Solar scientists have found tiny, short-lived jets of energy on our sun to be the primary drivers of the solar wind, marking ...

The above 40-second video is sped-up footage of the new-found jets flashing briefly near the Sun’s south pole. In reality, ...

The 500,000-mile wide hole has cracked open the sun's atmosphere, leaving a gap over 62 times the diameter of Earth from which high-speed solar winds are now shooting towards us ...

Solar Orbiter has revealed that tiny, hair-like jets in the Sun’s coronal holes are responsible for both fast and slow solar ...

Did you know that the Sun has a magnetic field just as Earth does? And, every 11 years its polarity changes direction. This is known as a 'flip' - marking the point at which the Sun is halfway ...

The sun is reaching a solar maximum. Here's what that could mean for Iowa and our chances to see the aurora borealis, known ...

The coronal holes are regions where the Sun's magnetic field lines open out into space, allowing solar wind to escape more easily. They appear ominously dark when viewed in ultraviolet as they are ...

Charged particles can flow along these open magnetic field lines, heading away from the sun, and creating the solar wind. But a big question remained: How do these particles get launched from the ...

New research indicates that matter ejected during the supernova death of a star can fall back to neutrons stars, giving rise to mysterious "low-field magnetars." ...
