A twisting, whirling streamer of plasma escaping the sun in the aftermath of a coronal mass ejection (CME) has been captured ...

These twisted lines emerge from sunspots — darker, cooler regions on the sun's surface that form when magnetic fields from deep within our star push up to the surface. Solar flares can also ...

A flower-shaped structure only a few micrometers in size made of a nickel-iron alloy can concentrate and locally enhance ...

Solar flare eruptions are associated with coronal mass ejections, which occur when plasma from the sun interacts with the Earth’s magnetic field, according to the National Oceanic and ...

Most of the time, the Earth and Sun’s magnetic fields are misaligned, leaving our planet’s field less open to the ...

They look into the heart of the star that keeps us alive, investigate its gaseous envelope, the solar magnetic field and the high-energy particles which our Sun ejects into space. The surfaces of the ...
