U.S. Issues Solar Storm Watch After Large Outburst From the Sun

A large solar flare could lead to disruptions on Earth, including auroras and damage to satellites and power grids.

Northern Lights could put on breathtaking' display over UK this weekend

The Northern Lights are expected to dazzle across the UK due to recent solar flares.
Saturday night offers the best chance for sightings in central England.

It's Back! The Giant Sunspot Cluster That Caused Stunning Auroras Is Facing Earth Again

Earth may experience stormy space weather due to the reappearing massive sunspot cluster AR3697, known for powerful solar flares.

Scientist warns more powerful solar eruptions to hit Earth in 2025

Earth survived a strong solar storm last weekend, but experts warn more severe storms may occur until 2025 as the sun approaches its 'solar maximum'.

The Sun Is Experiencing a 'Potentially Historic' Eruption - With Possible Serious Consequences for Earth

Charged particles from the Sun may cause geomagnetic storm with potential disruptions and auroras on Earth.

Huge sunspot is pointing 'almost directly' at Earth

'Extreme' geomagnetic storm may bless us with more aurora displays tonight and tomorrow

The strongest geomagnetic storm in 20 years created visible northern lights in Southern US.
Another chance to view the aurora may be available tonight with clear skies.
The geomagnetic storm caused by solar flares can disrupt technology but poses no direct harm to people on Earth.

"Severe" solar storm could bring Northern Lights to U.S. this weekend

The Sun is emitting strong solar flares, potentially causing communication disruptions but also offering a chance to see the Northern Lights in the U.S.

Shields up: New ideas might make active shielding viable

Solar events like flares are easier to shield against, while galactic cosmic rays are more penetrating and challenging to shield.
Active shields that deflect charged particles are a potential solution for protecting astronauts from deep space radiation.

'Sunspot archipelago' 15 times wider than Earth is spotted on the sun

Sunspots on the sun's surface can appear like an 'archipelago' or a collection of islands.
Sunspots can release charged particles that can impact Earth's magnetic field and pose a danger to power grids and satellites.
