Since the 1990s, scientists have observed that the sun emits many different kinds of high energy radiation such as gamma rays, as expected from theoretical predictions. But now, a new study based ...

"After six years' worth of data, out popped this excess of gamma rays," Nisa said "When we first saw it, we were like, 'We definitely messed this up. The sun cannot be this bright at these energies.'" ...

Summer brings heat, sun and outdoor fun. But it also means protecting your skin from sunburn and harmful ultraviolet sun rays ...

You've heard of how mighty supernovas are, or of the ungodly amounts of energy released by gamma ray bursts. But astronomers ...

The new sunspot responsible for this powerful blast is rotating into view, which could bring more solar activity—and potential aurora-causing coronal mass ejections—to Earth in the coming days ...

But China’s GECAM-C space telescope wasn’t blinded, allowing astronomers to measure the energy of the initial gamma-ray blast ... Then the sun got in the way of the observations, and ...

These events are known as fast X-ray transients (FXRT), and the newly spotted blast has been designated ... never been previously observed,” Hui Sun, a team member from the Einstein Probe ...

A coronal mass ejection — when plasma and magnetic particles burst forth from the sun’s surface — occurred on Sunday, the same day as the official start of fall, Space.com reported.
