A moderate solar flare burst from the sun on Friday morning, marking the strongest eruption in days from an increasingly restless patch of the solar surface and giving aurora watchers across the northern United States and southern Canada a reason to look up this weekend.

Most people are familiar with the impact solar storms can have on technology. However, a question that often arises is whether these solar events can also affect human health. Read on to know more.

The whole world is talking about solar storms. News headlines focus on satellite disruptions, GPS failures, communication blackouts, and the possibility of dazzling auroras lighting up the night sky.

Inside the core, particles collide and release incredible amounts of energy, which radiate out from the Sun in the form of light – a process called nuclear fusion. The light travels outward towards the radiative zone outside the core,

A powerful solar storm is expected to strike Earth on June 8, potentially creating dazzling auroras, disrupting communications and giving scientists a rare opportunity to study space weather.

Internal changes due to the sun's "active biorhythm" have become increasingly "skin-deep" over the past four solar activity cycles, according to a new study.

For many years now, the activity of the Sun’s 11-year solar cycle has been gauged through visible indications like sunspots, solar activity, magnetic fields, and radio waves. Yet according to recent findings by the Birmingham Solar-Oscillations Network (BiSON),
