That's because the sun had two solar flares associated with two coronal mass ejections. Coronal mass ejections involve massive amounts of energy and charged particles shooting out of the sun, and can cause problems if directed at Earth, as was the case

By Bill Chappell This image of a huge and powerful solar flare was captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory Tuesday. The sun ejected two huge solar flares Tuesday, and NASA says that we here on Earth may notice the effects of magnetic fields and

By: Tariq Malik Published: 03/07/2012 07:31 AM EST on SPACE.com The sun unleashed a cosmic double whammy Tuesday (March 6), erupting with two major flares to cap a busy day of powerful solar storms.

The eruption, known as a coronal mass ejection (CME), has led to a "massive amount of solar particles heading towards Earth", which are expected to pass the planet, a spokesman for the Met Office said. But he added that the phenomenon was likely to go

UPDATE: They now say the proton pulse should hit Earth tomorrow morning … We'll see. The solar storm, according to SpaceWeather.com, ranks S3 – “Strong” – on the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration

"We've been hit by strong proton storms before, but [never so quickly]," says solar physicist Robert Lin of UC Berkeley. "Proton storms normally develop hours or even days after a flare." This one began in minutes. Here's what

A warning released by the Space Weather Prediction Center of NOAA said that a solar flare was detected Sunday night which peaked at 7.59 p.m. Pacific time. "SWPC (Space Weather Prediction Center) has issued a Geomagnetic Storm

Global communications could experience suffer severe disruptions this week after an enormous solar flare eruption on the surface of the sun sent a huge plume of radiation racing towards Earth.

The sun has thrown off a huge solar flare in the direction of the earth and that could mean weather permitting, we could see a very bright aurora borealis over the weekend. NASA report states that some flares can cause communication blackouts,

WASHINGTON (AP) – The sun is bombarding Earth with radiation from the biggest solar storm in more than six years with more to come from the fast-moving eruption. A solar flare is captured by the Solar Dynamics Observatory on Thursday. A solar flare is

By Rob Waugh A large, long-lasting solar flare erupted on the surface of the sun on Thursday, and was captured on camera by Nasa's orbiting Solar Dynamics Observatory. The flare was associated with a 'coronal mass ejection' – a burst of solar particles

(TheWeatherSpace.com) – A M-class CME solar flare blasted toward the Earth just over a day ago. This solar flare was a full halo CME, which means it was large, wide, and directly toward the planet. Forecasters at the Space Weather Prediction Center say
