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

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

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 ...

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 ...

The Sun’s activity is determined by the Sun’s magnetic field. Two combined effects are responsible for the latter: The omega and the alpha effect. Exactly where and how the alpha effect originates is ...

"We show that isolated perturbations near the sun's surface, far from the deeper layers, can grow over time to potentially produce the magnetic structures we see." When you purchase through links on ...

Kanpur: Researchers at Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur (IIT-K) mapped the magnetic field inside the Sun for the first ...

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 ...
