Helioseismic data traces the solar dynamo to the tachocline about 200,000 km down.

Mercury, Venus, and Mars sit within the same general neighborhood as Earth, yet each has followed a radically different path. One kept a magnetic field against the odds. Another trapped so much heat ...

Researchers have developed a novel technique to investigate the dynamics of the early Solar System by analyzing magnetites in meteorites utilizing the wave nature of electrons. Within meteorites, the ...

A small, round piece of asteroid Ryugu (sample #91), called “S-lunar,” contains tiny particles (less than 1 mm) that will allow planetary scientists to study the magnetic signature of the early solar ...

Every eleven years, the sun's magnetic field flips. Sunspots—dark, cooler regions on the sun's surface that mark intense magnetic activity and often trigger solar eruptions—appear at mid-latitudes and ...

Citizen scientists reviewing NASA data discovered unusually high Solar flare rates, helping researchers better understand the ...

The Sun's warping of Earth's magnetic protections could explain how aurora occur in other parts of our solar system. Reading time 2 minutes Our Sun is a dynamic star, constantly bombarding our planet ...

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 ...

Just as avalanches on snowy mountains start with the movement of a small quantity of snow, the ESA-led Solar Orbiter spacecraft has discovered that a solar flare is triggered by initially weak ...

Approximately 4.5 billion years ago, a cold cloud of gas and dust buried deep in one of the Milky Way galaxy’s spiral arms started to collapse. From there, gravity worked its magic. The cloud began to ...
