The Space Weather Prediction Center publishes a map showing the reach of the solar radiation hurtling past Earth. Some flights have been rerouted to avoid the north pole.

We see some of our hottest temps when Earth is furthest from the Sun (aphelion) and coolest at the closest to the Sun ...

In May 2024, a geomagnetic storm hit Earth, sending auroras across the planet's skies in a once-in-a-generation light display. These dazzling sights are possible because of the interaction of ...

The radiation emitted from solar flares travels at the speed of light and can reach Earth from the sun in just over 8 minutes. As such, we don't have long to respond to such outbursts.

Solar activity can affect electronics here on Earth by sending electromagnetic radiation our way. This radiation can, for example, interrupt a GPS satellite signal which could present navigational ...

Earth’s sun emitted the strongest solar radiation storm in seven years, the National Weather Service’s Space Weather Prediction Center announced. For the first time since September 2017, Earth ...

The Van Allen radiation belts contain charged particles held in place by our Earth's magnetic field.There are two permanent belts, but the appearance of a new temporary radiation belt between the ...

The radiation storm was classified as just below an S2 on Monday when it first hit the Earth but is now a minor S1 class. S2-class solar radiation storms can cause increased radiation risk to ...

“We find that both exhibit strong linearly increasing trends, coupled with a large surge in magnitude between 330 and 220 ...
