Although we cannot see it with our bare human eyes, the sun is highly dynamic. On the sun's surface, regions of concentrated magnetic fields manifest ... an 11-year solar cycle.

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 ...

Stunning imagery from outer space shows the power of the Sun, with a massive solar flare and coronal mass ejection erupting from the giant star’s surface, but space experts say there is no need ...

There may be more northern lights – or aurora borealis – sightings this spring. As we near the spring equinox, also known as the vernal equinox, on March 20, the Earth's magnetic field and ...

3. Solar cycle: The sun has a magnetic field with north and south poles similar to a bar magnet. The magnetic field exists due to the constant movement of electrically charged particles within the Sun ...

The reason behind this has to do with the solar cycle. Like a bar magnet, the Sun also has a magnetic field with north and south poles. The magnetic field exists due to the constant movement of ...

before starting the gradual rise of activity again in Solar Cycle 2026. According to NASA, solar cycles occur because the Sun's magnetic field flips -during one decade, the north pole will be on the ...
