Scientists have managed to turn Laschamps event, or the cosmic event when Earth's magnetic poles switched places – the North ...

We Earthlings see the sun every day of our lives—but gaining a truly new view of our star is a rare and precious thing. So ...

The robotic Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained the first images ever taken of our sun's two poles as scientists seek a deeper understanding of Earth's host star, including its magnetic field ...

The robotic Solar Orbiter spacecraft has obtained the first images ever taken of our sun's two poles as scientists seek a deeper understanding of Earth's host star, including its magnetic field, its ...

During Solar Orbiter’s observations of the Sun, the polarity from the north and the south poles are both present in the south pole. This marks a crucial time in understanding the Sun’s activity.

For the first time, ESA’s Solar Orbiter has captured direct images of the Sun’s north and south poles, offering crucial insight into the chaotic magnetic fields during peak solar activity ...

The Solar Orbiter spacecraft, a joint mission between the European Space Agency and NASA, is the first to venture into a ...

Images of the north pole are still being transmitted by the spacecraft back to Earth. Solar Orbiter, developed by ESA in collaboration with the U.S. space agency NASA, was launched in 2020 from ...

Unlike Earth, which has fixed north and south poles, the sun's equivalents flip on an 11-year cycle. This is because its equator spins faster than its poles - every 26 days compared to every 33 days - ...

The first ever video and images of the Sun's south pole have been sent back to Earth by the European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft. The new images will enable scientists to learn how the ...

A rare geological event occurs every 300,000 years or so: the Earth’s magnetic poles flip. The magnetic poles are the two ...

"Whilst the Earth has a clear north and south pole, the Solar Orbiter measurements show both north and south polarity magnetic fields are currently present at the south pole of the sun. This ...
