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.

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

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 ...

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 ...

as more sunspots with the intense magnetic activity are predicted to occur. MORE: This is when peak northern lights activity will occur These sunspots can produce solar flares and coronal mass ...

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, ...

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 ...

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 ...
