Solar physicists have long known that the sun stores staggering amounts of magnetic energy, but the exact trigger that lets ...

When the sun reaches its period of peak activity, known as solar maximum, our star's magentic field will suddenly reverse. But why does it happen, and will it impact Earth? When you purchase through ...

Aurora alert! The colossal solar storm could impact and trigger impressive northern lights.

While making a death-defying dive through the sun’s atmosphere, NASA's Parker Solar Probe has directly recorded a powerful plasma explosion heading toward our star’s surface in unprecedented detail.

A blistering coronal mass ejection from the Sun raced to Earth in just 25 hours, triggering a severe G4 geomagnetic storm and ...

Scientists have pulled back the curtain on one of the most extreme solar regions seen in decades, tracking it almost nonstop ...

ESA’s Solar Orbiter discovered cascading magnetic avalanches on the Sun, triggering powerful solar flares and particle storms, revealing hidden processes that could protect satellites and advance ...

The Sun is governed by a strict rhythm. The magnetic activity of the Sun displays a cyclic variation, reaching a maximum approximately every eleven years. Two enormous plasma circulations, each in one ...

Did two vast holes really open up on the Sun and point directly at Earth? We unpack whether Earth is facing serious space ...
