What happened 14,300 years ago is barely believable. A paper published this week in Earth and Planetary Science Letters details a study of tree rings in the French Alps that reveals evidence of an ...

If the threats of climate change, a pandemic or nuclear war haven't given you enough to worry about, how about solar weather? Large-scale eruptions on the surface of the sun can create solar-particle ...

During the Artemis II mission launched Wednesday, NASA will test out a pair of new solar radiation forecasts, developed at University of Michigan Engineering, designed to protect astronauts venturing ...

New research has pinpointed the exact date when the strongest ever solar particle storm hit the Earth. This identification of the event, which occurred in 12,350 B.C., rewrites what scientists ...

Solar flares are among the most violent explosions in our solar system, but despite their immense energy — equivalent to a hundred billion atomic bombs detonating at once — physicists still haven’t ...

Solar energetic particle (SEP) events and coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are central features of solar activity that significantly influence space weather. SEPs are high‐energy particles expelled ...

A huge cosmic event some 14,300 years ago was so powerful, it left a discernible mark on our planet. In the partially fossilized trunks of ancient trees, and excavated cores of millennia-old ice, ...
