Citizen scientists reviewing NASA data discovered unusually high Solar flare rates, helping researchers better understand the Sun’s magnetic activity and improve space-weather predictions.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed its 27th close approach to the Sun on March 11, again matching its record distance of 3.8 million miles (6.2 million kilometers) from the solar surface.

NASA’s latest study, relying on inputs from the Solar Active Region Spotter citizen science project, has uncovered groundbreaking insights into solar flare behavior. Volunteers from around the globe have helped scientists discover that long-lived active regions on the Sun produce far more intense and frequent solar flares than short-lived ones.

Aug. 20 (UPI) --NASA announced Wednesday that it is deciphering the sun's behavior with help from artificial intelligence. In a press release, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration said that, in conjunction with IBM among other partners, it has ...

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe completed its 27th close approach to the Sun in March 2026, gathering data from the corona to improve understanding of solar wind and space weather.

The sun’s activity is escalating far beyond scientist’s predictions, Nasa has warned, resulting in more solar storms, flares and space weather events. Solar activity typically follows an 11-year cycle, with the cycle’s strength steadily decreasing ...

New observations are helping scientists peer beneath the Sun’s surface, revealing where its magnetic activity may truly begin. Every 11 years, the Sun’s magnetic field reverses. As that cycle unfolds,
