A solar flare is a relatively intense, localized emission of electromagnetic radiation in the Sun's atmosphere. Flares occur in active regions and are often, but not always, accompanied by coronal mass ejections, solar particle events, and other eruptive solar phenomena. The occurrence of solar flares varies with the 11-year solar cycle.
May 2024 solar storms: X1.2(X1.3)-class flares [93] and X4.5-class flare. [94] The flares with a magnitude of 6–7 occurred between 30 April and 4 May 2024. On 5 May the strength of the solar storm reached 5 points, which is considered strong according to the K-index. The rapidly growing sunspot AR3663 became the most active spot of the 25th ...
Solar urticaria is an immunoglobulin E-mediated hypersensitivity that can be introduced through primary or secondary factors, or induced by exogenous photosensitization. [15] [16] Primary SU is believed to be a type I hypersensitivity (a mild to severe reaction to an antigen including anaphylaxis) in which an antigen, or substance provoking an immune response, is "induced by UV or visible ...
The Sun has unleashed a powerful solar flare, Nasa has said. The flare, designated X2.3, belongs to the most intense X class of flares. It was spotted by Nasa’s Solar Dynamics Observatory, which ...
The incoming solar storm arose from a strong flare near “Region 3500” on the Sun, scientists say. Solar storms are known to interfere with the Earth’s magnetic field and cause damages to ...
Solar flares emit radiation commonly in the form of ultraviolet light and X-rays that can hurtle toward Earth at the speed of light. Some of these flares can be accompanied by coronal mass ...
The first visible and electromagnetic effects of a solar flare reach observers on Earth at the speed of light, which means they were spotted about eight minutes after they occurred on the surface ...
Solar storms include: Solar flare, a large explosion in the Sun's atmosphere caused by tangling, crossing or reorganizing of magnetic field lines; Coronal mass ejection (CME), a massive burst of plasma from the Sun, sometimes associated with solar flares; Geomagnetic storm, the interaction of the Sun's outburst with Earth's magnetic field
