On September 4, 2025, NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) captured an incredible image of the Sun displaying a mysterious “S” shape, signaling an intense solar event that would trigger a ...

A new NASA study suggests that solar activity will remain high or rise further in the coming decades, contradicting previous assumptions that the sun was quieting down — and scientists "don't ...

In August of 1859, astronomers noticed an unusually large number of dark spots on the sun’s surface. One of those observers ...

This is the conclusion of researchers from the University of St Andrews, Scotland, who found that the positively charged ions ...

“All signs were pointing to the Sun going into a prolonged phase of low activity,” said Jamie Jasinski, study lead author and ...

Have you seen the Northern Lights? They're more than just pretty colors; when you see them in Pittsburgh, there's science ...

“We were excited by recent discoveries that a process called magnetic reconnection heats ions 6.5 times as much as electrons, ...

Some states in the northern U.S. might have an opportunity to see the northern lights Tuesday, and recent solar activity may make the phenomenon visible in more states later this week, according to ...

Back in 2019, a consortium of scientists predicted August 2025 as the peak of the solar activity cycle. But where are we now?

As the most intense energy release phenomenon in the solar atmosphere, solar flares can instantaneously elevate local temperatures to tens of millions of degrees Celsius. The X-rays and streams of ...

The forecasting of solar flares is a rapidly evolving field that combines observational solar physics with the latest developments in machine learning and statistical modelling. Solar flares are ...

Climate data in a report published by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Climate.gov website found that the sun’s solar activity, including overall brightness and sunspot ...
