The sun rises and sets every day. We plan our lives around it. It's ironic, then, that "we know so little about the star at the center of our solar system," says Matina Gkioulidou, a space physicist ...
Scientists have analyzed more than 40 years of astronomical data to uncover evidence that the sun's internal structure subtly ...
A 14-year-old NASA satellite that wasn't supposed to return until 2034 crashed into Earth's atmosphere on Wednesday morning, dragged down eight years early by the most hyperactive solar cycle in ...

The sun hasn't looked like this since 2022, what's going on?
The sun's visible disk has been perfectly free from sunspots for the first time since June 2022, suggesting the current solar cycle might be heading toward its quieter phase.
Astronomers have achieved a major breakthrough in solar physics by successfully producing detailed maps of the Sun's coronal magnetic fields. This milestone promises to enhance our understanding of ...
The recent flurry of solar storms suggests the sun is in a period of maximal activity as part of its 11-year cycle. The active period is likely to continue over the next year, so more auroras could be ...
For the first time, scientists have used satellite data to create a 3D map of the sun's interior magnetic field, the fundamental driver of solar activity. The research, published in The Astrophysical ...
The poles of the sun’s magnetic field are fading away. But don’t panic: it’s all part of our host star’s usual 11-year cycle of activity. Over the past couple of years, solar activity—as measured by ...
