Since ancient times, the sun has been known as a giver of light and heat, a source of life. Plants are coaxed from the Earth by its rays, bringing spring, followed by bountiful harvests.

A NASA satellite that suddenly reappeared after going silent gets credit for the remarkable discovery—a pair of temporary ...

“In a world that is now so dependent on electricity and electronics, a similar event has the potential to cause widespread ...

This magnetogram — a map of the sun's magnetic field — shows it's concentrated around sunspots on its surface. This strong magnetic field, indicated by red and blue areas, inhibits material ...

The Origin of the Sun's Magnetic Field Could Lie Close to Its Surface May 22, 2024 — Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun's ...

Regions of intense magnetic activity known as sunspots are proliferating on the solar surface and are capable of releasing intense bursts of radiation resulting in solar flares that can hurtle ...

A new study has accurately estimated the physical parameters of thermal and magnetic field structures of solar coronal holes which have significant influence on space weather that affects satellites, ...

May has been the most active month on the sun for decades, with 171 sunspots recorded. Sunspots are magnetic disturbances on the surface of the sun that can be as big as Earth and are where solar ...

Now that the agencies have determined that the sun has reached the zenith of Solar Cycle 25, sunspots located in regions of intense magnetic activity should increase. When that magnetic activity ...

Chronologically, solar weather starts with sunspots. The Sun's changing magnetic field can create turbulence in the Sun's outermost layers. These irregularities create zones of high magnetic ...
