This magnetic cycle lasts approximately 22 years, through which the sun's magnetic field reverses and then reverts to its original state, Ryan French, a solar astrophysicist and Space.com ...

Solar flares happen because of the constantly moving magnetic fields in the Sun's atmosphere. As the Sun approaches solar maximum (the most active part of its 11-year cycle), its magnetic fields ...

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 ...

Vasil and his team developed new models of the interaction between the sun's magnetic field and the flow of plasma, which varies at different latitudes during an 11-year cycle.

Armed with a better understanding of where the Sun’s magnetic field comes from, physicists may soon stand a better chance of predicting how much activity each 11-year solar cycle holds in store.

The sun's magnetic field originates much closer to the surface than previously thought, according to new research. The finding could help predict periods of solar storms.

Surprise findings suggest sunspots and solar flares could be generated by a magnetic field within the Sun’s outermost layers. If confirmed, the findings could help scientists better predict ...

During solar maximum, the sun flips its magnetic field and swaps its poles, which affects activity on the star’s surface, sending more solar flares hurtling towards the Earth.
