For the first time, scientists have used satellite data to create a 3D map of the sun's interior magnetic field, the ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The sun's magnetic field, which causes solar storms like the one that hit Earth this month and produced beautiful auroras, may originate at shallower depths in the star's ...

Every few years, the sun seems to change its mood. Dark spots appear and ...

CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla.CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — New research indicates the sun’s magnetic field originates much closer to the surface than previously thought, a finding that could help predict periods of ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter ...

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 ...

New research indicates the sun's magnetic field originates much closer to the surface than previously thought, a finding that could help predict periods of extreme solar storms like the ones that ...

Scientists have identified a new source of energetic particles near the Sun. These definitive observations were made by instruments aboard NASA's Parker Solar Probe, which detected the powerful ...

New research suggests the sun’s magnetic field originates 20,000 miles beneath the surface, much closer than the previously estimated 130,000 miles. This discovery could improve predictions of extreme ...

Earth just experienced a rare S4 solar radiation storm, the most intense since 2003 — powerful for satellites and astronauts, ...

Radiation storms are nothing to sniff at, big ones can take out vital satellites, which is why scientists and astronauts take ...
