Northern lights are projected across the Northern U.S. and Europe tonight as Earth gets hit by a strong solar eruption.

A rare, powerful solar storm is heading toward Earth, meaning the Northern Lights could be visible much farther south than usual across the U.S. and Europe.

Nearly a decade ago, an explosion on the sun "contained components of three different types of solar eruptions". Studying the eruption could unlock mysteries on how they occur. Credit: NASA's Goddard

A trio of major solar flares triggered radio blackouts across Earth and may spark impressive northern lights as possible solar storms head our way.

Scientists studying 50 years of solar data warn Earth may be entering a heightened risk period for rare “superflares” capable of disrupting technology worldwide.

The sun has erupted with a moderate M5.7 solar flare and a coronal mass ejection that could trigger a northern lights display.

A powerful M5.7 solar flare erupted from the sun on May 10, unleashing an impressive coronal mass ejection (CME) that could deliver Earth a glancing blow tonight and potentially spark northern lights displays at high latitudes.

Solar flares are powerful bursts of radiation from the sun's surface, which can wreak havoc on Earth's power grids, damage orbiting satellites, and pose serious radiation risks to astronauts. Yet despite decades of study,

NASA reported a trio of eruptions from the Sun this week, and warned they are causing radio blackouts across the globe.

A solar radio burst clung to the Sun for 19 days, smashing all records. Scientists traced it to a magnetic trap fed by three eruptions.

Indian researchers used a homegrown radio telescope to measure weak magnetic fields in the Sun's corona, advancing understanding of solar eruptions and space weather.
