What do a century of solar observations reveal? Insights into the Sun’s hidden polar activity
A century of solar observations from Kodaikanal Solar Observatory and modern satellite data reveal patterns in the Sun’s polar magnetic activity, aiding predictions of future solar cycles.
Located in the Eagle Nebula, E42 is thought to be a very early embryo of a star much like Earth’s sun. Members of a research team led by the University of Colorado at Boulder have used NASA’s Chandra ...
Starry Poles: Launched from Cape Canaveral five years ago, the Solar Orbiter has steadily delivered stunning insights about our star. Its latest achievement – a first-ever glimpse of the Sun's polar ...
Every eleven years, the sun's magnetic field flips. Sunspots—dark, cooler regions on the sun's surface that mark intense ...
For the first time, scientists have taken near-daily measurements of the Sun’s global coronal magnetic field, a region of the Sun that has only been observed irregularly in the past. The resulting ...
