The forecasting of solar flares is a rapidly evolving field that combines observational solar physics with the latest developments in machine learning and statistical modelling. Solar flares are ...

In the span of two days last week, the sun released two strong solar flares — meaning the solar system experienced its most powerful explosions which can cause some communications blackouts on Earth, ...

Considered our solar system's largest explosive events, solar flares can sometimes be as strong as a billion hydrogen bombs. Those with enough energy output to rank as an X-class have the potential to ...
