Solar flares and other solar activity, such as solar storms, are only expected to become more common by 2025 as the Sun reaches the height of its 11-year cycle, known as the solar maximum.

Three more moderate solar flares followed, and we could see more eruptions in the coming days. The sun has already produced more X flares in 2023 than 2022, as it's ramping up to peak activity.

On Tuesday, the sun launched its largest solar flare in seven years and the largest of the ongoing 11-year solar cycle. It marks the culmination of an excessively busy period for our closest star.

Three top-tier X-class solar flares launched off the sun between Wednesday and Thursday. The first two occurred seven hours apart, coming in at X1.9 and X1.6 magnitude respectively. The third, the ...

While solar flares can cause phenomena such as the aurora borealis that captured attention at the beginning of May, they can cause a lot of damage, too.

Solar flares are classified by their X-ray brightness as A, B, C, M or X with A being the smallest and X being the brightest and largest. This was the first X flare tossed off by the sun since a ...
