The sun has become more and more active over the last 16 years, in a turn that surprised scientists and could affect space weather and technology on Earth, NASA announced this week. A new research, ...
The sun has become increasingly active since 2008, a new NASA study shows. Solar activity is known to fluctuate in cycles of 11 years, but there are longer-term variations that can last decades. Case ...
The spotlight is on AR4079: a giant, newly arrived sunspot group. It may have only just rotated onto the Earth-viewed sun, but it seems we’ve seen this region before. AR4079 appears to be the return ...
The Sun has produced another powerful X-class solar flare, underscoring the heightened activity of Solar Cycle 25 and reminding scientists that our star is entering one of its most energetic phases in ...
Has the Sun’s activity increased or decreased in the last few years? This is what a recent study published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters hopes to address as a team of scientists investigated ...
The world’s most powerful solar telescope has captured the highest resolution observations of the sun’s visible surface — and uncovered a hidden process that drives solar activity. Scientists used the ...
