Roughly every 11 years, at the height of the solar cycle, the Sun’s magnetic poles flip — on Earth, that’d be like the North and South Poles swapping places every decade — and the Sun transitions from sluggish to active and stormy.During the most active part of the cycle, known as solar maximum, the Sun can unleash immense explosions of light, energy, and solar radiation — all of which create conditions known as space weather. Space weather can affect satellites and astronauts in space, as well as communications systems — such as radio and GPS — and power grids on Earth. When the Sun is most active, space weather events become more frequent. Solar activity, such as the storm in May 2024, has led to increased aurora visibility and impacts on satellites and infrastructure in recent months.Listen to the media telecon.Read NASA's article about the news. || ", "hits": 977 }, { "id": 14703, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14703/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-10-10T07:00:00-04:00", "title": "X1.8 Flare Erupts From Sun on October 8, 2024", "description": "NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory captured this imagery of an X1.8 solar flare – as seen in the bright flash in the center – on Oct. 08, 2024.

This solar flare is the largest of Solar Cycle 25 and is classified as an X8.7 flare. X-class denotes the most intense flares, while the number provides more information about its strength.A solar flare is an intense burst of radiation, or light, on the Sun. Flares are our solar system’s most powerful explosive events. Light only takes about 8 minutes to travel from the Sun to Earth, so that’s how long it would take the energy from a flare to reach our planet. Stronger solar flares — those rated class M5 or above — can have impacts on technology that depends on Earth’s ionosphere (our electrically charged upper atmosphere), like high-frequency radio used for navigation and GPS.NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured these images of the flare, which peaked at 12:51 p.m. ET on May 14. The X8.7 flare appears on the lower right edge of the Sun. (A small eruption appears afterward in the upper left.) SDO sees the Sun in more than 10 distinct wavelengths of light, showing solar material at different temperatures. Different wavelengths are shown in this video to highlight different features of the flare.Music credit: “Ethereal Mirrorscape” from the album Reflections written and produced by Lars LeonhardWatch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Complete transcript available. || X8pt7_flare_May_14_2024.00_00_40_22.Still001.jpg (3840x2160) [3.0 MB] || X8pt7_flare_May_14_2024.00_00_40_22.Still001_print.jpg (1024x576) [342.3 KB] || X8pt7_flare_May_14_2024.00_00_40_22.Still001_searchweb.png (320x180) [75.1 KB] || X8pt7_flare_May_14_2024.00_00_40_22.Still001_web.png (320x180) [75.1 KB] || X8pt7_flare_May_14_2024.00_00_40_22.Still001_thm.png (80x40) [6.1 KB] || 14592_SDO_X8pt7_flare_May_14_2024_ProRes_Outro.webm (3840x2160) [20.4 MB] || 14592_SDO_X8pt7_flare_May_14_2024_Good_Outro.mp4 (3840x2160) [175.9 MB] || 14592_SDO_X8pt7_flare_May_14_2024_YouTube_Outro.mp4 (3840x2160) [673.0 MB] || 14592_SDO_X8pt7_flare_May_14_2024_ProRes_Outro.mov (3840x2160) [4.2 GB] || ", "hits": 454 }, { "id": 14588, "url": "https://svs.gsfc.nasa.gov/14588/", "result_type": "Produced Video", "release_date": "2024-05-09T09:00:00-04:00", "title": "May 2-10, 2024 : A Busy Week of Flares", "description": "Produced VideoWatch this video on the NASA Goddard YouTube channel.Music Credit: “Halos” from the album Burning Clouds.
