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

The sun’s secret south pole has stepped into the light. For the first time, humanity has captured striking views of the sun’s mysterious polar region, thanks to the Solar Orbiter spacecraft. In a ...

ESA’s Solar Orbiter discovered cascading magnetic avalanches on the Sun, triggering powerful solar flares and particle storms ...

The Sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the Sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum approximately every eleven years. Two enormous plasma circulations, each in one ...

While making a death-defying dive through the sun’s atmosphere, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has directly recorded a powerful plasma explosion heading toward our star’s surface in unprecedented detail.

Aurora alert! The colossal solar storm could impact and trigger impressive northern lights.

Researchers at IIT Kanpur have mapped the magnetic field inside the Sun for the first time by combining 30 years of surface observational data from space satellites into a 3D computational model.

A study led by University of Iowa Associate Professor David Miles will study how the sun impacts the Earth’s magnetic field using a NASA satellite that will launch later this month. The study dubbed ...
