar physicists, had imagined. By ...

Considered our solar system's largest explosive events, solar flares can sometimes be as strong as a billion hydrogen bombs. Those with enough energy output to rank as an X-class have the potential to ...
