During a recent solar storm, NASA's Curiosity rover detected its highest-ever level of radiation reaching the surface of Mars.
Earth may experience another solar storm—and more auroras—in early June as the hyperactive sunspot cluster rotates back into view.
A recent solar storm triggered auroras around the world, but as millions watched this celestial display, its effects were also seen at the bottom of the ocean.
SpaceX's Elon Musk said the company's Starlink satellites were "under a lot of pressure" from the incoming radiation.
Plus: the world is warned to prepare for a geomagnetic storm, and a new fusion record.
“We have a very rare event on our hands," according to space weather forecasters.
A batch of strong solar flares has appeared on the Sun over the past few days, prompting officials to issue a severe geomagnetic storm watch.
This historically large sunspot, now 15 times wider than Earth, rivals the one linked to the colossal solar storm of 1859.
Europe’s Solar Orbiter has captured surreal video of the Sun’s atmosphere, revealing a slew of fascinating—and jaw dropping—stellar features.
