The northern lights could mean lights out for the infrastructure we rely on.
Air travel’s worst case scenario has arrived in a form few passengers ever imagined: not terrorism or mechanical failure, but a blast of extreme solar radiation that has corrupted digital flight ...
New research uncovers the strongest solar event ever detected — rewriting our understanding of space weather and radiocarbon dating. An international team of scientists has discovered an extreme spike ...
An international team of scientists has discovered an extreme spike in radiocarbon corresponding to the year 12350 BC during the dusk of the last Ice Age. However, the strength of the event could not ...
Researchers in Japan traced a hidden medieval solar storm using ancient tree rings and centuries-old sky observations. The team linked reports of eerie red auroras with spikes of carbon-14 trapped in ...
How can astronomers observe and study the Sun’s activity in the most efficient way despite the Sun and Earth orbiting each other at different speeds? This is what a recent study published in Astronomy ...
Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ionosphere, it may generate electric fields that penetrate fragile fracture ...
When the Sun reaches higher levels of activity, junk drifting in low Earth orbit loses altitude at an increased rate — and for the first time, scientists have measured that increase and identified ...
