Cecilia Payne deduced that the sun is mainly made of hydrogen - but was encouraged to downplay her findings by her PhD supervisor. Mike Sutton takes up the story ...
"The combination of salt water and chlorine can strip it of all moisture if I don't keep on top of conditioning ingredients.
And with a relaxed, airy dining space that works equally well for a casual date with yourself as it does for a special ...
Researchers developed a copper-based growth process that produces large-area trilayer graphene films with uniform thickness ...
Well, the pole's magnetic field, simply put, is a mess at the moment. See, the sun's magnetic field flips roughly every 11 years, and it's about to flip this year if it hasn't yet.
Sun damage manifests in multiple ways across different layers of your skin. Surface-level damage includes dark spots, rough texture, and visible capillaries that create an aged, weathered appearance.
Solar Orbiter used momentum from its flyby of Venus on February 18 to push itself out of the ecliptic plane that contains Earth’s orbit around the Sun. Around a month later, the spacecraft was ...
Some planets take the expression "you're your own worst enemy" to the extreme. At least, that's what astronomers found when ...

“When the sun is at its minimum, you have a north pole and a south pole, each with its own magnetic polarity,” Anik De Groof, Solar Orbiter’s mission manager, tells the New York Times ...
For the first time, ESA’s Solar Orbiter has captured direct images of the Sun’s north and south poles, offering crucial insight into the chaotic magnetic fields during peak solar activity ...
These data will transform our understanding of the Sun’s magnetic field, the solar wind, and solar activity,” explained Daniel Müller, ESA’s Solar Orbiter project scientist.
