A coronal mass ejection from the Sun may end up ruining one of the most anticipated astronomical events of the year. It's ...

The Sun is approaching its solar maximum, the apex of its 11-year solar cycle. With that we can expect more tempestuous and ...

A huge coronal mass ejection is set to batter earth with plasma particles, triggering widespread Northern Lights displays and ...

But there’s still one place within this warm and familiar neighborhood that remains mysterious and relatively unvisited: the Sun. That seems strange, since our star is the source of all energy ...

And so the news was recently sprinkled with stories of the discovery of electron bursts beyond the edge of our solar system, caused by shock waves from coronal mass ejection (CME) from our Sun ...

Two strong solar flares in the space of 48 hours will bring stunning auroras to northern states and the Midwest over the next few days.

However, when the Sun ejects a massive wave of particles in an event called a 'coronal mass ejection' this causes Northern Lights to flare up so intensely that they can be seen at lower latitudes.

This still is from a sequence of images is from a computer animation illustrating an artist's concept of Coronal Mass Ejection (CME ... of tons ejected from the sun and hurled into space with ...

ESA and NASA's Solar and Heliospheric Observatory observed a coronal mass ejection erupting from the Sun on Oct. 14, 2014. Scientists went on to track this coronal mass ejection through the solar ...

An 11-year period of sun activity, this solar cycle is more active than previously expected. NASA, NOAA and SpaceWeather say a coronal mass ejection will reach Earth this week. It has the ...

This triggered what’s known as a halo coronal mass ejection (CME), which sends a plume of plasma out of the Sun. The ejection is set to batter Earth with plasma and magnetic particles at around ...

Best viewable between 11pm and 2am, the lights are caused by the interaction between charged particles from a 'coronal mass ejection' – a violent expulsion from the sun – with atoms in Earth's ...
