Earth is at the mercy of the Sun’s changing temperament. Solar storms are revving up, which makes a new exploration of the Sun’s activity more relevant than ever. In new research published Thursday in ...

For the first time, scientists have taken near-daily measurements of the Sun’s global coronal magnetic field, a region of the Sun that has only been observed irregularly in the past. The resulting ...

The Sun’s magnetic fields are the fundamental agents driving a wide array of dynamic phenomena in the corona, from flares to jets and the acceleration of the solar wind. Recent advances in ...

The most powerful solar telescope on Earth has just given us a key to help unlock the magnetic mysteries of the Sun. Now, the Daniel K. Inouye Solar Telescope has provided a map of magnetic fields in ...

The Sun’s magnetic poles are in the middle of an uneven, drawn-out reversal as Solar Cycle 25 moves through its solar maximum ...

The Sun is a magnetized star. Its magnetic field is essentially three dimensional and it occupies all layers of the solar atmosphere. However, routine measurements of the solar magnetic field have ...

Geomagnetic storm conditions linked to fast solar wind streams may increase aurora visibility tonight across Canada, Scandinavia, and Alaska, according to NOAA and the U.K. Met Office.

Illustration of the global coronal magnetic field as the Sun rotates. The background is the solar corona observed in extreme-ultraviolet waveband, with global coronal magnetic field maps measured at ...
