However, astronauts would benefit from a reduced number of solar flares, which also produce dangerous radiation, said the magazine.

Because of the hazards and short lead times, for decades scientists have been trying to find reliable predictors of solar flares.

The sun's magnetic poles sometimes reverse, causing massive solar flares that lash out into the solar system.

Solar flares are bright as they erupt from the sun, but after the first few hours they diffuse to near invisibility.

Along the way the astronauts would be bombarded by cosmic radiation and risk being baked by unpredictable solar flares.

Scientists have detected a consistent pattern in the sun's magnetic behavior that precedes solar flares.

Solar flares unleash bright flashes of light of almost every colour, along with streams of charged particles.

Solar flares are enormous magnetic outbursts from the sun that bombard the earth with high speed subatomic particles.

That sort of thing is caused more by solar flares.

It was dogged by bad luck, ranging from solar flares to boulder-strewn landing fields, and returned to Earth three years late.

Solar flares and energetic particle events also complicate matters by interrupting satellite and shortwave radio communications .

Until the early 1990s, it was widely believed that solar flares triggered geomagnetic storms.

If electrical failures happen and no solar flares are present, NASA can preach the new SDO findings about delayed ultraviolet radiation.

A total solar eclipse, showing solar flares and prominences past the limb of the Sun, which is blocked by the Moon, and the solar corona.

Surrounding a moon base with a meter or so of water would help protect explorers from solar flares and cosmic rays.

The legions of space pirates are causing solar flares and sending shock waves to destroy your planet. You must fly in and arrest them all.

These studies may help scientists predict when and where solar flares might appear and whether a given storm is pointed at Earth.

It generally refers to all solar activities including sunspots and solar flares, and the effects they may have on the Earth.

Solar phenomena, such as the sun spots and solar flares, provide good indications of space weather.

The filaments may be analogous to solar flares or could be magnetic structures of some sort.

It is hoped the SDO will help scientists learn the damage solar flares can do to communication satellites and power supplies.

An absence of sunspots also means an absence of solar flares and their more violent siblings, coronal mass ejections.

Solar flares send out bursts of electromagnetic energy that strike the Earth's magnetic field.

Sun spots were scarce and solar flares were nonexistent, NASA reported.

Does this change the way solar flares have always operated vs a vs mankind's electrical systems?

Solar flares rise and fall on an 11-year cycle, so scientists thought sunspot activity would pick up some time in 2008.

Humans live in sealed, cave-like lava tubes, protected from solar flares and sustained by large surface greenhouses.

Is there anything else about the solar flares or the electric grid problems you want to share with us?

solar flares are sudden and brief explosions that rip through our sun s atmosphere
