For the first time, scientists have used satellite data to create a 3D map of the sun's interior magnetic field, the ...

Solar magnetism is a fundamental driver of dynamic phenomena on the Sun, manifesting in cyclic variations such as sunspot activity, flares, and coronal mass ejections. Central to this process is the ...

Every few years, the sun seems to change its mood. Dark spots appear and ...

Images of the sun over 10 years reveal how the star's activity spikes and dips over time. (Credit: The Yohkoh mission of ISAS, Japan, and NASA, United States) A team of solar scientists have uncovered ...

Scientists studying sound waves from deep inside the Sun have provided new insights into the solar dynamo within, which could help to explain how the Sun’s colossal magnetic field behaves. An ...

A team of solar scientists have uncovered the possible originals of the engine that drives much of the sun’s volatile nature—generating the sunspots that move like storm clouds over the surface and ...

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 ...

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 ...

The cover article in the scientific journal Nature published today — co-authored by Bates Associate Professor of Physics Jeffrey Oishi — upends decades-old beliefs about the sun and solar phenomena ...

In 1612, astronomer Galileo Galilei observed dark splotches can sunspots moving across the face of the sun. A new study could reveal the engine that drives these cloudy features, and much of the sun's ...
