The awe-inspiring moment that a powerful solar flare erupted from the sun earlier this week has been captured by NASA. The space agency’s Solar Dynamics Observatory spotted the super hot stre… ...

The latest solar flare follows an M-class one, the second-highest on the scale, that occurred days earlier on June 15. It caused a shortwave radio blackout across North America, with a loss of signal ...

The video, taken by NASA's Solar Dynamics Orbiter, shows mesmerizing close-up views of solar flares blasting off the sun between Monday and Thursday (Oct. 25-28), ending with a major X1-class ...

X-class flares also have the potential to create global transmission problems and world-wide blackouts, NASA says. New Year's Eve solar flare is strongest in 6 years.

Video footage from NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory shows that, around 11:30 p.m. Eastern Time on Monday evening, four solar flares erupted at once across the visible surface of the sun.

The solar flare peaked at about noon on Thursday, according to NASA. The solar flare was classified as an X2.8 flare — a class denoting the most intense flares.

Earlier this week, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) recorded a rarely seen event—four nearly-simultaneous flare eruptions involving three separate sunspots, as well as the magnetic ...

Solar flares decrease as the sun nears solar minimum. So, throughout the 11-year solar cycle, flares may occur several times a day or only a few times per month, according to NASA.
