See the latest solar X-ray data, live imagery and events on the Sun from the GOES satellite. Zoom in on the plot, export the graph and check the probability of C-, M- and X-class flares.
A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere. Flares occur in active regions and are often, but not always, accompanied by coronal mass ejections, solar particle events, and other eruptive solar phenomena. The occurrence of solar flares varies with the 11-year solar cycle.
Learn how solar flares, large eruptions of electromagnetic radiation from the Sun, can cause radio blackouts by ionizing the lower layers of the ionosphere. Find out the classification, intensity, and impact of solar flares and radio blackouts on HF radio communication.
Jul 6, 2022 · Solar flares are large explosions from the surface of the sun that emit intense bursts of electromagnetic radiation. The intensity of the explosion determines what classification the...
Aug 9, 2011 · Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as coronal mass ejections (CMEs).
Aug 21, 2024 · Learn about the dark spots and bright explosions on the Sun's surface, and how they affect Earth. Find out how magnetic fields, solar activity, and coronal mass ejections work.
