A large team of researchers working on the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer Collaboration, which has been analyzing eleven years' ...

It’s notoriously difficult to predict when the sun will belch out a large solar flare — an explosive burst of radiation that ...

Scientists have long struggled to accurately predict solar flares, but a recent breakthrough using NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory has uncovered a promising new sign: flickering coronal loops. These ...

NASA/Solar Dynamics Observatory Solar flares are ... 2024 The researchers hope that these flickering variations of the coronal loops could be between 60 to 80 percent accurate in predicting ...

A solar cycle: a montage of ten years of Yohkoh SXT images, showing the variation in solar activity over a solar cycle, from August 30, 1991, to September 6, 2001. Credit: the Yohkoh mission of ISAS ...

Conventional models for solar, for example, often reduce variability to a yearly average. “It was not as important when renewable wind and solar were only 5% of all energy sources but that is ...
