In 2023, the European Space Agency reported on Solar Orbiter's discovery of tiny jets near the sun's south pole that could be powering the solar wind. The team behind this research has now used even ...

Solar Orbiter has revealed that tiny, hair-like jets in the Sun’s coronal holes are responsible for both fast and slow solar wind. Scientists have now confirmed that these fleeting bursts of energy ...

The above 40-second video is sped-up footage of the new-found jets flashing briefly near the Sun’s south pole. In reality, ...

The coronal holes are regions where the Sun's magnetic field lines open out into space, allowing solar wind to escape more easily. They appear ominously dark when viewed in ultraviolet as they are ...

Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ultraviolet light before a solar flare, which could act as an early warning system ...

What is space weather, what causes it, and how does it affect humans? Physicist Robyn Millan, who co-chaired a recent National Academies decadal report on solar and space physics, answered questions ...

The sun is reaching a solar maximum. Here's what that could mean for Iowa and our chances to see the aurora borealis, known ...

A new study has accurately estimated the physical parameters of thermal and magnetic field structures of solar coronal holes which have significant influence on space weather that affects satellites, ...

Aurora borealis is best seen between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time, according to NOAA, which recommends traveling to a high ...

Astronomers from the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Techno ...

How do you dust a star for prints? Scientists have the answer to this strange question: by reconstructing the magnetic field ...
