New study captures Sun’s early warning signs before solar flares
A new study, conducted with ISRO's collaboration, has identified early warning signs on the Sun that precede major solar flares. Researchers found that repeated small-scale energy releases can progressively destabilise the magnetic field in a solar active region, eventually leading to a large flare. Such early indicators could help scientists anticipate powerful flares before they erupt.
