Space scientist Patricia Reiff tells Live Science how solar flares and radiation will impact the Artemis II mission.

Nasa’s Artemis II mission to the Moon could end up being scuppered by the Sun, after a powerful solar flare triggered radio blackouts this week.

With NASA preparing for the Artemis II launch (expected tomorrow, 1 April), a strong solar flare earlier this week is putting space weather back into focus—and highlighting the unpredictable risks astronauts could face beyond Earth's atmosphere.

A massive solar flare produced a coronal mass ejection (CME) heading toward Earth, raising concerns for the Artemis II moon mission.

A powerful burst of solar activity briefly caught attention this week, arriving just days before one of the most closely watched space missions in rec.

NASA outlines how Artemis II astronauts are monitored for solar particle events during their lunar mission, including spacecraft shielding, real-time tracking, and onboard radiation detection systems.
