When NASA scientists first picked up a radio signal from the Sun in August 2025, the burst looked unremarkable. Solar radio ...
A new model that posits the same physical process is responsible for magnetic field and the rotation patterns, contradicting previous theories that the sun’s magnetic field originates deep inside its ...
They say beauty is only skin deep, and apparently so is the Sun’s magnetic field, according to a recent study. The Sun’s magnetic field is shallow, suggests new research, which used computer ...
An illustration of the sun's magnetic fields overlaid on an image of the sun captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory in 2016. NASA / SDO / AIA / LMSAL The sun’s magnetic field could form much ...
Our Sun is far from a smooth, white ball in the sky. Twisting and looping magnetic field lines rise from its surface like hair, causing dark, transient patches on the surface called sunspots wherever ...
How does the Sun’s magnetic field react during solar storms? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a team of scientists led by the Southwest ...
You might be scared if you heard Earth’s North Pole and South Pole were about to flip positions. The sun is about to do the same thing, and it’s not a worry for us. The sun is a big magnetic ball of ...
The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle. The shift in polarity ...
