New study captures Sun’s early warning signs before solar flares
A new study has identified early-warning signs in the Sun that precede large solar flares. Researchers found that repeated small-scale energy releases can progressively destabilise the magnetic field in a solar active region, eventually triggering a major flare. ISRO collaborated on the work, which could improve the forecasting of solar flares.
