Multiple spacecraft track evolving solar storm to improve space weather forecasts
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Jan 14, 2026 At times the sun ejects massive clouds of energetic material into space, and these events can disturb satellites, threaten astronauts and even affect power grids on the ground. Researchers are working to understand how these eruptions travel through the solar system so they can develop reliable space weather forecasts that protect critical technology and infrastructure. A team including scientists from the University of Tokyo has now produced the first high-quality, multipoint measurements of how ... read more |

NJIT researchers discover long-hidden source of gamma rays unleashed by solar flaresNewark NJ (SPX) Jan 08, 2026 Solar physicists say they have found a key source of intense gamma rays unleashed when Earth's nearest star produces its most violent eruptions. In findings published in Nature Astronomy, scie ... more 
NASA's IXPE Measures White Dwarf Star for First TimeHuntsville AL (SPX) Jan 05, 2026 For the first time, scientists have used NASA's IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarization Explorer) to study a white dwarf star. Using IXPE's unique X-ray polarization capability, astronomers examined a star ... more 
Solar probes follow hyperactive sunspot region through three full rotationsZurich, Switzerland (SPX) Jan 06, 2026 The sun rotates about once every 28 days, so active regions on its surface are usually visible from Earth for only around two weeks before they move out of view behind the limb. Ioannis Kontogiannis ... more 
Satellite and model fusion boosts China solar radiation forecastsTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 31, 2025 The intermittent output of solar power creates challenges for grid operators who must keep supply and demand in balance. Traditional numerical weather prediction models often handle cloud initializa ... more |

Ionospheric gradients tracked in real time to sharpen space weather monitoringTokyo, Japan (SPX) Dec 17, 2025 Accurate, real-time tracking of ionospheric structure is becoming critical for protecting satellite-based navigation and communications, and a new observation framework now directly measures how ele ... more 
Mission Space to fly second space weather payload with Rogue SpaceOrlando, FL (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 Mission Space will launch its second payload in orbit in partnership with Rogue Space, extending its commercial space weather measurement network. The companies announced the mission during the Spac ... more 
New MAGE model links solar storms to geospace responseLos Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 14, 2025 NASA's Center for Geospace Storms, or CGS, has released the Multiscale Atmosphere-Geospace Environment model, or MAGE, a supercomputer-based system that uses NASA mission data to show how different ... more 
Sun-watcher SOHO celebrates thirty yearsParis, France (SPX) Dec 12, 2025 On 2 December 1995 the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) blasted into space - on what was supposed to be a two-year mission. From its outpost 1.5 million km away from Earth in ... more 
Stereo solar campaign links Inouye and Solar Orbiter data on tiny 'campfires'Los Angeles CA (SPX) Dec 12, 2025 The Sun is not just a glowing ball in the sky. From large magnetic loops hundreds of times larger than Earth, to tiny features that blink in and out of existence, our home star is far more dynamic t ... more |

Auroral radio signal offers new insight into intense magnetic storms
Southampton, UK (SPX) Dec 05, 2025 A University of Southampton team has identified a distinct low frequency radio signature that appears when small-scale auroral structures known as auroral beads emerge, providing a new clue to how intense auroral substorms are triggered. Magnetospheric substorms are bursts of activity in Earth's aurora that can rapidly transform faint arcs into bright, dynamic displays stretching across the night sky. These events occur as magnetic energy built up in Earth's magnetosphere, driven by the solar wind ... 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 |

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, jol ... 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 
Solar storm brings new chance of vivid auroras, signal disruptionsWashington (AFP) Nov 13, 2025 Spectacular displays of auroras at abnormally low latitudes were expected again Wednesday night into Thursday, a result of intense solar activity which also carries risks to communication networks. ... more |
