Solar flares (geomagnetic storms) can cause power grid, cellphone, and GPS disruptions, but they're not likely to cause health issues.

thousands of reports of northern lights coming in from multiple locations across europe. a severe 94 geomagnetic storm is currently affecting the earth, the biggest one in nearly two decades, the last being in 2005. a series of powerful severe geomagnetic storms are expected to hit earth tonight into saturday, affecting much of canada and possibly extending as far south as alabama and northern california in the united states. this follows multiple strong geomagnetic storms produced by our…

From auroras to blackouts, here’s how geomagnetic storms and solar flares impact us here on Earth.

A massive X-class solar flare erupted from the sun today and it appears an associated coronal mass ejection from the Sun could reach Earth on October 30...

Between Friday (May 10) and Sunday (May 12), people across the world were treated to stunning aurora displays as Earth's magnetic field experienced its biggest disturbance since October 2003. The supercharged storm also messed with satellites and caused power grid irregularities.

Planet Earth is surrounded by a system of magnetic fields known as the magnetosphere. This vast, comet-shaped system deflects charged particles coming from the sun, shielding our planet from harmful particle radiation and preventing solar wind (i.e., a stream of charged particles released from the sun's upper atmosphere) from eroding the atmosphere.

As humans, we can be greatly affected by certain space weather activity, such as solar flares ​and electromagnetic storms on a mental, emotional, physical and spiritual level. Find out about such phenomenon and the various associated symptoms you may expe

A recent geomagnetic storm on January 30 caused the mesmerizing Northern Lights to grace parts of North America. However, this beautiful phenomenon also disrupted radio communications, including GPS signals and satellite communications. The storm was triggered by a coronal mass ejection from the sun, which occurred four days prior. Despite being classified as a minor G1-class geomagnetic storm by NASA, it still had a significant impact on Earth's magnetic field and electrical systems. Dr…

The sun spits out more and weirder gamma rays than anyone expected, which could give a new view of the sun’s magnetic fields.

(NEXSTAR) – Friday night, Americans across the country were able to catch a glimpse of the northern lights from coast to coast, a sight many only get to see once in their lifetime. But for those who missed it, or are hoping for a second look, you may just get that chance Saturday night. According…

A new theory is welcome for those who are ready to dismiss dark matter altogether.
