Astronomers find solar flares are triggered by magnetic avalanches that turn into raining plasma
Imagine standing on a snowy mountain ridge. A single fracture forms in the ice crust, or a small patch of heavy snow shifts ...
The ESA's Solar Orbiter has discovered that solar flares act like avalanches, growing from weak disturbances into powerful ...

Sun’s hidden magnetic interior mapped for the first time using 30 years of satellite data
Every few years, the sun seems to change its mood. Dark spots appear and ...
Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.
Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...
"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...
Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...
Our Sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona, is millions of degrees hotter than it should be, and no one knows why.
NASA's Parker Solar Probe has directly observed a powerful magnetic explosion in the sun's corona that could help us predict geomagnetic storms on Earth. When you purchase through links on our site, ...
