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.

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.

Earth poised for radio blackouts after sun releases powerful flares

Solar storms can lead to disruptions like radio blackouts, with X and M flares being strong enough to impact Earth.

A Massive Solar Flare Just Knocked Out Radio Communications Back on Earth

The Sun is entering the most active part of its 11-year cycle, resulting in powerful solar flares and other solar phenomena.
The biggest solar flare recorded since at least 2017 occurred recently, causing a two-hour blackout in radio communication on Earth.

The Sun erupts with its most powerful solar flare in 7 YEARS

Solar flares are powerful bursts of high-energy radiation from the sun that can impact Earth's technology and infrastructure.
The X6.3 solar flare, the largest in years, can trigger radio blackouts and long-lasting radiation storms on Earth.

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.

"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.

'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.

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.
