they can can contain as much energy as a billion hydrogen bombs, according to NASA. Solar flares are classified according to their intensity, with X being the highest on the scale. X-class solar ...

In a previous communication1 we described some experiments on electromagnetic radiation emitted from the sun on a frequency of 175 Mc./s. In the present note we give some results, obtained during ...

IN some recent experiments of great interest and importance, both Reber1 and Southworth2 have succeeded in detecting and measuring solar radiation in the short-wave end of the radio spectrum. The ...

Solar flares measured around X1 — like the May 13 and 14 events — indicate strong flare intensity. An X10 flare is described as as a severe event, according to NOAA.

The sun has been unleashing a series of intense solar flares in recent weeks and much of last year as scientists forecast the sun has reached its solar maximum, an 11-year cycle.

What are solar flares? Solar energetic particles (SEP) are another constant source of radiation. A stream of high-energy particles that comes our way every day and night from the Sun, Earth’s ...

One of them has been that blocking enough solar radiation to bring down surface temperatures to around where they were at the beginning of the 20th century would greatly destabilize weather patterns.
