The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle. The shift in polarity ...

Scientists observed a single solar active region continuously for 94 days, revealing how magnetic fields grow and trigger ...

In May 2024, the strongest solar storm in twenty years raged. An international team led by ETH Zurich observed it. Their ...

An international team of researchers tracked the active solar region using the Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint NASA and ...

The Sun’s magnetic field is invisible to our eyes, but it quietly shapes everything from the shimmering auroras over the ...

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 ...

The Sun is a magnetized star. Its magnetic field is essentially three dimensional and it occupies all layers of the solar atmosphere. However, routine measurements of the solar magnetic field have ...

Solar wind generated by the sun is probably driven by a process involving powerful magnetic fields, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers based on the latest ...

Solar wind speeds remain elevated as an incoming coronal mass ejection approaches Earth, with forecasts indicating increased ...

The Sun’s magnetic fields are the fundamental agents driving a wide array of dynamic phenomena in the corona, from flares to jets and the acceleration of the solar wind. Recent advances in ...

Tiny bits of Earth’s atmosphere have been drifting to the moon for billions of years, guided by Earth’s magnetic field.
