Aug 9, 2011 · On this page you will find an overview of the strongest solar flares of the year 2011 together with links to more information in our archive and a video (if available) of the event.
Jun 8, 2011 · Bottom line: NASA observed a dramatic solar flare on June 7, 2011. It was an M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare, an S1-class (minor) radiation storm and a spectacular coronal mass ejection...
Feb 17, 2011 · The first major solar flares of 2011 have erupted from the sun's surface and are bombarding the earth with radiation, scientists say. The earth is well-protected by its atmosphere and magnetic field, but satellites, power grids and GPS locators could be affected.
Jun 10, 2011 · By Dave Mosher. June 10, 2011. • 3 min read. A mushroom of cooled plasma popped like a pimple and rained onto the surface of the sun yesterday—shooting perhaps the largest amount of solar...
Jun 4, 2011 · A solar flare erupted on the far side of the sun on June 4, 2011, and sent solar neutrons out into space. Solar neutrons don’t make it to all the way to Earth, but NASA’s MESSENGER, orbiting Mercury, found strong evidence for the neutrons, offering a new technique to study these giant explosions.
Jun 30, 2011 · On June 7, 2011 the Sun unleashed an M-2 (medium-sized) solar flare with a spectacular coronal mass ejection (CME). The large cloud of particles mushroomed up and fell back down looking as if it covered an area almost half the solar surface. SDO observed the flare's peak at 1:41 AM ET.
Aug 9, 2011 · Summary: Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as...
