Scientists from Skolkovo Institute of Science and Technology, together with scientists from the University of Graz, Kanzelhöhe Observatory, and Columbia University, have discovered how coronal ...

Researchers at the University of Hawaiʻi have usedrare total solar eclipses to gain unprecedented insights into the turbulent ...

In an achievement that defies conventional wisdom among astronomers, a trio of eclipse chasers has captured what experts confirm is the first documented observation of the solar corona during a ...

Earth is at the mercy of the Sun’s changing temperament. Solar storms are revving up, which makes a new exploration of the Sun’s activity more relevant than ever. In new research published Thursday in ...

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 ...

A team led by Shadia Habbal at the Institute for Astronomy — drawing on more than a decade of eclipse observations — for the first time clearly identified turbulent structures in the sun’s corona, ...

The Sun’s magnetic fields are the fundamental agents driving a wide array of dynamic phenomena in the corona, from flares to jets and the acceleration of the solar wind. Recent advances in ...

The European Space Agency's Solar Orbiter spacecraft — launched in February 2020 and taking the first-ever images of the sun at close range — has sent back one of the most detailed images of our star.

Astronomers observed the sun without a single sunspot for the first time in over three years, hinting at a slowdown in Solar ...

Solar Cycle 25 has reached its most active phase, bringing stronger solar flares and geomagnetic storms that may affect Earth’s technology.

The sun's visible disk has been perfectly free from sunspots for the first time since June 2022, suggesting the current solar cycle might be heading toward its quieter phase.

A research team has presented a mechanism that explains how coronal dimmings—darkened, depleted areas on the sun caused by intense plasma eruptions—recover.
