A small NASA space telescope has revealed surprising magnetic braids of super-hot matter in the sun's outer atmosphere, a find that may explain the star's mysteriously hot corona, researchers say.

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 ...

The whole of the sun's magnetic field is about to "flip", according to NASA - with warning signs being spotted by observatories around the world this year. This "flip" happens every 11 years, and ...

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 ...
