Predicting sunspots

With a techniques borrowed from earthquake detection, researchers are learning to predict where sunspots will boil-up. That ...
Coronal hole on the Sun: A massive, inverted '1'-shaped coronal hole on the Sun, stretching a million kilometers, is ...
Kanpur: Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-K) mapped the magnetic field inside the Sun for the first ...
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 ...
Earth's magnetic field was struck by a "severe" solar storm Monday (Jan. 19), triggering vibrant auroras in the U.S. and ...
The storm could also impact power systems and spacecraft operations.
A potent X1.9 solar flare erupted on January 18, potentially causing geomagnetic storms due to a fast-moving coronal mass ejection.
Solar flares are bursts of energy that can disrupt radio communications, navigation signals, and electric power grids.
A solar storm of this strength could spark aurora visible to the naked eye as far south as parts of California, the central ...
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 blistering coronal mass ejection from the Sun raced to Earth in just 25 hours, triggering a severe G4 geomagnetic storm and ...
A massive solar storm has created rare Northern Lights in regions where they’re rarely seen, marking the first event of its ...
