The Sun

NASA's Parker Solar Probe has found charged grains of dust being carried on magnetic plasma waves in the Sun's outer atmosphere, providing a new clue to the mystery of the Sun's corona is so hot.

These results could benefit space weather forecasts.

"I was really surprised because I didn't expect such tall auroras to appear even during moderately intense storms."

Scientists studied how space junk moved in orbit over a 36-year span, finding that increased solar activity caused it to fall to Earth faster.

The twin eruptions briefly disrupted radio signals across the dayside of Earth.

Acting as stellar archaeologists, scientists have found fossilized magnetism on long-dead white dwarf stars, which may help to explain how stars evolve.

"In the inner corona, a region very difficult to observe, we saw slow solar wind gusts moving three to four times faster than expected."

An X1.4 solar flare triggered radio blackouts and launched a fast CME as NASA prepares for its Artemis 2 moon mission.

The powerful magnetic field belonging to the sun is generated far beneath the visible surface.

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.
