One of Jupiter's moons known as Io is well known for its intense geological activity, as it has more than 400 active volcanoes, making it the most volcanically active body in the s ...

The Sun's magnetic fields are dynamic and complex, influencing phenomena such as solar flares and coronal mass ejections (CMEs). These eruptions can release vast amounts of energy and charged ...

Dating extreme solar eruption events is essential for scientists who study and develop models of the sun’s activity over time. A new analysis of tree rings worldwide for carbon-14 — a ...

CMEs are eruptions of solar material that, when aimed at Earth, can amplify northern lights displays and interfere with satellites and power infrastructure. If a CME is confirmed, the flare could ...

But coronal mass ejections (CMEs) are huge eruptions of plasma that take hours to days to follow as they billow out through the Solar System. On reaching us, CMEs slam into Earth's magnetic field ...
