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

All celestial bodies—planets, suns, even entire galaxies—produce magnetic fields, affecting such cosmic processes as the ...

Scientists watched a solar flare grow from tiny magnetic sparks into a violent plasma-raining avalanche on the Sun.

The substances could help supply a lunar base ...

This study provides an unparalleled estimate of the magnitude, structure, and evolution of magnetic fields inside the Sun over three decades, which is tremendously important for understanding how our ...

When a solar storm strikes Earth, it can disrupt technology that's vital for our daily lives. Solar storms occur when ...

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

Solar Orbiter observations show that a medium-class solar flare formed through cascading magnetic reconnection events, ...

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

Solar Orbiter has captured the clearest evidence yet that a solar flare grows through a cascading “magnetic avalanche.” Small, weak magnetic disturbances rapidly multiplied, triggering stronger and ...

Solar flares are characterized by intense bursts of energy and radiation from the Sun’s surface. In a matter of just a few ...

For many centuries, the Sun has been one of the most recognisable but least understood phenomena in our sky. While it has ...
