The sun is reaching a solar maximum. Here's what that could mean for Iowa and our chances to see the aurora borealis, known ...

A NASA satellite that suddenly reappeared after going silent gets credit for the remarkable discovery—a pair of temporary ...

As sunspots emerge on the sun's surface close to its equator, their orientations will match the old magnetic field, while sunspots forming closer to the poles will have a magnetic field matching the ...

Let's take a deep dive into the phenomenon of the sun's magnetic field reversal and investigate the effects it could have on Earth. Related: How a giant sunspot unleashed solar storms that spawned ...

This reversal, expected between late 2024 and early 2026, is a complex process correlated with sunspots. These regions of intense magnetic activity play a key role in the dynamics of the Sun's ...

Solar material is gusting out of the dark patch in the Sun's corona towards Earth at more than a million miles per hour.

Images captured by NASA's Solar Dynamics Observatory have revealed that "coronal loops" give off subtle flashes of ultraviolet light before a solar flare, which could act as an early warning system ...

The sun's magnetic field strengthens around the peak, and sunspot activity becomes vigorous. Domestic researchers announced the results of their analysis of the powerful solar geomagnetic storm ...
