Earlier, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration had revealed that as many as four sunspots have been detected on the Earth-facing side of the Sun, among which one was likely to erupt a C1-class solar flare and eject it towards…

The Earth has been plagued by solar storm events this year. And while we have seen some really intense storms, including a terrifying G4-class geomagnetic storm last week, none have had the destructive effect of the one that hit the Earth…

Solar activity has been on the rise ever since the turn of 2023, but the month of March in particular witnessed some record-breaking solar storms. In the second week of the month, the Earth suffered the blow of a G3-class geomagnetic storm…

When the upper atmosphere of Earth became ionised by a massive solar explosion, shortwave radio transmissions were severely disrupted throughout most of southeast Asia, Australia, and New Zealand. Sunspot AR3256, located close to the star's…

A terrifying X-class solar flare has erupted on the Sun in the early hours today, March 29. The solar flare eruption occurred on the Earth-facing sunspot AR3256 and has caused strong shortwave radio blackouts in large regions of Australia,…

Last week, the Earth suffered the worst solar storm event in six years after a G4-class geomagnetic storm wreaked havoc for as long as eight hours. The severe storm was so strong that auroras were seen as far south as Colorado and New…

The solar storm onslaught that began at the start of this year, reached a new milestone on Thursday night when a G4-class geomagnetic storm struck the planet. Today, it has left scientists scrambling to find the reasons that caused it.…

For a couple of days, the Earth has been awaiting the solar winds that were released from a massive coronal hole in the atmosphere of the Sun. There were some concerns that a solar storm event so close to the vernal equinox (spring…

On March 21, a report revealed that a terrifyingly large hole had appeared in the Sun's atmosphere that was spewing a powerful solar wind stream. At the time, it was believed that this solar storm could reach the Earth between March 23…
