"This is one of the most exciting results from Solar Orbiter so far." ...

Solar physicists have long known that the sun stores staggering amounts of magnetic energy, but the exact trigger that lets ...

When the sun reaches its period of peak activity, known as solar maximum, our star's magentic field will suddenly reverse. But why does it happen, and will it impact Earth? When you purchase through ...

Solar Orbiter captured the most detailed view of a solar flare, observing the build-up of events that lead to the explosion.

F or all of its life-sustaining energy, the sun is pretty chaotic. Roiling plasma covers its surface along with fluidic snarls of magnetic fields that birth solar flares. These fiery outbursts occur ...

Image of the Sun taken from the Solar Dynamics Observatory satellite, showing the quiet corona and magnetic structures like coronal loops, which trace the intricate patterns of magnetic field lines ...

A major geomagnetic storm is never simply a spectacular sky event; it is a stress test of the technologies that assume the ...

The Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) for July 30, 2025, features an awe-inspiring image of coronal loops on the Sun, offering a rare glimpse into the dynamic behavior of our star. Captured by ...

NOAA's GOES-16 satellite captured the sun blast a "huge rush of mass" that warped the magnetic field, according to the ...

Solar flares have an enormous impact on the wider Solar System. These sudden releases of energy can cause geomagnetic storms on Earth and radio blackouts too, like the one that's happened in the last ...
