The multimillion-dollar experiment that was years in the making comes as the federal government makes broad cuts to science ...

Geologic records reveal that magnetic field strength and oxygen levels rise and fall together, implying deep-Earth processes ...

Scientists believe the Sun’s magnetic field could reverse within our lifetime, a natural cycle that occurs roughly every 11 ...

On June 11, the European Space Agency (ESA) published the first-ever images of the South Pole of the Sun taken by the Solar Orbiter spacecraft.

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 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 ...

The stripes, called striations, ripple across the walls of solar granules—convection cells in the Sun’s photosphere where hot ...

The Sun is preparing for a major event: the reversal of its magnetic field. This phenomenon marks a turning point in the solar cycle, signaling the transition from solar maximum to solar minimum. This ...

Even though the sun's current solar cycle hasn't reached its peak yet, scientists have seen signs that the next 11-year solar cycle is already getting ready for its time to shine.

The Sun's magnetic field reverses approximately every 11 years, and since the last time it did so in 2013, it is expected to reverse again within the next few years. Space news site 'Space ...
