After a week of intense solar and geomagnetic activity that sent the northern lights spilling far beyond their usual ...

In February 2022, SpaceX launched a group of Starlink satellites into low Earth orbit. Soon after launch, many of them began falling back into the atmosphere rather than following their planned paths.

Starlink's new FCC approval for 7,500 more satellites aims to boost service and capacity for millions. But at what cost?

A new analysis suggests modern satellite networks could suffer catastrophic collisions within days of losing control during a major solar storm. The phrase “House of Cards” is often associated today ...

Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation. A SWPC report added that the storm calmed and reached G4 status again on ...

Earth's magnetic field was struck by a "severe" solar storm Monday (Jan. 19), triggering vibrant auroras in the U.S. and ...

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...

Earth has been struck by its strongest solar radiation storm in over 20 years, triggering rare aurorae far from the poles and raising concerns for satellites, aviation, and power grids.

NASA explained that the flare was classified as an X1.9 flare. X-class flares are the most powerful type of solar flares. The number 1.9 shows how strong the flare was within this highest category.

NASA reported a significant X-class solar flare, specifically an X1.9 event, on January 18, which was captured by its Solar ...

A massive solar storm has created rare Northern Lights in regions where they’re rarely seen, marking the first event of its ...
