PUNCH mission delivers sweeping new view of solar activity
Dec 17, 2025 (SPX)
SwRI's Dr. Craig DeForest outlined the mission's early achievements during a media roundtable at the AGU25 conference on December 16, highlighting how the four-...
Ionospheric gradients tracked in real time to sharpen space weather monitoring
Dec 17, 2025 (SPX)
The ionosphere is shaped by solar radiation, geomagnetic activity, and atmospheric processes, and its changing state can disrupt satellite navigation and radio ...
Mission Space to fly second space weather payload with Rogue Space
Dec 14, 2025 (SPX)
The first Mission Space payload, ZOHAR-I, launched in March 2025 and recently received the 2025 Global Tech Award for advances in high-cadence radiation monitor...
NASA's Parker Solar Probe Spies Solar Wind 'U-Turn'
Dec 14, 2025 (SPX)
Like a toddler, our Sun occasionally has disruptive outbursts. But instead of throwing a fit, the Sun spews magnetized material and hazardous high-energy partic...
New MAGE model links solar storms to geospace response
Dec 14, 2025 (SPX)
The MAGE model links several existing predictive tools for Earth's magnetosphere, ring current, and upper atmosphere into a single framework, giving space weath...
Sun boundary map tracks shifting Alfven surface over solar cycle
Dec 14, 2025 (SPX)
The team mapped the region known as the Alfven surface, where the outward flow of the solar wind exceeds the speed at which magnetic waves can travel, creating ...
Sun-watcher SOHO celebrates thirty years
Dec 12, 2025 (SPX)
From its outpost 1.5 million km away from Earth in the direction of the Sun, SOHO enjoys uninterrupted views of our star. It has provided a nearly continuous re...
Stereo solar campaign links Inouye and Solar Orbiter data on tiny 'campfires'
Dec 12, 2025 (SPX)
Thanks to an unprecedented collaboration led by Barczynski between two of the most advanced solar observatories ever built - on Earth and in space - scientists ...
Auroral radio signal offers new insight into intense magnetic storms
Dec 03, 2025 (SPX)
Magnetospheric substorms are bursts of activity in Earth's aurora that can rapidly transform faint arcs into bright, dynamic displays stretching across the nigh...
Solar telescope captures flare rich sunspot region in fine detail
Nov 28, 2025 (SPX)
High resolution imaging of strong solar flares from ground based telescopes is hard to secure because major eruptions often occur on the far side of the Sun, du...
NJIT scientists track recent solar flare disruptions in Earth's ionosphere
Nov 25, 2025 (SPX)
The flares triggered R3 (strong) radio blackouts across Africa and Europe, with several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) fueling a major geomagnetic storm and auro...
Plasmasphere compressed by recent geomagnetic superstorm dramatically slowed recovery
Nov 21, 2025 (SPX)
Led by Dr. Atsuki Shinbori at Nagoya University's Institute for Space-Earth Environmental Research, the team used data from the Arase satellite, which was ideal...
Newly detected radiation in near-Earth space fades with rising solar activity
Nov 20, 2025 (SPX)
The hectometric continuum occupies a frequency range of 600 - 1700 kHz and occurs at altitudes of one to two Earth radii, where Earth's magnetic field influence...
Haystack scientists study recent geospace storms and light shows
Nov 15, 2025 (SPX)
Auroral events are generated when particles in space are energized by complicated processes in the near-Earth environment, following which they interact with ga...
Our Solar System Is Moving Faster Than Expected
Nov 14, 2025 (SPX)
"Our analysis shows that the solar system is moving more than three times faster than current models predict," says lead author Lukas Bohme. "This result clearl...
Solar storm brings new chance of vivid auroras, signal disruptions
Nov 13, 2025 (AFP)
After kicking off earlier this week, the rare event could continue until Thursday, according to the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). T...
ESA actively monitoring severe space weather event
Nov 13, 2025 (ESA)
The resulting geomagnetic storm is severe and may affect satellites, power grids, and navigation systems, but does not pose a direct biological risk to people o...
2025's strongest solar flare triggers global radio blackout
Nov 11, 2025 (UPI)
It was the year's strongest solar flare. Scientists said the flare peaked around 5 a.m. EST, creating the most intense outburst since October 2024. The solar fl...
Solar Orbiter reveals rapid polar magnetic field drift on the Sun
Nov 06, 2025 (SPX)
Scientists observed that supergranulation cells, comprised of hot plasma roughly two to three times the diameter of Earth, form a network that drifts poleward a...
First comprehensive altitude mapping of blue aurora at 200 kilometers using hyperspectral imaging
Nov 06, 2025 (SPX)
Traditional approaches for capturing auroral altitude profiles relied on stereoscopic imaging with multiple cameras, but the new technique applies fine-grained ...
