Solar flares and solar wind sound similar but there are some very key differences between the two since they are very different phenomena. First, solar flares are the sudden, localized eruption of ...

Virtual power plants are platforms that harness the power of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar panels, home batteries, electric vehicle charging stations, and wind turbines, to create ...

Solar flares are bursts of radiation from the sun’s surface, sometimes followed by a bubble of magnetized plasma particles called a coronal mass ejection (CME). If they happen to spray out in ...

An international team, including an Oregon State University astrophysicist, has confirmed a 19-year-old theory on solar flare formation by observing “slip-running” reconnections of the sun’s magnetic ...

Aditya-L1’s SUIT detects a solar flare kernel in near-UV for the first Observations confirm energy transfer across different solar layers Findings published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters ...

Unlike the total solar eclipse in April 2024, the upcoming total lunar eclipse, the first since November 2022, doesn't require special equipment to witness safely. Here's what makes the lunar ...

The sun also produces powerful solar flares and coronal mass ejections that trigger geomagnetic storms, which lead to northern lights here on Earth. This year's solar maximum is expected to be ...

Energy services companies, particularly those providing O&M services, are being invited to provide their expertise to a series of solar PV hybrid power plants that have been deployed under the ...

Australia’s sun is a blessing, but our energy bills often feel like a curse. More and more Aussies are looking to take control of their power, and solar battery storage is a game-changer. Imagine ...

The spacecraft recorded the first-ever image of a solar flare ‘kernel.’ This rare observation was made in the lower solar atmosphere. The captured image shows the phenomenon in the photosphere ...

Scientists track the solar cycle by counting the number of sunspots. Moreover, “giant eruptions on the Sun, such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections, also increase during the solar cycle. These ...
