Astronomers have detected a coronal mass ejection racing away from a red dwarf star about 130 light-years away. Credit: Olena Shmahalo / Callingham et al. illustration Astronomers have captured the ...

Referred to as a “stealth storm,” a recent coronal mass ejection went undetected until it hit Earth. Stealth coronal mass ejections are more common after the Sun transitions from the solar maximum to ...

When the aurora suddenly pushes south of its usual polar range and lights up skies over states that rarely see it, the cause ...

A first ever detection of a coronal mass ejection from a small red dwarf could have big consequences for life on any nearby planets. On Earth, coronal mass ejections (CMEs) like the one we experienced ...

Extreme stellar flares have always captivated astronomers, but observing such phenomena on other stars had remained an elusive goal until now. Thanks to the European Space Agency's XMM-Newton ...

A coronal mass ejection could knock out power and disrupt communication on Earth Dan Falk | Science Correspondent A coronal mass ejection erupts from the sun in 2013. NASA In August of 1859, ...

For the first time, astronomers say they have spotted a giant explosion released by a star beyond our solar system. The eruption was similar in some ways to those unleashed by our sun, such as the ...

U.S. Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) detailed an inverse relationship between the brightness of the solar corona and the velocity of coronal mass ejections (CMEs) in a paper published in The ...

A physics team led by the University of Iowa has described a “super expanded” magnetic cloud created by a coronal mass ejection on the sun. The cloud’s dimensions were captured in two intervals of ...
