The burgeoning space industry and the technologies society increasingly relies on—electric grids, aviation and ...

Newly released imagery from NASA shows the Sun's corona in stunning detail after the Parker Solar probe performed its closest ...

As we approach solar maximum, something strange is happening to the sun's magnetic field. We explore this flip in polarity in more detail and look at the effects it could have on Earth.

Magnetic field data collected by ESA's Swarm satellites and other sources has been coverted into these frightening sounds.

A new sunspot forming on the surface of the sun might be about to fling solar flares in our direction. The sunspot, named 3856, is facing Earth and has developed a volatile type of magnetic field ...

The solar magnetic field is the main driver of space weather, which can cause damage to critical infrastructures like electricity, aviation, and our space-based technology.

Solar tornadoes are related to solar flares, which arise out of the tumultuous interplay of magnetic field lines on the Sun’s surface, kicking up clouds of plasma as it spirals.

New research suggests the sun’s magnetic field originates 20,000 miles beneath the surface, much closer than the previously estimated 130,000 miles. This discovery could improve predictions of ...

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 ...
