Physicists led by the University of Iowa have documented in the finest detail to date how energy from the sun interacts with ...

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 ...

A coronal mass ejection that erupted from the Sun on June 6, 2026, is on track to collide with Earth’s magnetic field on ...

Scientists have proposed a spacecraft-based system to actively strengthen Earth's magnetic shield and reduce the impact of ...

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 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 ...

Scientists find strong evidence that magnetic fields shape the weather on distant exoplanets for the first time.
