A cosmonaut on the International Space Station has captured stunning orbital images of the aurora during the most powerful solar storm in two decades.
Heightened solar activity is triggering more frequent and intense northern lights displays, with recent solar storms pushing the aurora into lower latitudes.
Earth is bracing for a series of solar storms this weekend after multiple eruptions from the sun. While one event has passed, at least three more are expected.
The European Space Agency's Henon CubeSat, a luggage-sized satellite, is set to become the first to operate independently in deep space to improve solar storm warnings.
The European Space Agency ran a complex simulation of a Carrington-level solar storm to test satellite defenses ahead of the Sentinel-1D mission launch.
A new high-resolution simulation reveals that current space weather models are too simple, potentially allowing dangerous solar storms to go undetected.
Researchers propose a new four-spacecraft fleet called SWIFT that could improve space weather warnings by 40% by detecting 'space tornadoes' missed by current systems.
A single SpaceX rocket has successfully launched three specialized satellites for NASA and NOAA to study solar storms and improve space weather forecasting.
A SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket has launched three scientific probes to study solar activity and improve space weather forecasting from the Lagrange 1 point.
NASA and NOAA are launching the SWFO-L1 satellite, a new observatory designed to provide earlier warnings of solar storms that can impact Earth's technology.
