Solar flares are intense bursts of radiation from the Sun caused by the release of magnetic energy in its atmosphere. They occur in active regions near sunspots and can emit electromagnetic radiation across the spectrum, from radio waves to X-rays and gamma rays. These flares can impact Earth’s space environment, potentially disrupting satellite communications, GPS signals, and power grids. Strong solar flares are often associated with coronal mass ejections (CMEs), which can send charged partic

NASA’s PUNCH mission is preparing for launch no earlier than Saturday, March 8! 🥊🚀 PUNCH will revolutionize how we track solar storms heading to Earth. By tracking polarized, or “angled,” light, PUNCH will reveal solar eruptions in three dimensions like we’ve never seen them before. The data is critical to help us prepare for possible satellite disruptions, power outages, or dangers to astronauts in space caused by solar storms. Questions about this groundbreaking mission?

We’re seeing more solar storms now due to the sun’s current activity cycle. Recent storms have disrupted AM radio and GPS, and even affect ozone. Scientists are using smartphones and social media to track them like never before.
