Solar radio bursts are intrinsically linked to the motion of their emitting source through the coronal and heliospheric ...

Solar flares strong enough to knock out satellites and buckle power grids are, by definition, rare. That rarity is exactly the problem for the machine-learning models tasked with predicting them: they ...

From Earth, we only ever see half of the sun. The other half—the far side—is always hidden from view. But what happens there still matters. Powerful activity forming on the far side can rotate toward ...

It even has a small moon.

An SwRI-led study identified particles accelerated to extremely high energies by magnetic reconnection near the Sun. As NASA’s Parker Solar Probe (trajectory shown in green) crossed the heliospheric ...

Solar magnetic activity plays a pivotal role in driving a myriad of eruptive events in the corona, including flares, filament eruptions and coronal mass ejections. These phenomena arise from the ...

Prominences are cool plasma structures extending several thousand kilometers in the Sun’s hot corona. Some persist for weeks.

They have missing "dipole magnetic fields." Here's why that's really weird. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how it works. Breaking space news, ...

The workings of our solar system are roughly the same now as they have been for millions of years. Moons circle their planets, the planets circle the sun, the sun’s magnetic fields and sunspots wax ...
