An international team, led by Instituto de Astrofísica e Ciências do Espaço (IA) researcher Ângela Santos, has made the first ...

The big gap in our knowledge is that we don’t have measurements of the magnetic field in the sun’s atmosphere, its corona,” says Gibson, who is a co-author of this new study.

As we approach solar maximum, something strange is happening to the sun's magnetic field. We explore this flip in polarity in more detail and look at the effects it could have on Earth.

For the first time in history, we re seeing the Sun from an angle no one ever has: from above and below its poles. Thanks to ...

NASA captured an image of the sun emitting a powerful solar flare that could interfere with technology on Earth.

Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough in solar physics by successfully producing detailed maps of the Sun's coronal magnetic fields. This milestone promises to enhance our understanding ...

The sun's magnetic poles swap positions every 11 years or so as the sun approaches its most active period (solar maximum), with the sun having no magnetic poles and a messy, ...

The poles of the sun’s magnetic field are fading away. But don’t panic: it’s all part of our host star’s usual 11-year cycle of activity.. Over the past couple of years, solar activity ...

Magnetic snake-like energy patterns could bring scientists a step closer to solving a lingering solar mystery: how the outer atmosphere of the sun can be tremendously hotter than its lower layers.

Known as the Hale cycle, this magnetic cycle lasts approximately 22 years, through which the sun's magnetic field reverses and then reverts to its original state, Ryan French, a solar ...
