NASA | Fiery Looping Rain on the Sun
Eruptive events on the sun can be wildly different. Some come just with a solar flare, some with an additional ejection of solar material called a coronal mass ejection (CME), and some with complex moving structures in association with changes in magnetic field lines that loop up into the sun's atmosphere, the corona. On July 19, 2012, an ...

NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory released breathtaking close-up footage of solar flares, revealing the Sun as a complex network of blazing plasma loops and turbulent magnetic fields. The new video captures dark filaments cutting across bright, twisting arcs as massive bursts of energy erupt and constantly reshape in real time. To appreciate the scale: the Sun spans about 1.39 million kilometres in diameter, roughly 109 times the size of Earth. What may appear as tiny sparks in the footage are a

Solar Activity Report: September 22-28, 2025 Solar activity fluctuated between low and moderate levels throughout the week. The week began quietly, marked by low C-class flares. Activity then intensified, reaching moderate levels with several high C-class and M-class flares. By midweek, conditions briefly returned to low levels before rising again the following day and remaining moderate through the weekend.

Solar Activity Report: November 17-23, 2025 Solar activity remained at low levels throughout the reporting period, predominantly within the B-class flare range. Four high-intensity C-class flares and several weaker C-class events were observed, with the largest—a C9.9—occurring on November 19 from a region just beyond the northeast limb. No Earth-directed CMEs were detected during this interval. The latest helioseismic far-side map indicates the presence of two active regions, both with a high p

Have you heard? We are now officially in the solar maximum phase! That means we’re in the part of the 11-year solar cycle where solar eruptions, geomagnetic storms, and auroras are most likely to occur. But how do scientists tell where we are in the solar cycle? They count sunspots! Those dark solar splotches tell a story: As solar activity waxes and wanes, so does the sunspot count. But don’t just take our word for it – try it yourself!

🌞 👀 Sun activity for November 14, 2023 See a solar jet blasting sun-stuff into space 🤩 🌎 Over the past day, we saw beautiful active filaments all over the Earth-facing sun. 😱 And early this morning, we saw the solar jet extending from the sun’s outer atmosphere. This jet isn’t made of ordinary matter. It’s a collimated, beam-like ejection of what’s called plasma, a fourth state of matter consisting of elementary particles and magnetic fields from our blazingly hot star. 😎 🥳 It’s this sola

Solar Activity Report: December 22-28, 2025 Solar activity was low at the start of the week, with X‑ray flux generally confined to the low C‑class range aside from a few higher C‑class events. Activity increased markedly on December 27, highlighted by an M5.1 flare from active region 14325 at the east limb and a C9.9 flare from active region 14318 near the disk center. M‑class activity continued into December 28, when active region 14325 produced an impulsive M1.3 flare and active region 14317 g

🌞 📰 Solar superstorm is ongoing. More auroras tonight? 😱 WOW! Last night, there was an auroral explosion across the globe. The anticipated geomagnetic storm reached levels much higher than expected. But if you missed it, there’s a good chance for more tonight. 🤩 Overnight, the level of geomagnetic activity climbed to a G5 (extreme) storm. A series of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) arrived a bit earlier than anticipated, reaching us late yesterday, May 10. It appears that one or more CMEs over

Forecasters were predicting 2025 for the peak of the current 11-year sun cycle, Cycle 25. But the current cycle has already outpaced predictions, both in sunspot number and in the number of larger M and X flares. 🤔 So the past day has been C flares only. But remember the 3 M flares of the day before? And
