A huge sun eruption combines with speedy solar wind from a "coronal hole" for a weekend aurora show, experts predict.

A new study has provided precise atomic data that shed light on the impact of charged ions from coronal mass ejections (CMEs) ...

The sun has somewhat surprised forecasters today with a dramatic X-class solar flare from a newly emerging sunspot region.
