The NSF inouye solar telescope observes its first x-class solar flare and reveals the smallest coronal loops ever imaged MAUI, HI - AUGUST 25, 2025 — The highest-resolution images of a solar flare ...

Astronomers using the Inouye Solar Telescope have captured the sharpest-ever images of a solar flare, revealing coronal loops as thin as 21 km wide. These threadlike plasma structures, imaged during ...

The sun has a bone to pick with Earth — and it’s not done yet. A colossal solar storm just zapped the daylight side of the planet, causing global blackouts and knocking out radio signals across Europe ...

Flickering coronal loops in the Sun's outer atmosphere could act as an early warning system for solar flares, according to new research. Reading time 2 minutes Intense solar flares—sudden bursts of ...

Flickering, invisible “loops” in the sun’s atmosphere appear to warn of larger solar flares to come, a new analysis finds. The discovery could help scientists better predict space weather, researchers ...

A high-powered solar flare erupted from the sun last week, causing a major radio blackout in Europe and Asia. The eruption happened at 3:25 a.m., meaning that the sun wasn't in the Texas sky at the ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft has discovered that a solar flare is triggered by initially weak ...

The highest-resolution images of a solar flare captured at the H-alpha wavelength (656.28 nm) ever captured may reshape how we understand the sun's magnetic architecture—and improve space weather ...
