Solar flares are giant explosions that occur in a localized regions of the sun's atmosphere, typically originating from ...

Perhaps it’s time to take a look. The solar cycle refers to the 11-year period of solar activity from a maximum of observed sunspots through a minimum to a new maximum. The sunspots are the ...

In this instance, with such an intense amount of ultraviolet (UV) radiation that accompanied the flare, a shortwave radio ...

Sunspots are dark spots on the skin that appear after you experience too much ultraviolet (UV) light exposure. Also called age spots, liver spots, or solar lentigines, sunspots are a type of ...

A November 6 solar flare hit X2.3-class in strength, causing Atlantic radio blackouts, with more potentially on the way if further solar flares are released.

In truth, we know what it is: those newly sprouted sunspots, hyperpigmentation, and melasma signs are often triggered by hot weather and sun exposure (yes, even with a hat and sunscreen).

It is indicated by the intensity and frequency of sunspots visible on the surface. On Oct. 15, 2024, representatives from NASA and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA ...

Stargazers should prepare themselves for an uptick in aurora borealis -- or northern lights -- activity as the current solar cycle nears its peak.
