Solar storm warning systems could gain hours of advance time thanks to a completed UK-built magnetometer called MAGIC, which ...

A team at the Applied Physics Lab is working to understand the complex science behind predicting invisible threats that can ...

Based on previous measurement data, it was thought that there was an upper limit to consequences of a solar storm. Such a ...

A new study has revealed an unexpected link between solar storms and the flux of high-energy cosmic rays arriving at Earth. The findings, made using one of the world's largest cosmic ray detectors, ...

A planetary defense system would blunt solar storms with hundreds of tons of gas. Emerging heavy-lift rockets could deploy it in under two months. Extreme space weather could wreak havoc on the ...

The regular solar cycle is a mere climate murmur, but sudden geomagnetic jolts are a different story. These high-altitude outbursts appear to be hijacking the polar vortex to rewrite weather on the ...

Solar storms have long been treated as a hazard to satellites, power grids, and GPS systems. A peer-reviewed study published in Geophysical Research Letters this spring adds a category that no ...
