New research led by NASA Goddard found persistent “erroneous measurements” skewing past estimates for how severe geomagnetic ...

StormWall, which involves school-bus-size satellites and a whole lot of salt, could provide an ionic ‘air bag’ for the Earth.

In 2025, scientists expect the Sun to hit its solar maximum, the peak of its 11-year activity cycle. During this time, it’ll ...

NASA's latest study reveals Earth's magnetic field may not limit the impact of extreme solar storms, raising concerns about ...

Space weather or solar storms peak during solar maximum – a cycle that occurs approximately every 11 years – but serious events can also happen during solar minimum. Currently, we are experiencing a ...

The regular solar cycle is a mere climate murmur, but sudden geomagnetic jolts are a different story. These high-altitude outbursts appear to be hijacking the polar vortex to rewrite weather on the ...

A planetary defense system would blunt solar storms with hundreds of tons of gas. Emerging heavy-lift rockets could deploy it in under two months. Extreme space weather could wreak havoc on the ...

A new study has revealed an unexpected link between solar storms and the flux of high-energy cosmic rays arriving at Earth. The findings, made using one of the world's largest cosmic ray detectors, ...

Solar storms satellites must withstand are among the most powerful natural space events, driven by space weather activity that releases massive energy bursts into the solar system. These events ...

Solar storms have long been treated as a hazard to satellites, power grids, and GPS systems. A peer-reviewed study published in Geophysical Research Letters this spring adds a category that no ...

A solar storm is a sudden explosion of particles, energy, magnetic fields and material blasted into the solar system by the sun When directed towards earth they can create a disturbance in our ...
