The sun is on the verge of a significant event: a magnetic field reversal. This phenomenon happens roughly every 11 years and marks an important stage in the solar cycle. The shift in polarity ...

Learn why the Sun’s magnetic field is just as important as Earth’s and its impact on our planet.

The Sun is a magnetized star. Its magnetic field is essentially three dimensional and it occupies all layers of the solar atmosphere. However, routine measurements of the solar magnetic field have ...

New research suggests the sun’s magnetic field originates 20,000 miles beneath the surface, much closer than the previously estimated 130,000 miles. This discovery could improve predictions of extreme ...

Solar wind generated by the sun is probably driven by a process involving powerful magnetic fields, according to a new study led by UCL (University College London) researchers based on the latest ...

The Sun’s magnetic fields are the fundamental agents driving a wide array of dynamic phenomena in the corona, from flares to jets and the acceleration of the solar wind. Recent advances in ...

Scientists tracked active solar region NOAA 13664 for 94 days, showing how persistent magnetic complexity drives flares and ...

A new study reveals that tiny fragments of Earth's atmosphere are transported to and absorbed by the moon via gusts of solar ...

Scientists say Earth’s magnetic field may have funneled atmospheric particles to the moon for billions of years. Lunar soil could preserve a record of Earth’s past while providing resources for future ...
