A research team led by Dr. Shen Jinhua from the Xinjiang Astronomical Observatory (XAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has investigated rapid spatiotemporal vertical electric currents (VECs) ...

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

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 ...

"We didn't know what exactly to expect from these first observations – the sun's poles are literally terra incognita,” Sami ...

Now, the magnetic field is a “kind of mess,” she said, based on Solar Orbiter’s observations, with no dominant polarity at either extreme. Studying the polar regions should help scientists ...

But unlike the northern lights, which are visible from many places in the Northern Hemisphere, the southern lights are more ...

Have you ever felt like your dog had a sixth sense? We know they have outstanding hearing (they’re at our door waiting when ...

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

Unlike Earth, the Moon doesn't have much of a magnetic field – and yet, a strange pile of rocks on the far side seems mysteriously magnetized.

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 ...

Scientists convert Earth's magnetic field collapse from 41,000 years ago into chilling audio, revealing ancient cosmic ...
