Solar flares News
Three satellites burned up in Earth’s atmosphere just two months after their launch
Solar phenomena such as sunspots and solar flares play a significant role in disrupting satellite operations
The increased solar activity is a mounting concern for satellite operators globally
The solar magnetic field is the main driver of space weather, which can cause damage to critical infrastructures like electricity, aviation, and our space-based technology. The main source of severe space weather events are solar active regions, which are regions around sunspots where strong magnetic fields emerge through the solar surface.
The Sun is going through the Solar Cycle 25 which implies that the Sun’s activity will continue to increase till it reaches peak levels during the solar cycle.
Solar flares are powerful bursts of energy from the sun
Solar flares can damage electronic equipments
The smallest solar flares are A-class followed by B, C, M and X
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on Thursday said that the Chandrayaan-2 orbiter detected a series of solar flares using Solar X-ray Monitor (XSM) of Chandrayaan 2 and the US’ Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite (GOES-15) between September 30 to October 1.
Magnetism plays a critical role in various solar phenomena such as flares, mass ejections, flux ropes, and coronal heating.
The two eruptions occurred in an active region of the sun where an eruption of average intensity occurred on September 4.
Fermi is seeing gamma rays from the side of the sun we're facing, but the emission is produced by streams of particles blasted out of solar flares on the far side of the sun.
As per NASA, the Miniature X-Ray Solar Spectrometer, or MinXSS, CubeSat began science operations on June 9, 2016, collecting data on soft X-rays.
The sun is a constantly changing body and IRIS is helping NASA scientists reach into the depths of why and how it does what it does.
NASA scientists think that the violent and powerful storms of young sun is one of the key factor that stimulated life on earth.
The spectacular video was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) on April 17, 2016 when an active region on the sun’s right side released a mid-level solar flare.
Here are some amazing things you must know about our solar system this week.
Sunspot regions are areas of intense magnetism so that plasma is being pulled along magnetic field lines between areas of opposite polarity.
A "current sheet" is a very fast and flat flow of electrically-charged material, defined in part by its extreme thinness compared to its length and width.
Th close-up video was taken from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) from Nov. 3-5, 2015.
The Tihany Magnetic Observatory registered a solar storm similar to the largest one ever recorded in 2003 while other observatories were completely unaware of the event.
NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured an image of a mid-class solar flare on Monday.
