Astronomers trying to measure the sun's age by analyzing vibrations rippling within the sun have realized something troubling. It seems that the solar cycle of magnetic activity is meddling with their ...

The sun's powerful magnetic dynamo that drives sunspot activity and contributes to unleashing powerful solar flares and ...

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 ...

Researchers at NYU Abu Dhabi have discovered new large-scale waves moving deep inside the sun, driven by magnetic fields far below the surface. These waves provide a window into parts of the sun that ...

A new study published in Nature Astronomy, led by Dr. Jie Yu, from the Australian National University, reveals that stars in close binary systems—pairs of stars orbiting each other at close range—can ...

Although we know the sun's age from independent measurements, the findings predict trouble ahead for similar studies of other stars. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...
