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 ...
Solar flares are the most explosive energy-release events in the solar corona, leading to intense particle acceleration, ...
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 ...
Solar storms batter Earth every year, creating the occasional aurora and sometimes even paralyzing power grids. But these common phenomena pale in comparison to a monstrous event that inundated the ...
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, ...

For scientists studying the impacts of space weather, one of the central mysteries of solar flares. Solar flares are the colossal release of magnetic energy in the Sun’s atmosphere that erupts with ...
Some 14,300 years ago, a long-dead tree standing in what is now the French Alps recorded a message from the Sun. This information was etched in its very atoms. That day, high-energy particles ...
