Rare solar flare caused radiation in Earth’s atmosphere to spike to highest levels in nearly 20 years, researchers say
Levels of potentially dangerous cosmic radiation in Earth's atmosphere rose to a two-decade high in November after a rare solar super-flare pummeled the planet with high-speed particles from the sun.
Rare images reveal active sunspots minutes before they unleashed powerful X-flares that caused November 2025’s stunning auroras
We don't often get a good look at X-class solar flares from ground-based observatories.
