Readings from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory are causing astronomers to question our understanding of exactly how the magnetic fields of stars akin to our own Sun are generated.

An image of the solar corona in ultraviolet light taken by the EUI instrument on March 22, 2023. ESA & NASA/Solar Orbiter/EUI Team "The Sun's magnetic field is key to understanding the dynamic ...

The sun is gearing up for a major solar flip, NASA says. In an event that occurs once every 11 years, the magnetic field of the sun will change its polarity in a matter of months, according to new ...

Scientists believe the Sun’s magnetic field could reverse within our lifetime, a natural cycle that occurs roughly every 11 years. While this solar polarity shift is not dangerous, it can impact space ...

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has directly observed a powerful magnetic explosion in the sun's corona that could help us predict ...
