The sun's recent powerful flares indicate a peak in its activity cycle and potential auroras for Earth.

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.

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.

Solar eclipses provide a unique opportunity for scientists to study the sun's corona and understand its superheated atmosphere.
