Astronomers are one step closer to understanding one of the most enduring solar mysteries, having captured unprecedented data from the sun's magnetic field. The groundbreaking data collected from the ...

A new model contradicts previous theories that the sun's magnetic field originates deep inside its interior. Deep origin theories could not explain rotation patterns of the sun's gas near its surface ...

Composite video image from NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory and NOAA’s Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite – R Series Solar Ultraviolet Imager instrument shows small-scale jetlet ...

AI has unlocked a century of solar history from hand-drawn observations at Kodaikanal Solar Observatory. Researchers used ...

Our solar system might be chock-full of tiny black holes, with some tracing out beautiful patterns resembling Spirograph drawings as they orbit inside the sun. Invisible dark matter seems to account ...

Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have conducted the most detailed simulation of the interior of stars and disproved a theory scientists have believed for 45 years: that stars switch their ...

Views from a new telescope in Hawaii and clues from spacecraft orbiting the sun could not only help us understand how stars work—they could help us predict solar activity that threatens Earth. A ...

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 ...

This illustration lays a depiction of the sun's magnetic fields over an image captured by NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory. The complex overlay of lines can teach scientists about the ways the sun's ...
