Scientists have proposed a surprising connection between solar flares and earthquakes. When solar activity disturbs the ionosphere, it may generate electric fields that penetrate fragile fracture ...

The Sun, through its distant activity, could contribute to earthquakes. A theoretical study examines this unexpected idea. It ...

Researchers say a deadly earthquake in Japan and 2023’s most powerful solar flare occurring back-to-back can’t be a ...

Solar physicists and seismologists are testing a provocative idea: that violent outbursts from the Sun could be linked to the timing of some large earthquakes. New statistical work reports ...

Researchers have proposed that changes in Earth's ionosphere could trigger electrical forces that nudge fragile areas of the crust into creating an earthquake.

Solar Cycle 25 has reached its most active phase, bringing stronger solar flares and geomagnetic storms that may affect Earth’s technology.

This cluster of sunspots has produced more than 60 solar flares, including several that could spark colorful auroras across parts of the northern U.S.

A question about solar flares and changing Earth's orbit and what role they might play in climate change from a congressman during a House committee meeting have prompted confusion. During a recent ...

LAS CRUCES — The eerie yet beautiful auroras that delivered pink and green nighttime skies across New Mexico and much of the U.S. this month are the result of geomagnetic storms caused by solar ...

Beautiful yet dangerous solar flares that erupt from the sun could be as hot as 180 million degrees Fahrenheit, researchers say. That's more than six times hotter than solar physicists previously ...
