Northern lights may intensify over the next two years as the sun enters its peak activity phase, known as the solar maximum. Increased solar activity could affect satellites, communications ...

left, Dec. 2019) versus solar maximum (right, May 2024). These images are in the 171 wavelength of extreme ultraviolet light, which reveals the active regions on the Sun that are more common ...

"From brighter LED lights and screens to more efficient solar panels and more detailed medical imaging, the ability to control particle shapes could revolutionise product efficiency and performance." ...

The sun, and the intense magnetic activity it generates that causes the northern lights, waxes and wanes on an 11-year-long solar cycle. The peak of activity – the solar maximum – occurs when ...

The stronger the solar storm, the farther south the northern lights can be seen. A "severe" solar storm has made the northern lights visible in the U.S. much farther south than usual, bringing a ...

NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory captured them. If the northern lights are visible after dark this weekend — something that looks likely for northern-tier U.S. states — they could be spotted ...

The visibility for viewing will also depend on local weather conditions and city lights. The upcoming solar storm will have particles flowing from the sun that get caught up in Earth's magnetic ...

The Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights as they are commonly known, are often more visible in Earth's polar regions, but due to heightened solar activity these dancing displays could be seen with ...

The northern lights have already put in a show across Ohio in May. Tonight, the aurora borealis could shine across the northern half of the United States thanks to an incoming solar storm.

Expect to see more northern lights in unusual places as the sun continues to sizzle, space weather forecasters said Tuesday. Strong solar storms this year have triggered shimmering auroras much ...
