When you look up at the sky on a sunny day, the sun might seem like a bright spot, unchanging in the sky. But the sun is a ...

A coronal hole on the sun just aimed fast solar wind at Earth — pushing the northern lights farther south than usual for the next few nights
A wide gap in the sun’s magnetic field is blowing a river of charged particles straight at Earth this week, and the result is ...
The sun’s magnetic poles are about to flip, and it could cause lower latitude northern lights, more intense solar storms and potential danger for astronauts and satellite communication. However, ...
The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the poles to the reliability of GPS on a jet’s navigation screen. When that ...
Scientists have developed a way to produce models of where the magnetic field lines are several times each day. Here we have created a time-lapse version of these models over four days (2-3 each day) ...
They say beauty is only skin deep, and apparently so is the Sun’s magnetic field, according to a recent study. The Sun’s magnetic field is shallow, suggests new research, which used computer ...
Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots wherever ...
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 ...
For decades after its discovery, observers could only see the solar chromosphere for a few fleeting moments: during a total solar eclipse, when a bright red glow ringed the Moon’s silhouette. More ...
This illustration lays a depiction of the sun's magnetic fields over an image captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The complex overlay of lines can teach scientists about the ways the sun's ...
