NJIT scientists track recent solar flare disruptions in Earth's ionosphere
Newark, NJ (SPX) Nov 25, 2025 Recent measurements recorded by NJIT's new network of radio telescopes show how a rare sequence of intense flares from Nov. 9 - 14, including an X5.1 event marking 2025's strongest flare so far, jolted the ionosphere - the plasma-filled atmospheric layer essential for radio signals, GPS accuracy and satellite orbits. The flares triggered R3 (strong) radio blackouts across Africa and Europe, with several coronal mass ejections (CMEs) fueling a major geomagnetic storm and aurora at unusually low lat ... read more |

Solar telescope captures flare rich sunspot region in fine detailBerlin, Germany (SPX) Nov 28, 2025 Scientists using the GREGOR solar telescope in Tenerife have obtained a rare series of high resolution observations of the active region NOAA 14274, a sunspot group that generated two X class solar ... more 
Plasmasphere compressed by recent geomagnetic superstorm dramatically slowed recoveryTokyo, Japan (SPX) Nov 21, 2025 Researchers have detailed how a geomagnetic superstorm on May 10-11, 2024, shrank Earth's plasmasphere, a protective zone of charged particles, to just one-fifth of its normal size. The event, named ... more 
Newly detected radiation in near-Earth space fades with rising solar activityBerlin, Germany (SPX) Nov 20, 2025 Scientists from HSE University and the Space Research Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences analyzed ERG (Arase) satellite data collected over seven years, revealing details of the hectometri ... more 
Haystack scientists study recent geospace storms and light showsBoston MA (SPX) Nov 15, 2025 The northern lights, or aurora borealis, one of nature's most spectacular visual shows, can be elusive. Conventional wisdom says that to see them, we need to travel to northern Canada or Alaska. How ... more |
