NOAA's GOES-16 satellite captured the sun blast a "huge rush of mass" that warped the magnetic field, according to the ...

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) detailed an inverse relationship between the brightness of the solar corona and the ...

How fast does a coronal mass ejection travel vs. a solar flare? A CME can reach speeds of almost 1,900 miles per second. At that speed one can reach Earth in about 15 to 18 hours.

SDO has roughly two 'eclipse seasons' per year, and is currently in its 31st since the mission launched. It begain on July 10 ...

The coronal mass ejection video was captured over one hour and 15 minutes, Ayoub shared in his Reddit post. He then sped up the video to around five seconds so that viewers could watch the action ...

How fast does a coronal mass ejection travel vs. a solar flare? A CME can reach speeds of almost 1,900 miles per second. At that speed one can reach Earth in about 15 to 18 hours.

But because this powerful flare was not accompanied by a coronal mass ejection, don't expect any unusual aurora activity. The Space Weather Prediction Center tracks the northern lights through an ...

A coronal mass ejection from the Sun may end up ruining one of the most anticipated astronomical events of the year. It's been a tense few months for astronomy fans hoping to see Comet C/2023 A3 ...

Solar plasma eruptions are the sum of many parts, a new look at a 2013 coronal mass ejection shows. These bright, energetic bursts happen when loops of magnetism in the sun’s wispy outer ...

The same coronal mass ejection Solar Orbiter’s SoloHI instrument observed, captured by NASA’s Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory-A — one of two spacecraft launched in 2006. NASA/STEREO/COR2 ...
