Scientists tracked active solar region NOAA 13664 for 94 days, showing how persistent magnetic complexity drives flares and space weather.

'We live with this star, so it’s really important we observe it and try to understand how it works and how it affects our environment,' a solar physicist says.

An international team of researchers tracked the active solar region using the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint NASA and European Space Agency mission that orbits the Sun on an elliptical path to ...

The researchers imaged the active region NOAA 13664, which triggered the strongest solar storm observed in the last twenty years in May 2024.

By combining observations from two space missions, scientists were able to follow one exceptionally active region on the Sun ...

Scientists have pulled back the curtain on one of the most extreme solar regions seen in decades, tracking it almost nonstop ...

Learn about the longest observation of an active solar region, a feat that could start a path to improved solar storm forecasts.

In May 2024, the strongest solar storm in twenty years raged. An international team led by ETH Zurich observed it. Their findings are now helping to improve space weather forecasts. Our sun rotates ...
