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.
May 6, 2024 · Solar flares and CMEs are the most powerful explosions in our solar system. This animation shows how coronal mass ejections can blow out from the Sun, interfere with Earth’s magnetic fields (the curved purple lines), and cause auroras (the blue rings of light circling the North and South poles).
3 days ago · NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured these images of the solar flares, as seen in the bright flashes in the left image (a May 8 flare) and the right image (a May 7 flare).
Jun 10, 2022 · A solar flare is an intense burst of radiation, or light, on the Sun. Flares are our solar system’s most powerful explosive events – the most powerful flares have the energy equivalent of a billion hydrogen bombs, enough energy to power the whole world for 20,000 years. Light only takes about 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to Earth, so ...
4 days ago · NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured these images of the solar flares — as seen in the bright flashes in the left image (May 8 flare) and the right image (May 7 flare). The image shows 131 angstrom light, a subset of extreme ultraviolet light that highlights the extremely hot material in flares and which is colorized in orange.
