Since the magnetic field is sustained by geological activity deep within ... Sometimes the sun emits large bursts of magnetized solar plasma, called coronal mass ejections, which can cause major ...

Oct. 3, 2024 — For the first time, scientists have taken near-daily measurements of the Sun's global coronal magnetic field, a region of the Sun that has only been observed irregularly in the past.

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the aurora-causing effects of the solar wind. However, towards the equinox, the two fields ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the sun, when colliding, can generate powerful geomagnetic storms, impacting Earth's magnetic field and causing disruptions to ...

According to Space.com, NASA solar physicist David Hathaway's 75-year study reveals that March has more geomagnetically ...

As the spring equinox approaches, northern lights hunters will scour the skies for breathtaking displays of color.

Indian scientists report flareless coronal mass ejection observations from the Sun using VELC instrument on Aditya-L1 mission ...

“Coronal holes, which are dark regions in X-ray and extreme ultraviolet images of the Sun, have open magnetic field lines and are hence important for understanding the interplanetary medium and ...

High-speed winds from a spot on the sun’s surface may affect Earth’s magnetic field, pulling the ... storm conditions caused by a coronal hole high-speed stream, or winds from a ...

During March and September equinoxes, Earth's axis is parallel to the sun's. Magnetic fields of Earth and the solar wind momentarily coincide, creating "cracks" that allow charged particles to ...
